Losing and Loving it

I started a 30 day smoothie challenge, today 1/25/10 being day 5, but I think its going to last longer. I dropped 3lbs in a day, by having green smoothies, some chicken/vegetable soup (homemade), a few potatoe chips, and a few ounces of turkey breast. But mostly it was the 64 ounces of greem smoothie juice that I drinked. Delicious.

I bought a new scale that tells the truth. And I'm looking forward to being 135lbs by April. I may loose it sooner, but I'm going to eat clean for life. I love this stuff.

When you juice or drink green smoothies, your appetite is deeply suppressed. That's why I went close to 90 days on a juice fast, mostly green juice. The weight was coming off so fast I got scared and started eating grains and sugar products again, no more.

I've learned that if my weight loss is going fast let it, because it will eventually slow down. Fat disappears and there's nothing left but beautiful muscles.

From doing Insanity for that month, I am able to do over 20 pushups, no knees. Exciting. I did insanity today for close to an hour, not fun, but I just had to do it. At least, I can take a day off. I have to pace myself with a program like this. My knees can't take all the jumping.

What works best for me in weight loss and I'm going to keep doing it, because I want to look and feel great all the time.

People say its easy to take it off, but to maintain its hard. I guess we'll see, but I can't see myself gaining the weight back, too much mental energy used.

Back to 100% Raw Food

I decided to go on a weightloss challenge, which to me won't be much of one, because I love to drink smoothies. I'm always on the go and 30 days will get most of the weight off, plus exercise.

I'm so glad that I'm back smoothing. No eating, so this will be a cinch.

I binged for close to a week and now I'm 175lbs!!. Atkins. By the second day I ate something wrong. oh my. But I look much less, lost inches almost immediatly.

Every time I lose weight I'm going to blog to show how I'm doing.

I know alot of this is water, so most of it will come off fast.

My journey is so up and down. That's how weight loss is. Up and down. You try what works best. Atkins worked at that time and it didn't work this time. I know juicing and smoothing helped alot before. I just have to keep working out. I've been working doubles on my job and exercise helps to curve my appetite.

Once I loose this stomach, there is no turning back. I have to stop being used to it. My husband helps me think this way, because he's comfortable with his belly and tells me that I look great all the time. NOT!!!

I should be blogging in a week or so....good bye.

Half Raw and Difference Fitness

I just completed my 3rd fit test with Insanity

SW- 65
PJ - 40
PK - 96
PJ - 26
GJ - 9
SJ - 12
PU - 22
LP - 22

I achieved progress on half, because of knee pain and not eating right. Yes I cheated. We'll since I have knee pain, I will be going back to low impact cardio to get the rest of my weight down.

And I may not hug the scale as much, because it doesn't tell how I look.

As for my raw food eating, I am down to 50 now, because I'm trying to stay away from fruits and only take in about 50 carbs a day to get the weight off.

Stay tuned...
