Day 15 of 21DSD

Aug 23, 2013 - Day 15 of SD: 

Weigh in day! Another 2.4 pounds off my body! That's a total of 10.8, but who's counting! — feeling awesome.Today was another good day! Todd took off for a doctor appointment, so we did what all good middle-aged couples did...went to the doctors! It dawned on me as I was sitting in the waiting room at Todd's appointment that WE ARE GETTING OLDER!!! I'm talking about those particular appointments that we have to keep that involve drinking a bunch of a peculiar-tasting liquid and spending the entire evening before in the bathroom or having our boobs smashed between two cold, flat things are the ones I'm talking about. It's official! We're a middle-aged couple. 

I think that now is the time to step this up a notch and hit the gym! When I notified my personal trainer, Eric Lewis, that I'm ready to get serious about working out, he gave me great advice. He said, "Never set a FINISH line." I think that is some of the best advice I've ever gotten. He went on to say that when you set that line, and then you cross it, it's too easy to revert back to your old ways. I love that advice (and I love that guy!)
Yesterday, I had the thought of this 21 day sugar detox being like the starting block of a very long race! Now, it is confirmed that this is not a race, but a lifelong journey. There will be peaks and valleys, curves and straightaways, but there will never be a finish line.
