My way to happiness

I think I might actually do it this time. For the first time ever in all of my 1000+ ”New Beginnings” I never stuck to it for so long. I don’t want to get to excited to soon as I am still affraid that I will fail again. This site and everybody here made such a big difference in my journey this time. I know if it wasn’t for all you guys here I would’ve given up a long time ago. Not only am I still sticking to the “program” I am actually still really excited about working out, eating healhty…living healthy. Having people around you that are going thru the same struggles you do makes it so much easier. Before I was always alone in it and had nobody who understood where I came from or why I can’t stick to a diet. Even though my husband was always there for me, but he is skinny and doesn’t know anything from being overweight. He couldn’t understand why I failed so many times and not just stuck to it. People here know it, went thru it and still going thru it. People here failed, started over, failed, started over and in the end I know we all will succeed in it. I am so happy right now and I am proud of myself for still going strong!

Thanks to each and every one of you guys! Love you all!

Well, Day 2 (Pre-cleanse day) and I am still hanging in there. It’s not easy but worth it. The program is suppose to clean all the toxin out of your body and a nice side effect is weight loss. Not going to argue with that

 I did it before and lost 11 lbs in 9 days! Gained them back in no time because I went right back to my old eating habits afterwards. This time I am planing on keeping off whatever I am losing. I am nervous about tomorrow and Thursday. I can’t eat anything but some snacks and I remember how hard that was. Also the stuff you have to drink doesn’t taste great either. Trying to stay positive and hoping that I can make it thru the 11 days. I have to take it easier on the cardio because of the low calorie intake during this time though. O well there is plenty more exercising I can do. 

2 days down 9 more to go…..   

Day 3: First cleanse day. Meaning no food but these little snacks that come with the program and a few almonds if you can’t stand it anymore and as if that isn’t enough you have to drink that nasty tasting stuff. On the positive site I was also allowed one snack like one boiled egg or two stalks of celery… if I get to hungry. I had one boiled egg. Took it to work in case I really needed to eat something. I was hovering over that egg like it’s made out of gold. Wanted to make sure it didn’t disappear. I kept it all day thinking that could be my dinner. And it was the best dinner I ever had. Didn’t know that a boiled egg can taste that yummy.

3 Days down and 8 more to go! 

Day 4: Second cleanse day! It’s seem like the second day was easier than the first cleanse day. I guess the body gets used to it. Kept strong and stuck to the plan! I did had some almonds (one of the snacks you are allowed to have if needed). Eating the almonds made a big difference for me. I felt so low on energy, but after eating a few almonds I felt better. Had training today with my trainer. I did some cardio on the treadmill before my training started, but took it easier then I normally do. During training we didn’t do any cardio, but did heavier weights instead. I did had a little more energy than the days before. Guess the body is starting to react to the cleanse and the part where you get energized gets started.  I did step on the scale (just had to to keep me sane) 4 lbs since Monday. Saturday morning is my weigh in. Tomorrow I start having the shakes again twice a day and can have one healthy meal per day. Hopefully the weight stays off and doesn’t come back once I start eating again. Lets see!

4 days down and 7 more to go!

Day 5 - 9: (Shake days) So far so good! It was hard over the weekend to get all the “snacks” in on time. I missed a few, but now that I am back to work I am right back on schedule. I feel great and full of energy. But don’t have a lot of power. I can feel during cardio that the food is not enough for a hard cardio work out so I take it easy until I am finished with the program. Tomorrow and Thursday are the last two days but also these are cleanse days. Meaning no eating but snacks. Not looking forward to it at all. But I can do it.

9 days down and 2 more to go

Day 10-11: (Cleanse days) Oh boy two more cleanse days. I don’t like them. It seem though that the last two days were easier then the first. I ate all my snacks and one boilded egg for dinner. Didn’t feel as hungry as I did the first round of cleanse days.

I made it!!! 

I am so happy that I finished all 11 days. Didn’t loose as much as the last time but that can have lot’s of reasons. For once I started eating healthy and losing weight before I started the program. The last time I used the program as a start for my “diet” so I think I might last a lot of water weight back then. Second, TOM….came just in time for weigh in…as always. Third, I have less to lose in total then I did the last time. All in all I am happy and the cleanse is not really for losing weight but more for c l e a n s e. Losing weight is just a side effect. A good one though Well, now I am back to normal. I can get back to my “normal” life and best of all I can do my workouts again. (Who thougth that I would say something like that )

And just in case somebody is wondering….you will not spend all day on the toilette. It’s not one of those cleanses! The only thing you have to do a lot is pee. You drink a lot of water and that has to come out again
