Day 3 - Feelin' It!

This morning I slept an extra 2 hours and got up at 10:30 am. It's really cold and I wanted to stay snuggled up in my blankets. I also just felt like I needed it. Lost 5 lbs of sugar bloat already.

My wake up exercise was a little shorter than normal at around 15 mins total. Followed by Green Tea and writing. I will be relaxing today but I do plan on getting on the treadmill for 30 mins.

I am going to create a few supplement drinks along with my smoothies today, which is the last day before going to all juice for 5 days. Today is going to be SUPER DETOX DAY!

Day 2 - The cleansing has begun!

Woke up to my cat making a mess which forced me out of bed.
 It knocked its wheat grass pot off the window and I had to clean it up.
I get to enjoy that wheat grass now ....

After the clean up I found myself needing to sit on the toilet,
a regular occurrence after yesterdays green smoothies.
But hey that's what I want, to get that junk food out of me. 

I prepared my green tea with lime then started my Wii Fit routine. 

I decided to mix it up and not do Yoga every day. Wii Fit has some routines that mix in games. 

The key is to not get bored and that's a good way to prevent the boredom.

At 10:30 I relaxed and drank my tea, while writing this blog.

At Noon I created a Detox tonic with Rooibos Chai, Lime, 

Wheat Grass, Maple Syrup, Royal Jelly Honey, Ginger.

At 1 pm I walked for an hour on the treadmill. 2pm was a Green Smoothie.

5pm Wii Tennis followed by another Green Smoothie.

Day 1 - 10 lbs gained over the holiday's!

Woke up this morning 10 lbs heavier than I was before Thanksgiving. 

Now I know most of it is bloat due to sugar and gluten, I figure I gained about 5 lbs of actual weight. 

It freaked me out a little but I know it will be gone soon. Gave myself a few extra hours of sleep in preparation of the diet change and exercise. 

So I got started around 10am with Yoga. A little Wii Tennis. 

Then Earl Grey Green Tea with Lime. Also enjoyed a Rooibos Chai.

Went shopping for produce at 12pm.

At 1pm I had my first smoothie. Banana, Mango, Pineapple 

along with my Super Green Protein Blend which includes,

Pea and Whey proteins, Chia, Wheat and Barley grass, Propolis and Bee Pollen, and more.

At 2 pm I walked 3 mph at a 3 incline for 60 mins.

Took a shower.

6 pm was the 2nd smoothie.

Relaxing evening of TV and gaming.

Day 1 done.

Happy New Year = Fasting and Detox!

So the last 7 days have been a wonderful binge of truly horrible food! A cheat week if you will. I ate almost everything I have eliminated from my diet. Fast food and sweets. Gluten and Sugar. This one time during the year I consumed anything and everything.

Most likely this will be the last year I indulge like this for a full week. I didn't really like it as much as I thought I would. As I ate everything my brain was screaming to stop. And of course the physical effects started. Constipation, acne, cravings and more. So January 1st starts a 21 day detox and fasting program.

The first 11 days will be a Green Smoothie/Juicing fast along with a colon cleanse. 3 days of smoothies followed by 5 days of juicing concluding with another 3 days of smoothies. The next 10 days will consist mostly of raw veggies mixed with smoothies/juice.

Once the 21 day detox is over my diet will involve eating only between 12pm and 6pm. Two days of the week I will limit myself to only 600 calories. Fish, one day a week. Chicken/Pork/Beef, two days a week.

Exercise will include daily Yoga and walking/running. Abs and Strength training alternating. Waking up at 8am and sleeping by 12am. Water and Teas will be used as snacks and a sleep/stress aid. I will be posting my daily progress just in case anyone wants to try this some day.
