The blog title is a line from a Broadway song...."There is a light at the end of the tunnel.. (chorus 'I see the light, I see the light!')" .
- For some reason or another as I sat down to right this and reflect on my day this song just popped in my head. It was a song I performed in the choir back in high school for our Tribute to Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Today, the words of this phrase seem to mean an awful lot to me. As good as I have been feeling since the start of the detox, I am glad to see it come to a close. I kind of just went through the motions today of the detox. No variety or anything fun, but I got through it! I am looking forward to trying the new ideas for meals! My entire family can join in! I can't wait to eat chicken, cheese and salad again!
I am also really looking forward to week 3 when we focus on staying fit. I really need to find something that will work for me and my schedule. Right now I have not really sat down and spent time to think what and where it fits in.
I spent my day at home with my family. My husband was home so that was such a blessing. He spent a lot of it outside plowing our foot and half of snow we got last night and today, but otherwise hung out the boys so I could get caught up on laundry, dishes, etc...... plus I got to go get my hair done!
This is the second time writing this b/c somehow it deleted over half the blog when I hit enter! I hope I did not forget what else I said before! I am missing a cousin night out tonight......yes, I could of gone and enjoyed the company, but my stomach hurts today and I felt like I would be no fun. Plus, my little one has a cold and I did not want him around my mom who gets sick if someone breaths on her! My eldest still went to "Babi's" house for a sleep over - he was SO excited! My husband went to the cousin night out and will probably have a sleep over at my brothers house as well! No drinking and driving!
I am going to probably fall asleep when the little one goes down............why not, right?!?!?
I hope you see the light.........I do

We made it through the first week. One of the unexpected benefits has been that I have tried some new recipes and my husband really likes them. I don't have to make a separate dinner for him because he is eating what I eat and really enjoying it. I am ready to expand my diet but i will continue eating the rice and beans - they're good!
bmoody -
i am so glad that your hubby is eating along with you! that is fantastic! i think mine will not that we can add meat back into it.
Maria,
Missed reading blog last night before bed. Hope everything is ok. I know how busy life can get tho. I am loving this 'whole food' way of eating. Never ever thought I would but I am definitely staying fuller longer and have more energy. Who would have thunk it? I am fine with keeping a food journal but it's wierd not counting calories. I kind of want to know how many calories I am consuming vs. how many I am burning. I would love to hear what kind of recipes you and other commenters are trying. Maybe you could share some in your blog??? =)
Hope you are having a good week so far!
