Lost Sight of Goal (Day 2 on Cleanse)
Okay, I have to share this … yesterday as I was getting ready to head to the play, I tried on a dress I’d bought back in May. It was May 17th to be exact. It looked so good on me the day I tried it on… yesterday was a different story… the dress felt a little too snug around the middle and back. I was like…. ‘nooooo’, this can’t be happening. I did not wear it for the fear I’d pop a button or two while I was on the road. I realized I’d put on some poundage lately so I decided I was going to check the scale in the morning and see exactly what was going on. I also told my hubby that it was time for me to focus on trimming down abit. There are some other clothes I bought, some for a wedding later this year that I don’t even want to try on for the fear I won’t fit into them any longer! Ha-ha.
Can I say I almost fainted when I stepped on that thing this morning? I literally got off and back on it 3 separate times just to ensure the reading was correct. I am sooo way off my ideal weight that it is ridiculous. So, I vowed to myself it is time and I repeat time, to get back on track. I focused on enjoying myself for some time, and now it’s time to focus on getting myself back to where I feel good.
So, I can actually say this cleanse I’m doing came at a right time. With that and my new found focus, it should not be that difficult to get back to my goal weight of 145 lbs. As of this morning, I have 12 lbs to lose. Mind you, there is quite a bit of water retention due to the way I’ve been eating lately so with a clean day or two under my belt I’ll have a better idea of what I truly need to lose. I’ll weigh in again on Wednesday or Thursday as that will give my 2-3 days of clean eating and good gym time. I’m figuring it’s more in the vicinity of 7-10 lbs of bodyfat to lose. Using my teachings from ‘Muscle’, I should be able to get there in no time. As for the Cleanse, I’m feeling some of the symptoms that the Nutrionist said I’d feel. My head is slightly heavy. Not a headache yet, but a very slight achy feeling. I also feel somewhat lethargic this morning. I eat hardly any junky food, so I’m not feeling any belly aches which is a great thing!! Apparently he says that the more junk you eat, whether you are a smoker or consume alcohol fairly regular, the more symptoms you’ll experience as you work your way through the cleanse. So, I’m back on a journey and will continue to share as I work my way through it. My goal is to reach 140-145 lbs in a healthy and controlled manner. So, today marks day one of hitting that goal … Official start is 157 lbs …. Target weight is 145 lbs. Ready, set …. Goooooooo!!!! Ha-ha Have a great day, and see you back here tomorrow.
Cheers, Nke
