Wrapping Up Week 3

I'm finding this a little hard to believe, but I swear, it's true:

Since Thursday (Feb 3rd), I've been losing a pound a day. So has Craig. 

I've lost a total of 6.8 lbs so far and Craig has lost 12 lbs. So needless to say...we're definitely doing this for another week.

I also wanted to share with you some resources I've found.

Dr. Junger has set up a web site specifically for those doing the Clean diet. Cleanprogram.com

There's no cost to join, you just set up an account and they take a day to approve your membership. Once they do that, you'll have access to a web site that's set up to feel a lot like Facebook. You'll have your profile page, and you'll be able to have 'friends' whose walls you can post on, but there are also forums for discussions, videos by Dr. Junger to walk you through each week, additional recipes, and all kinds of blogs by people doing the program. All in all, it seems to be a really nice, supportive community.

There's also a site called Cleanrevolution.tv, with more videos by Dr. Junger (like Understanding & Healing Allergies) and interviews with celebrity type folks who have done the Clean diet.

And I found this video on YouTube, which pretty much sums up why we thought this program would be good for Craig. He didn't have the same problems this guy Guido did, but the Alopecia that Craig has is an auto-immune disorder, so what Dr. Junger's talking about is pretty much what was happening with Craig in a different form.

One more thing that I wanted to add - I don't need coffee! I haven't even TRIED to kick coffee, and yet, I find myself forgetting all about it. I haven't had any since Thursday, and the only reason I drank it then was because of the cold weather that came through, driving temps down into the teens <brrrrr>. 

No more headaches....no more panic over the thought of not having coffee and getting that headache. I'm clear-headed in the mornings. Now, I'm not saying I'm a morning person, so if you work with me, do NOT expect me to be chipper and lively. And if you're chipper and lively with me, I might punch you in the throat. But at least I'll be doing it with a clear head.
