Realization

I need to do this right. I was using the master cleanse for ALL the wrong reasons. So there's no way I could have completed it at this point in my journey. I realized for once though, that I need to do this the right way for once. So I'm doing it.

I was 190.2lbs this morning. So that will be my starting weight. And I am going to be reasonable with myself for pretty much the first time ever. I need to be. I need to do this right, and I need to change my life. So here goes nothing.

SW - 190.2
GW - 145

I decided to make my goal weight 145 for now, because that will be me in the healthy range for my BMI. I will adjust it from there based on how I feel. And I'm going to reward myself in 10% incriments of my weight loss. I haven't extablished how I will reward myself yet, but I will find a way... maybe a mani/pedi... facial... movie night... we'll see! :) So every 4.5lbs is 10% of the way to my weightloss goal.

10% - 185.7lbs
20% - 181.2lbs
30% - 176.7lbs
40% - 172.2lbs
50% - 167.7lbs
60% - 163.2lbs
70% - 158.7lbs
80% - 154.2lbs
90% - 149.7lbs
100% - 145lbs!!

So it won't be so bad!! I can definitely do this. I have started a new account on spark people, BECOMINBARBIE, so add me if you'd like! I could use as much support as I can get. I'm going to be tracking my calories. And sticking to the spark people exercise plan.

Okay well, I'm sleepy... the Tylenol Cold medicine is kicking in. Night night!

Weigh-In

189.4 this morning! I know that it's mostly water weight right now. But it's still nice to be out of the 190's. My realy goal though, is to be under 180's! I haven't seen the 170's in awhile and would like to take a visit on the way through to the 160's! lol.

Today hasnt been good so far though, I woke up later, and then got busy with the kids... so I havent had anything yet. I'm just waiting for my tea to steep. My one ear is completely plugged up, and I have a headache forming... boo :(

Oh well... yay for detox! lol.

I'll write more later!

Day 1 of 40

Well I made it through day one, with only one moment where I felt weak, but I overcame it. It's such a rush to overcome weakness... it just makes me want to keep pushing on. I still feel yucky from this cold... but it's all good.

My starting weight for the cleanse was 195.4lbs

I'll be weighing myself in every morning to track my progress. And I'll note any symptoms or feelings I have.

All over the Map

So I woke up today, feeling just good enough to start. And I think I need to start today to give me extra help fighting off this stupid cold. Plus Dan is back today, so I'll have a little more me time.

I'm ready for this. I can do this. I am strong, and have a strong will. I can last 40 days. I will feel SO healthy when I'm done, and every day my body will become more and more pure and clean.

I don't think I mentioned, this is my transition into a strict Vegan diet. I've been a vegetarian now for 6 months... and I'm ready to make this change. In 40 days, my body should be clean and clear of all addictions to food, and sugars. Cheese is my major weakness that I need to overcome... I was eating a Vegan diet for a month and a half, and cheese did me in.

So here's to a new me. A new stronger, healthier, me.

Putting it off a few Days

So my cleanse isn't going to start probably until Thursday. I am so sick right now. I have a severe head cold, and spent last night getting sick. And today the coughing started. Usually I'd just start it, because it will help clear up the cold, but Im watching my friends kids right now, and the detox, plus the cold, plus the kids, will be WAY too much to handle. So I'm just pro-longing it a few days.

I hope everyone else is doing great on their weightloss journeys.

Quick Update

I actually decided to start my cleanse tomorrow for a personal reason, so it'll run from tomorrow until April 24th. :)

Master Cleanse: Day 1

I've started my second Master Cleanse today. Im going to try to go for 40 days, but I'm also going to judge it on how my body is feeling. I may stop sooner, but my goal is 40 days. That would mean my last day would be on April 23rd.

So far I'm feeling okay. I've got a cold, so hopefully I can kick my cold in the first few days.

If anyone needs any information about the master cleanse, or has any questions let me know. :)
