Reconditioning
Day 5 post I started discussing how this process is changing what is"normal" for us.
Weekends are our time to splurge. I make brownies & mini apple pies. (I do want to mention that they are from scratch with the best ingredients possible) We have big breakfasts and snack throughout the day. This WAS the norm.
This weekend we kept active. I handle the cooking to keepKym Lamb my husband out of the kitchen to avoid temptation. Being in the kitchen is not an issue for me. (If you are doing this with a partner, and I suggest that you do, be sure to communicate what tasks you can and can not handle.) I do, however, have a problem with dishes...my husband doesn't ;0)
Communication Problem A Blessing?
I spent Saturday & Sunday with laryngitis, (Note: I did contact my doctor to be sure staying on the cleanse was ok.) No fever, no pain...strangely enough I still had energy...just NO voice!But it was a blessing! I tend to be the "Manager" of the house and verbal expressing myself is a key element of that job...Talk about RECONDITIONING! My children found out that I can still get my point across without speaking and I found out...I talk a lot! Seriously, the simple change of directions in our house made everyone more attentive to each other and my actions became far more important than my words. (And don't tell my family, but I kinda enjoyed being quiet and observing them all.)
OK. Stop Talking And Give Me The DEETS!

More tired today and a little irritable this afternoon. (Note: it was my husband's weekend to run sound at church and the kids were ready to get back to school.) I also started craving sweets tonight and found it harder to cook the kids meals!

I was cold today. But it is winter in Ohio so that is not a shock!
