The Blood Sugar Solution 10-Day Detox Diet: Activate Your Body's Natural Ability to Burn Fat and Lose Weight Fast (31 page)

How am I feeling physically?

What changes do I notice in my body?

What thoughts and emotions are present for me today?

How often do I generally go to the bathroom? (Check in with yourself and take stock of your usual elimination habits.)

Do I generally drink enough water or get enough fiber in my diet? If not, what changes can I think about making?

If I am eliminating regularly on this program, how do I feel as a result?

I started at 209 pounds with high hopes for good health. My initial blood work uncovered that I was anemic, which only gave me more of a reason to eat better. Over the past year, I was constantly out of breath and my heart would pound whenever I tried to do any physical activity. The first two days on the treadmill were tough; it was all I could do to finish a mile in thirty minutes. By Day 10, I was walking at 3 mph and up to 1.5 miles in twenty-five minutes.

I literally watched my health return, and for that I am very grateful. Today I am down nine pounds and four inches off my waist and hips. Simply amazing after only ten days—with no cravings, no lack of food, no deprivation.
