The End of Wave 1!
With all the folks starting Sonoma this week-end, I thought my "just finished" experiences on Wave 1 might be a little boost when the going gets rough.
First, I did lose weight and inches on this plan. I don't have an exact figure, but it was enough to move me off a 2 month plateau. Secondly, my skin looks and feels better. My acne and redness have calmed considerably, and I've had friends (MALE friends who never notice these things) comment on how I look. My clothes fit better, and I have more energy, which I've re-dedicated to my work-outs.
For the first four days, I had a blistering headache from sugar withdrawl, and I've read how some have had irritable bowels/upset stomachs from the increase in fiber. It all passes or diminishes. And today, I don't really crave anything! It will be great to have some fruit tomorrow, and some wine next week, but I know I'll be content with what the plan encourages me to have. After only 10 days, I feel like this plan is a habit I can keep for the rest of my life.
By the end of the month, I don't think it will be a plan at all, it will just be the way I eat. I think that's the goal of Sonoma, and if you're just starting out, I want you know, at least for me, it's everything I hoped it would be.
Good luck, stay with it, and keep posting your successes!
