So to start the new year. . . we have a new Amber! I have a significant amount of weight to lose (upwards of 50lbs!) and this is the year I am going to do it. I have a wonderful personal trainer/friend, Melody, that is giving me the tools to get my big butt in gear and get some muscles going on. We have been working out for about 3 months and although I haven’t lost a significant amount of weight, I can feel my body changing underneath all my blubber. She also went with me today to do something I NEVER thought I would do; wait for it. . . . . . we both got colonics!!!! Holy Crap, literally. It was such a strange experience but really cleansing and I feel less puffy if that makes sense. Thanks Mel!
I am also an avid fan of BBC America’s show “You Are What You Eat” with Dr. Gillian McKeith. Boy is she a hard ass. I watched 10-12 people on her show lose massive amounts of weight just by changing the way they eat in 8 weeks! I mean it is literally mind-blowing how much weight these people took off in 2 months. I bought her cookbook Slim for Life and it has a very easy to follow plan for 28 days of meal plans. I have already lost 3 lbs since last week and I am only on day 4!
I feel like my life is about to change.
Today i ate:
- apple/banana fruit salad
- fresh squeezed grapefruit juice
- leek soup leftover from last night
- avocado with veggies
- Adzuki bean bake
