That didn't last
Well, that whole diet cleanse thing I was trying didn't last very long.
For one full week I cut out all sugar, dairy, flour, alcohol, and processed foods from my diet. I cooked healthy meals full of vegetables and whole grains. In conjunction with that I started getting back into running after at least six months of not exercising. I felt extremely deprived and often not satisfied after eating. After one week I lost no weight and felt only marginally better (maybe 5% better, if at all). So I decided the deprivation wasn't worth it, and I am stopping the cleanse.
What that exercise did do, however, was get me back into cooking more and eating healthier in general. In that respect it was successful. And I can still eat well so long as I turn that "no" list into "in moderation", which I am doing.
I'm looking forward to going to the Farmer's Market again on Saturday to see what tasty stuff they have there then.
