I began my WEIGHT-LOSS WAR ten days ago, and I've only lost four pounds. I cheated yesterday and gained a pound! Arrrgh! That'll teach me to eat a Mexican sope. And chips and salsa. And a piece of cornbread... Sheesh.
I usually have one day where I absolutely lose my self-control and just carb out. Unfortunately for me, that's what my body loves the most. It's more of a love to hate. Or hate to love. Whatever. All I know is I have 50 pounds to lose, and it looks like it's going to be a slow row to hoe.
So here we go. I will limit my dairy and meat, and try, TRY, to cut out carbs altogether. I will allow myself the occasional brown rice, and if I happen to make sweets, I get two bites and the rest will be given away!
As for supplements and the like, here will be my regimen:
--- Oil Pulling - something I recently discovered that helps me wake up and detox. And I received a compliment, after doing
it only four times, that my teeth were whiter and prettier!
--- Acidophilus, the potent stuff. Because everybody needs a healthy colon.
--- A daily dose of powdered greens, including alfalfa and kelp. It looks like pond scum, but it doesn't taste bad, and it's
great for energy and as a raw food source.
--- Kombucha: a fermented drink that contains a great source of probiotics. The more, the better. I make my own at home,
so cost is soooo affordable!
--- A drink of fresh vegetable juices, namely, carrot, celery, green apple or pear, lime and a bit of ginger, because I like
things SPICY! :D
Aside from that, I get vegetables and meat. It's a good thing I'm creative, because that could get pretty boring PRETTY fast.
Ugh. Now I'm bored.
Anywho, the purpose of this page is to document my story. I think it'll keep me motivated. Here goes!
