Spent-- Day 3 and 4

So, I decided to just tread water most of the weekend, continuing the changes I made last week. Our 4th of July tradition includes Red-White-and-Blue waffles for breakfast. I had some healthy blueberry-buckwheat waffles while the kids had regular ones covered with fruit and whipped cream :) Still had my smoothie for lunch and we had a healthy meal for dinner. I had been avoiding all refined sugar but I did make some homemade limeade with white sugar and it was very refreshing. Wesley and I made Rice Krispie Treats with patriotic sprinkles and I ate a small square of that. I was feeling great and didn't want to sabotage the progress I had made.

Day 3, the new step was releasing tension. He speaks of fascia, a system of connective tissue throughout your body that is often tight and tense and the reason for many aches and soreness. He recommends a form of massage where you lay on some tennis balls. But thanks to my wonderful guy, I have a massage chair! I often sit in it to relax at night before going to bed or when I wake up achy. So, last night I made myself a little footbath at the base of my chair, and enjoyed some relaxing time there while watching a movie I had rented (Revolutionary Road). Then lights out early was easy.

So, Day 4 I haven't read yet, but it is about breathing.... will report more on that later. Today I feel so good, it just makes me want to breathe deeply. Haven't had caffeine in 4 days so that is out of my system... and minimal sugar. I do like that I can have fruit. I haven't done well in the past trying to cut 100% sugars, even fruits.
