Detox: The End!

David and I decided last Saturday to end our Detox. I know we didn't make it the full 21 days, but we did complete two weeks of it. In the end, it was more of a hassle than anything else. We did however learn some valuable lessons from the whole process
Here is what we've learned:
  • Eat more vegetables! I'm adding some edamame to our list of favorite vegetables. I've grown addicted to it and could eat it all the time. David on the other hand is protesting all vegetables!
  • Eat less! Our portions of food have become smaller and we don't snack as much as we used to. I've actually not gone to get my Doritos yet but am still craving them. Hopefully, these are just natural cravings, and not a sign that little Detox is on his way!
  • Don't eat out as much! David is dying with this one. I've had to create new rules with this aspect of our lives. We are allowed to eat out on Saturdays and Sunday afternoon, ONLY! One Friday night, before the detox, I made a pizza and it was actually good. So we will continue this and probably make it a family tradition. We even eat leftovers the following night or at least within that same week. If you know David and see him this week, give him a huge hug. He needs it with his wife being such a food Nazi now.

Hopefully we are able to remember all these as we continue off this program. I have high hopes for us!
