Yogi's Detox Tea

I wanted to add that tonight I bought some Detoxifying tea. I'm currently drinking the first cup; hoping this will clean the CRAP out of my body. Snippet from http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/640909/yogi_detox_tea_purifying_never_tasted.html?page=2&cat=5

Before I went to make a cup, I read the back of the bag wrapper: "no harsh
laxatives or diuretics-mild enough to be used every day for up to 30 days."
Perfect! I brewed a cup and waited for it to cool down, then I drank the cup
down. A good hour went by before I had to make a bathroom run. It wasn't bad.
But I had a busy night of frequent bathroom runs after I drank a second cup, so
obviously something was happening.

The next day I brewed another cup, and the bathroom breaks continued. But the day after, all seemed back to normal, and I didn't have to use the bathroom as frequently anymore. I kept drinking it daily until I ran out of bags, which was about a week after the first night. And I noticed some significant changes. My body didn't make as many noises as it had before. I felt lighter in the stomach and my mind seemed clearer. My breathing seemed smoother, and I had more energy at night and stayed up later than usual. I felt like I had a clean slate for the first time in my entire life, and I loved the feeling.

Healthy Choices

Didn't step on the scale this morning--we were running VERY late. Had a lot to do, didn't even get breakfast. By the time 1pm rolled around I still hadn't had anything but an iced coffee. So instead of stopping at a fast food place-we went to the grocery store and I picked out some fresh pineapple and a organic (and fat free) smoothie. C got some organic chips and I ate only 3, go me! :) Just got home and grabbed some carrots instead of junk.

Breakfast: Iced Coffee
Lunch: Pinapples and smoothie
Dinner: Organic Mozzerella and Spinach Ravioli
1 Brownie, 2 oatmeal cookies....Hey! I baked today, gimme a break. lol

Butt and Thigh sculpting tonight.

134

I was very surprised to step on the scale this morning. Although the bedtime exercise was quite exhausting-I'm guessing it burned many calories. ;)

Breakfast: Fiber One Raisin Bran w/ Skim Milk
Lunch: Progresso Lite Veggie Soup w/corn
Dinner: Taco *fricken* salad and chips and salsa from On The Border

I swear, I should have a babysitter with me when I choose to eat. Oh, the good ole days. Eating a whole pizza and still staying a size 0.

*Hey reader(s): Please give me suggestions on food!!--ETA-Thanks V for the suggestions!! C doesn't like fish, so that's out (sadly). The calorie count on the organic chips are still so high. :( I guess I'll just have to give up my chips and salsa addiction. If I can cook chicken with the salsa that would be yummy. And I love raw veggies, so that's good.

136

That number makes me want to vomit. Last year around this time I was down to 125. I had 5 pounds left to lose and that was it. Then I got lazy. I stopped going for a run (it's the South-it get's hot) and I started eating at night again.

I gotta say, fitness is not my thing. It's just not, and I'll never pretend it is. I hate it. For me fitness is rock climbing and hiking. Even biking. Not running and yoga and pilates. I hate that stuff. But with the way our life is right now with 3 kids and 2 under 4-it's hard to go hiking, you know? We'll get there, and I'm hoping soon.

Eating right is hit or miss with me. We have been trying to eat organically again (last year we were around 75% organic-now maybe 1%). But it's just so expensive.

Breakfast: Fiber One Cereal w/Skim
Lunch: 6 Totino's Pizza Rolls

Just the beginning

I've been told that 85% of those that start a weight-loss blog are successful. I've done it once before and had lost around 10 pounds. Let's hope this works....again.

Breakfast: Fiber One Raisin Bran w/skim milk
Lunch: Tortilla Chips w/ Mango Salsa
Dinner: 3 Pieces of Pizza
Lots of water today.

Wow. I really screwed up today. I went to a friends house, so my options were limited. Better luck tomorrow.
