Detox failure

Negative! I tried to do the one day water detox and failed! I skipped breakfast and my first snack and drank a lot of water, but by lunch time I couldn't take it anymore. I ate a tuna melt from Bagel Emporium by my job and then for diner I made a pork chop in the oven with bar-b-q sauce, steamed green beans and avacado with a drizzle of olive oil. Atleast I kept it healthy. If youcan manage to do the whole day..more power to you. I also tried to do the 3 day fruit and veggie detox and failed. I did good all day at work actually. I had a greek Chobani pineapple yogurt for breakfast, then half of a banana for snack, tomatoes, celery, and carrots for another snack, trail mix for lunch, and a pear for a snack. then, after work i shared a philly cheese steak with my sister and ate an oatmeal pie!!! Disaster! This proves even more that these quick fixes DO NOT work! I am sticking to my eating healthier, dense, nutritional foods and everything else I've been doing. I guess I will just have to wait until I can go and do my seaweed body wrap for detoxing. If you can do it that's great, but I am just sharing that it did not go so well for me.

Crunch Time!

Happy April Fool's Day, hope no one took you for a fool lol. I recognize that I have NOT been bringing my A game and it's time to step it up (especially because I am going to Vegas in 2 weeks!!!). i have a plan for the month and a new Goal for the month. I want to lose 20 lbs. this month. I know it seems impossible, but it's not because I have done it before. View my calendar and plans. Hopefully this works. Let's see. I usually try things and then write about it, but this is an emergency. I am going to do water detox once a week, I am going to do hydrotherapy this weekend, and I am going to workout for at least 30 minutes EVERYDAY. 20 lbs in 30 days is not bad at all. I did involve myself in more activities since I last wrote. I started brooming the house every other day, cleaning the entire house once a week, taking out the garbage (instead of making my brother do it, lol), and taking the stairs at work instead of the elevator. Nothing major just simple additions. I also play the Wii more with my family :) I have not weighed myself, but I will tomorrow. I still have 2 weeks to reach my goal of 220 lbs. I am going to log my weight and measurements every Saturday and keep a log on the right side. I have been working out, but not 2-5 days a week. However, like I said that will change ASAP. I am more anxious than I was last month lol, but I am working on it. I still want to eat when I am sad or upset, but I don't do it. :)  Like I planned I made a detox plan for myself. OK, tough part...I wasn't able to cut out sweets, but I definitely am as of today. I only ate something fried twice since I last wrote and rice only 3 times. I'm not perfect, but I am on track.
