So, we survived the 10-day detox part of the diet program. I was disappointed the weight loss wasn't more dramatic. I felt like it just validated the fact that we eat pretty well and probably didn't need to "detox." Despite that, we have stuck to the plan and are slowly reintroducing foods. So far, I have successfully reintroduced the 7-grain Sourdough from my local bakery and eggs. Now I'm trying dairy. I have just put feta on my salad. There wasn't much movement on the scale for me this week, but Doc says I lost 2 inches off my waist! Okay... That was helpful in keeping me motivated. DH lost 2 lbs. Physical therapy is all abs and glute work to provide some relief to my back and hips. I had the steroidal injection into my hip on Thursday, but I have no gigs coming up any time soon and it's too darn cold for a nice, long walk. I guess I'll just have to jump on the elliptical this week to test it out. Almost forgot about Superbowl Sunday! Typically, we stay home and make a bunch of party food. It's not dissimilar to our NYE. (We love party food, but not so much the parties.) This year, we have decided to try a healthier versions like chicken and veggie nachos, cauliflower bites, and assorted cut veggies. I'm even excited about trying a new veggie this week: kholrabi! OH! TOM came to visit this week. (Although, can we even call it that when you're peri-menopausal?) I was really hoping it wasn't coming back. Ah well... 61 day without it was blissful and I had no crazy symptoms this time. Fingers crossed it'll be normal-ish and not last 3 months.
