Ugh. I've got the winter blues, I'd been the last few days PMSings and it's freaking cold as hell. Wasn't in the mood to blog lately, but I will say I have been taking care of myself. Exercising and sticking to my diet and drinking lots of water. "Aunt Flow" arrived yesterday morning with major cramping. So I broke down and had some french fries because I felt it was allowed. However, even with the bloating & the fries, I weighed myself this AM and lost 6 pounds. That HAD to be water weight gained over the holiday binge. No matter what it was, I'm glad it's gone and I'm working to keep it off and continue down the scale to conquer the last 9.
So, my closet friends know that a 1.5 years ago I did the Master Cleanse lemonade (fresh lemons, organic grade B maple syrup & a dash of cayenne pepper) fast. I stayed on it for 4.5 days and lost lots of weight. It's not supposed to be for weight loss, but for cleansing. But I will admit, the weight loss was a bonus. The cleanse kills cravings and last time it killed the craving I had for greasy stuff. To be clear, when I did eat greasy stuff, it was long long after the fast and was and admitted choice and out of stress, not a craving. This time I want to kill the craving I have for starches. When I did the fast last time with a girlfriend, it helped her quit smoking cold turkey.
So I'm going to embark on this fast again beginning next Wednesday with a girlfriend. It's good to do this with a partner to keep each other on track. Day 3 is ROUGH. I remember thinking I could smell egg rolls (my most favorite thing next to fries) on day 3. Mind you, it was That was the grease craving coming to life!
So this week I've been eating light. Not blowing myself with mindless carbs. The truth is though I'm bored to death with my diet, my nutrition. Blah. Nothing tastes good to me. It's just food to me and thats it. My love affair with food has hit a rut.
I worked out at the crib this weekend on my Bowflex TreadClimber. I love that machine and why I only use it every now & then...man, I don't know. It's a really good machine. I paid a lot of money for that freakin machine.
The journey has just begun. I'm just about a week in to a change of my lifestyle and gorgeous body.
Stay focused.
