Day Two Cleansing

OK so today started out fine. 24 hours of no real food or any food at all just a cleansing drink, snack wafers and water until my eyeballs felt like they were floating. I went to the gym and worked out. 45 minutes on the cycle and an hour walking along with some floor work. I was doing all good until about 6pm. Then it hit me, it always hits me at night. The headaches, the body aches, the feeling light headed and drained of all energy, It was almost like the flu. As the night went on it got worse and worse.

My husband, whom I love very much, talked me into getting some real food to combat the symptoms. So I broke down and we ended up at Chili's. Real nutritional right? Well he figured if you're going to fall of the wagon you might as well make it worth while. Of course in this instance we didn't fall of the wagon we jumped from it. As I was eating my Quesadilla Explosion Salad I started to feel like I was getting high. My whole body had odd sensations and the headache was replaced with a rushing feeling. It was awesome but I felt guilty at the same time. What I was doing was wrong. Of course that didn't stop me. I didn't eat the whole salad, I couldn't. I had about half and was done. I knew I would pay for this and sure enough as soon as I got home...I did.

Tomorrow we will get back on that horse and try again. Sorry for the disappointment people but it is easier said then done.

Until tomorrow.....

Isn't this over yet?!

Sometimes I just want to scream! It feels like the last 2 and half years have just taken a crap on me and my family and there seems no end in sight.  Oh let's recap shall we... 2016 was my son's first open heart surgery followed by a plethora of doctor's appointments and other surgeries. I thought it was over by the end of the year and took the advice of Whitney Houston and friends when I exhaled. However, my fun filled days were not over yet and I found myself dumbfounded by the turn of events in my life.  2017 started out fine...well not really. January brought us the bad news that our black Lab Molly Mae had cancer. It was in her bones and basically there was nothing to do but love her.  So, that's what we did. We took her home and loved her. Then, in April we were informed that my son needed to have another open heart surgery because the tissue valve that they put in was not performing the way that they thought that it would and now needed ...

Day 6 Shake Day

This is day six and although there wasn't anything really eventful about the day there are updates to be shared. My husband and I have noticed that we are sleeping better and waking up with fewer aches and pains and issues. Now, we are not sure if that's because of the weight loss or the cleansing that we are going through. Also, I have noticed that while studying for my LSAT I have more focus and ability to analyze better. My exercise stamina is better. I did workout again at the gym but I am winding down. I am only doing 45 minutes on the elliptical and 30 minutes walking. No extra bike ride tonight. All in all, we are getting used to the program and feel that we have benefited from it. We are also going to continue try to reach our respective goal weight. Our next purchase will be the 30 program which we will share. Since it cost $200+ each we are trying save money by just splitting it. I will keep you posted and on Tuesday of next week (August 16th) I will post our 9 day pr...

3 day nail check in

It had been three days since I have removed my nails and coated them with Sally Hansen's Hard as Wraps nail covering. Now the directions say to take off the polish after three days and restart the process all over again with two (2) new coats. When they say that you need to remove the polish after three days and start over, they mean it. Here is what happens on the third day, prompting you to remove the polish. My nails with the initial tear on the polish. The polish starts to lift and tear off. It started with a small uplift on the side of my nails and I pulled off the rest. Surprisingly, the whole thing came off without having to use nail polish remover.The problem with that, though, is that my nails underneath are still very thin and weak.  In this picture the nail is bent. It's a little hard to see it but I am bending my nail. The weak condition of my nails has continued and I see no real change to them . The next picture is of  the top of my nail, showing the te...
