The foods in this phase are more restrictive, focused primarily on fruits and vegetables with some soups mixed in.
Definitely more tired today, although that could result from the very few hours of sleep I have gotten over the past few days.
I also have a slight headache for the first time in this challenge. I'm not sure what that stems from, but it is not unbearable, so I'm not whining about it. Yet.
What I am whining about is my irrational mood. It would seem that the Release Phase has actually unleashed PMS-like mood swings for me. So, that's fun for everyone around me. Luckily my kids have been spending most of their time at work, sports, or friends houses (where the parents actually cook) lately, so only the ultra-forgiving dog and cats have to endure my b-wordness.
On the bright side, this appears to be the week where I'm going so see the most health benefits through weight loss and toxin release. And I learned that I love baked sweet potatoes. Who knew? I mean, I find baked potatoes to be boring and gross, even when smothered in sour cream. But baked sweet potatoes are perfection. Or that may be the severe lack of processed foods talking.
On another positive note, I received my free Beachbody Challenge t-shirt for completing my ChaLEAN Extreme program. It's super cute, even if it is a crew neck. And covered in cat hair.
