Hi Everbody!

I've lost a couple more pounds which I'm suprised about. I went away last weekend and I had a couple meals that were definatly not fat flush friendly. I tried my best though!

What I have done is up my excersize (30 minutes of running on a treadmill) three times a week on top of my 15 minutes of rebounding in the am and evening.

I'm having fun being creative with food. I made the mashed cauliflower recipe I found here and ate it with ground turkey mixed with onions, a bit of garlic, egg and spinach..cumin and cayenne to taste. It was pretty good. I put it in my daughters lunch today but just added a bit of salt to taste for her. Fingers crossed she'll eat it.

I'm continuing on Phase 1 a bit longer (this would be my third week) because I realized I was only drinking HALF the cran water I was suppose to be drinking. Duh.

So this week I am drinking the right amount. I feel really good. My closthes that I coudln't put on in the past is starting to fit! yaaay. And I'm starting to see results in the mirror. I don't feel a big belly when I'm sitting at my desk.

thinner fitter healthier sexier

it's all about revealing what's already there.

Hi all. I'm a bit frustrated because my weight hasn't moved in 4 days. I'm trying to keep in mind that I am trying to reach my goal of 125 by the end of May. This is a lifestyle change for the rest of my life and not just a "quick fix". I'm trying to go through my mind of what else I need to do to help move the weight along if any...I haven't had bread since the beginning of the plan. No pasta (argh). I've got salad coming out of my ears. Let the coffee go and all sweets...The only thing I can think of is even more portion control (even though I'm eating way less than I was before) and less fruit. I eat maybe 3 pieces as opposed to the 2 in the Fat Flush regime.

I've been jumping on my rebounder for 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes before I go to bed. I walk for another 15 on the way to work and another 15 back home.

I'm thinking maybe more cardio? I like the food journal because it gives me an idea of the calories. I've been a little over so maybe I have to try harder to be within the confines of the book. I may also stay in Phase 1 an additional week but I don't know if that will help.

I'm travelling this weekend which makes me a bit nervous. I will be in someones home and although they are vegetarians they may have rice or pasta... we'll see how it goes!

I have been praying more as of late (never been very religious although I would designate myself as spiritual) and I keep on being told to "always as God for help" and "ask the angels for help". So this past week I've been doing that. Whenever I'm tempted to eat something I shouldn't I ask the angels for help. "Please help me crave healthy food", "help me choose the right things to eat", "help me get up please so I can excersize!" It seems to help me get through the moments when I get weak.

Thanks for the comments. It really helps. I did end up bringing my lunch. I took a turkey jalapeno burger from a recipe I found here on this website..but just added some more veggies I had diced up in the food processor...mushrooms, red bell pepper and added a dash of cumin and a dash of cayenne. Ok sorely needed salt but it was still tasty. I took fresh spinach for salad with some flaxseed oil mixed with lemon and an apple. I'm getting use to it....the food sans salt and no bread....and eating salad which was really hard for me. At first I felt a bit conspicous pulling out my lunch when 75+ other adults were eating pizza...but I felt so good after and no one seemed to think anything of it.

Kids were great! And I met some nice people. I'm 38 and a single mom and I don't get out at all. So it was nice. I've been living like a hermit the past year but decided I needed to get myself out there a bit. I realized haven't been enthusiastic about going out because I didn't feel comfortable with how I looked which then led to me eating sweets and comfort food because it's how I was starting to "feel good". I had never been an emotional eater ever in my life but I've come to realize that because I was feeling lonely I was eating......and it was showing big time. Something had to be done! I think if I get myself out again (last week took my daughter out to a museum and to a paint your own pottery shop) do fun things and dare I say maybe be able to even find a date...I won't be so co-dependant with food.

So last night as I jumped around on my trampoline I told myself "you're marilyn monroe sexy!" as many times as I could and it made me smile and laugh and at least motivated me to finish my 25 minute goal of jumping up and down. I may not have looked like Marilyn Monroe when I got off the trampoline in my flannel pajamas but I can say I'm starting to feel like her.

Yes we can!
