Day 3...

My 3 cute boys!

I thought I would be able to make it to the full 8 days but sadly I wasn't. I came home last night took care of my night chores IE make dinner and put kids to bed clean house etc etc, then I took a nap for a bit and woke up with the worse headache in my life! Seriously THE WORSE!!! I realize it wasn't because my body was wanting caffeine it was because I was so low in sugar and iron, so I decided to end it after 3 days. I went from 177 to 169 so that's 8 pounds I am very happy with that! Next time I do it maybe I can make it to 4 but for now I am happy I was able to do it for 3!

Mmmmm Lemonade

I don't know if I will ever be able to drink Lemonade after this is over. I still enjoy the drink but when you drink 6-8 glasses a day....you tend to get tired of it after 10 days. I am on day 3 and so far still good! I lost another 2 pounds from yesterday, that makes a total of 6 pounds! I realized I won't be able to do the full 10 days because you can't just go to straight foods after your done with it because your stomach hasn't had any solid food in it for so long it takes a few days to get use to food again. We are going up to Newton Dam for Richard's Dad's Birthday and that will be on the 9-11th of July, I know I will need food for energy because we will be doing alot of running around. So I think I will just go to day 8 and then the next few days I will drink broth and then slowly bring food back into my system. Let's just hope I don't gain it all back while we are up there!

Day 1-177

Day 2-173

Day 3-171

Nom Nom Nom

Random Picture of me!

I have never wanted to Chomp on something more than I have in my entire life!!! I am not hungry which I am still shocked about but I want to put something in my mouth and chew. EVERYTHING looks so good to me but I know I am doing this for so many good reasons! Today is day 2 of the diet and it's not as bad as I thought it would be. Yesterday was about the same, the only difference is I got a nasty headache last night and kept me up most of the night...quite awesome I know. My co worker told me to make it to day 5 and I will be good to go, so far it looks like I should be able to make it to day 5 without a problem...we will see how tomorrow goes!

Day 1 177

Day 2 173

"Lemonade Diet"

5 years ago, when I just had 1 child and skinny as a bean pole!

So I am trying to lose my Evan fat with no success AT ALL....I weigh way more than I did this time last year and it drives me about CRAZY! So I looked into alot of different options and I fell upon this. It's not really a "diet" it's a cleanse, called the Master Cleanse. When I first saw it I didn't even think about doing it. But said something to my Mom about it and she said I might want to look into doing it and it would help me out alot. Why? Because Lemon's are a natural cleanser for your Liver and more importantly for me, your Gallbladder. I have had nothing but problems with mine and I don't even have it! I had my Gallbladder removed when Avery was 6 weeks old, they found over 100 plus stones in there! I still have these random attacks (still to this day) and they are BEYOND painful. The pain is worse than childbirth...kid you not, and they have done tests upon tests and they can't figure out why I am having these pains. So I just deal with them as they come. I have some medicine that help instead of taking a HUGE amount of pain killers at the ER. So when I found out that I can do this Cleanse and it has helped others with their problems like mine, I said sign me UP! It's an interesting mixture of ingredients. It's 1 cup of water, 2 Tbs of fresh lemon juice, 1/10 tbs of cayenne pepper and 2 tbs of organic grade B maple syrup, I am only doing 1 tbs of the syrup right now. You drink this mixture for 10 days and nothing else, well except water. So far this morning I have had 2 cups of it and it's not quite noon and I don't feel hungry at ALL! that might change and it might not, but I am going to take it one day at a time. My goal is to make it 10 days, some people do it 14 some do it 10 but my goal is 10. You will lose weight for obvious reasons which is nice as well but the biggest reason was the Gallbladder cleanse! I am going to weigh in each morning and then post how the day before went.

Day 1

Weight: 177 (Yucky I know)

30 Seems So...Old!

So yesterday was my Birthday, I turned the big 3-0. WOW..That is just crazy to me! ME!!?? 30!??! Seems like just yesterday I turned 25 and now look at me?! I had a great day, the only thing I would change would be to spend more time with Richard. He started his new job yesterday (YAY!!!) and he worked from 10 AM to 6:30 PM in West Jordan. They will be having an office in Layton here in the next few weeks but until then he will go to West Jordan. I went to lunch with my Mom and then I got to go to dinner with my "sissy" Stephy and good friends Lisa & Bryan. All in all it was a great day! I would like to thank again, all the sweet Birthday wishes everyone left for me on my Facebook! And my sweet Avery picked some pretty flowers from my Mom's yard...I posted the flowers above.
