You know how sometimes you pray for something and then you have to kinda laugh at how God answered for you??
I have really been praying about my weight, or more specifically jump-starting weight loss as I was up 20 pounds from were I need to be. I had been having a hard time getting/keeping motivation, until...... last weekend when we, who are never sick, actually had a horrible time with a stomach bug... I lost 5 pounds in the first 24 hours and now a week later still have no appetite and the pounds are still off.
But back to the point, my plan is to start the master cleanse on Wednesday and continue it for at least 10 days if possible. I feel that right now is a good mental and physical time for this. I had been able to start exercising again over the past month and my goal for that is to do at least 4 days a week for at least an hour of either cardio or ttapp...especially the dreaded tempo lower body

with cardio.
After completing the master cleanse my plan is:
breakfast: kefir smoothie with fruit and protein powder
lunch: whole wheat pita with tuna or chicken salad with lots of fresh/raw veggies
snack: nuts or cheese
dinner: small amount of whatever's for dinner.. protein and veggies mainly
at least 3 liters of water thru out the day.
I know that I can do this, I've just got to stick with it. I also know that my body will respond to this plan.
I've set a goal of Feb 2 to have at least 6-10 more pounds off. We are going on a big vacation the first week of Feb, and I can worry about the last 5 pounds after we get back.
I am concerned about the MC as I started it last year and lasted only 2 days.... can I help that I really love to eat? I am really just wanting to stay focused.
I almost forgot... i have been drinking green tea blends lately thru out the day. I think that it has also really helped. We use the rise and shine recipe from bhs and I made up my own "stress busters" based upon their recipe, but also add in some licorice root for adrenal support.
Well... this is my plan at any rate, I'm working the next 2 days, and then off for several with no school to do
.... am I actually ever supposed to have a day off??
