Phasing Back Into Food
Well, I made my decision this morning. I’m going to phase out of the cleanse/fast starting this afternoon. I’m kind of disappointed, but it’s becoming stressful to stay on the fast, and that will negate much of the good that I have achieved. There’s no point in continuing if I’m going to be miserable for […]
Working Hard Today
I ought to burn a lot of fat today. We’ve been outside raking leaves and bagging them all morning. It’s hard work! We have a lot of leaves, and we’ve already filled six construction bags with leaves, even though we’ve only done about a third of the back yard. I’m surprised that I am doing […]
Gratifiying Results
Today, I saw a couple of people whom I have not seen for quite some time. Both were quite amazed by my appearance, and both demanded to know what I was doing to achieve such dramatic and wonderful results. As I launched into my description, both of them said, “Oh, yeah! My sister/aunt did that […]
Focus on What You Have
So often, while following a diet, I have noticed that I tend to focus narrowly on what I do not have or cannot have, as opposed to what I do and can have. For example, I’m doing this lemonade diet, which means no solid food for the duration, and a very gradual return to solid […]
Lemonade Diet Update
I’m now on day 17, and doing well. Still burning lots of fat, as evidenced by the purple urinalysis strips and the 20 pound weight-loss. Yeah, you read that right. I now weigh 185 instead of 205. That’s a tremendous improvement. I’ve also lost almost two clothing sizes: my 18s are now way to big, […]
15 Pounds Lost in Two Weeks!
Yep, you read that right. I weighed in this morning and I’m down 15 pounds from where I was when I started my new regimen … 9 pounds lost in the 10 days I’ve been on this lemonade diet. Now, I can hear the skeptics saying “Yeah, it’s all water and will come back when […]
Days 5 and 6 of the Lemonade Diet
Day 5, continued: By the time C’s basketball practise was over, I was feeling okay enough to take the kids to Chick-Fil-A for supper. I felt kind of silly sitting there sipping my lemonade, but I resisted the wild urge to snag one of the boys’ nuggets. And when we got home, my head was […]
Step One
Well, due to some scheduling problems with my son’s basketball schedule, my singing schedule, and the Daddy Weekends, I didn’t get to start my “Colon Blow” last night as I had planned. So, since I would have to wait two more weeks if I don’t do it this weekend, I’m doing it tonight. My only worry […]
