Milestone

Today I made it through my whole HIIT Cardio Class. This has NEVER happened before and I am so happy. I honestly hate this class more than ANYTHING! HIIT is: High Intensity Interval Training. The class is not fun in the least...but I did the whole thing today. Take that BITCHES!

Goals...

My goals are still being met....which is amazing considering the time of the month it is for me. I am not going to go into gory details, let's just say I usually want some chocolate right about now. But I have been so good! And am so happy about it all!

I worked out both days this weekend...yeah!

I had one bad dinner out this weekend of Mexican....yeah!

I ate at home whenever possible this weekend...yeah!

Today is the first day that I have noticed that my clothes fit a little differently...they fit better...Yeah!

I have discovered that I really hate Grape Nuts cereal...and there is no real way to dress that crap up! Yeah!

Back to my weekly routine...but so happy my weekend didn't wreck it!

Whew...that was a close one.

I made it through Thursday and I still worked out and did not go to Nordstrom for fries. Today will be another challenge, but am somoehow feeling a bit more optimistic. Perhaps because it is Friday!

HELP!

I have hit a wall...I don't want to workout and I just want to go to Nordstrom for their French Fries....

Tuesday Recap

I stuck to the plan yesterday and did both a Zumba class and a kickboxing class....so on top of not sleeping well the night before you would have thought I would have slept like a rock...Nope...up at 2AM doing stretches, awake like I had slept for hours...I was able to fall back asleep, but I am just amazed that I wasn't drop dead exhausted yesterday afternoon and evening. What gives?

I think I need Jackie Warner of Thinintervention to come and push me till I drop because perhaps I am just not pushing myself... But if she does come I would really like her personal chef to come as well as the gay guy from the show...he's hilarious and I think we would get along remarkably well....

Jackie can you hear me!?!?!??

No Rest for the Wicked

As I have mentioned, yesterday was my first official day of my cleanse, including drinking an elixir last night that was a "blend to help remove toxins, nourish your body and help you feel your best. Each cleansing shot provides 5 grams of natural fiber...." So I was already for the cleanse drink to cramp me up, but no...nothing happened...except for the fact that I didn't sleep all night waiting for the cleanse to start...how slightly ridiculous is that? Finally at 12:30ish, I took the dogs outside to stretch out and hopefully relax myself.

On top of the cleanse I am slightly obsessed with the national problem of bed bugs. (Just ask my husband) So yesterday I did a full examination of our bed, bedding, etc. I vacuumed our mattress and threw stuff away that I thought had reached it's prime. So I ask you, why then, while trying to fall asleep last night did I feel like bugs were crawling all over me.

Perhaps all this cleansing is making me clinically crazy...just a thought....

First Day of Sorts

Even though today is Monday, it is my first day of sorts with my cleanse. I did eat anything I wanted on Saturday including Chipolte, yum! Sunday the hubby and I ate only really good detoxing stuff....then today...starts my shakes and crap from GNC.

Over the past several days I have done LOTS of research on cleansing which can range from the lemonade drink to how to remove drugs from your system. I ended up landing on a routine from GNC because it Incorporated both drinks and some food, which I thought was probably the least dramatic and most do-able. And if I am being completely honest...it also allows caffeine...which in my case is a D Coke....And if I am giving up sour patch kids, etc....I am going to need something.

So here goes nothing!!!!!

2PM Update: I could only stomach one shake today...but even with that, I am still not hungry. As Edward Cullen put it (yes, I am fully aware that this is a very sad reference for someone of my age) it's mind over matter!
