lose the lard-post #5

today's post is on the virtues of cleansing.

i'm not sure how many of you are still eating processed foods. but i've switched over entirely to whole unprocessed foods. i cook everything myself, so that when i go out to eat and have less control over the pieces of the puzzle, it does less damage. first of all, i'm eating a lot more veggies--broccoli, spinach, mixed greens, watercress. in general, i feel much better when i eat greens, but i knew i was getting enough of them per day. combined with drinking more water, it has a very, ahem, cleansing effect on the body. and i'm telling you, you will never feel so good.

i've indulged several times in mashed potatoes this week too. :(

back to exercise.

glad to see everyone making progress! we should set up a private flickr pool and post before and after pictures (without faces or heads or whatever) once we get to our goals! that would be good motivation too.

I started laughing out loud when I read that. It's great that you're eating more veggies and getting more water.

Isn't it annoying sometimes when you eat certain healthy foods and all of a sudden it just moves everything right along?

haha! it's so true. but i feel much healthier. there's no need for fiber pills, anything fancy (or expensive), just a good amount of veggies.

i guess it helps if you LOVE vegetables. i feel bad for people who can't stand them. they don't know what they're missing!
