I am back again and giving this another whirl. So let me give you a little update since my last post. I realize it has been quite a few months. After my last post, I went into my 2nd 30-day set of juicing. From my last post you can tell it had been rough, even my fiance noticed I was depressed. So he suggested I have 1 meal a day, and I agreed. So, my 2nd 30 days began, and I looked forward to the meal. At this point, I was doing fine, until the 2nd week came around. I then, couldn't help, but snack on something here and there. By the end of the 2nd set of 30 days, I was at more than just one meal/ I didn't lose as much. What I did realize though, is that I didn't lose more than I thought I would in the first month, much less the 2nd month. Basically, what I am saying, I went through all that suffering, to have results that didn't Continue Reading
Day 18 – #60DayJuiceChallenge
So I am well into the whole juicing adventure, I finished my 5-day juicing challenge which is what I initially signed up for. But wanted to take it further as I mentioned in my last post. I am as the title suggests on Day 18 and let me tell you, at this point in my adventure, it is not at all easy. I crave food, but really who wouldn't? I cook for William (my honey), I had a little taste of some mashed potatoes, and a string, literally a string of chicken. I won't say that is cheating, but I think I needed it, not trying to make excuses. This is really hard, especially since I am trying to finish my 60 days without quitting, as I am not a quitter. As of today, well not today, last time I weighed myself I was at 223.6 I believe, which if you follow me is a huge difference, but I am still a ways away from the ideal goal weight I would Continue Reading
Holidays & Weight Management Update
So yeah I have seriously gone MIA, but have returned, have some good and bad news for you. Bad news: I gained weight lol, I blame myself and the holidays hehe. Good News: I have discovered serious juicing! I was doing fine with my eating up until after my birthday, then I slowly progressed to not eating as well, by the end of December I had already discovered juicing with Joe Cross after watching his 2 documentaries. Then found him on Facebook. He offered a 5-day plan for free, and we jumped on it, as in my fiance since he stopped smoking, has gained weight, and was never unhealthy, but it does cause me concern, so he will be trying the juicing, but not as intense as I will. So after joining his support group, and the challenge which will run for 5 days, I choose to go for 60, which is what he did and made it. If he can, I can Continue Reading
Weigh-in #14 ~ Keep on Trucking
I’m not really post-dating, I did weigh in yesterday morning, and it’s Sunday today, so I am kind of post-dating the date. I usually call it posting about it over the same weekend, so yay! Even though I put yesterday's date, just for my own records, so I don’t get confused. I’ve been doing reasonably well, until Friday, when I goofed up. William texted me and asked if I felt like having a Subway, sandwich and I thought yay great! They have healthy sandwiches. We had a Subway sandwich a few weeks before, he asked me to email him what I’d like, and I am always a stickler for details and getting all the calorie counts. Well I waited until the last minute and I hadn’t done it yet, so I checked my email and copied an old email and sent him it, even though I read it said Teriyaki Chicken and that is yummy and I knew it would be. I glanced at Continue Reading
Weigh-in #10 *sigh*
So I weighed in this morning, before heading out to do some grocery shopping! I gained 1 lb, I know I seem to be yo-yo-ing!! I was a little disappointed, but during the week I told myself I’d probably gain, I didn’t exactly cheat, and I wouldn’t say that I stayed within my calories, on some days I came under my calorie count, it made me happy, it gave me that cushion, for just in case, I guess it wasn’t enough cushion. I am not pointing fingers at anyone at all! This is all on me, I take full responsibility for gaining anything, BUT lol, Williams's mom makes some awesome lasagna I do watch how much I eat and still try to enjoy a nice meal, but the temptation can be unbearable sometimes. I think I am pretty good with temptation though. There were a few times I wanted to cheat and not tell William, but I tell myself, I am only harming Continue Reading
