At the grocery store, a woman stopped me and said, “You have the healthiest looking shopping cart in the whole store!” I was ecstatic! “YAAAASSSSSSS,” I thought to myself, “Even a complete stranger can tell I am doing something incredible!” And when you eat all the veggies that Bob prescribes you, it takes incredible amounts of planning and your shopping cart looks like a heaping pile of plants and leaves (especially when you don’t package your veggies in that awful clear plastic on a roll; I just put them in my cart and then in a re-usable bag and then straight to my fridge). And, it is worth it!
Although weak at times, grumpy at times, and a persistent din of hunger at all times, I feel fantastic! I delight at all the new recipes I am creating in my kitchen. I feel powerful in my discipline to stick to all the rules. Not one bite, lick or sip has crossed these lips that Bob hasn’t ordained.
Things I learned as I round out the halfway mark in the second half of this journey are:
Electrolyte tablets should be in everyone’s daily practice. Never did before, always will from now on.
You don’t need to eat/drink everything that comes across you.
The veggies. So many veggies and so much more you can do with them.
The last one surprised me. I thought I had a good handle on veggies. There is so much more out there. Thank you Bob Harper <3
I would say what I miss the most is probably chocolate. Never was a huge chocolate person but for some reason, that one is the hardest.
Day 11- Went bowling and felt really good when I was throwing that ball down the lane.
