Ok so having tried everything from ww, slimming world, dukan, south beach, ketgenic, etc... and dieted most of the 27 years of my life ive decided enough is enough and its time to get down to a weight im happy with and be able to enjoy food instead of having the love hate relationship I currently have with it.
So heres the plan, now for me I need to see quick results at first to give me the motivation to continue and juicing is definately the best for this so im going to do a 7 day juice fast followed by a 10 day detox (juice for breakfast, soup for lunch and a healthy tea with nuts and veg sticks with dip for snacks) and on the way I will record my weight change each day and my measurements weekly, id also do progress pics if I could but I dont have a mirror that allows me to take a full length photo.
Now my current weight is 10 stone 9 pounds, which for my height (5ft 8) is within the healthy bmi, but as all will know just because your in your healthy bmi, doesnt mean your happy with your body, so my goal is to get to 9st 4 lbs. Some may think this is too low for someone my height but ive been at 9st 4lbs before, and to me this was when I was happy with my figure and still within my healthy bmi (very important).
Ive tried juicing twice before, having watched 'fat, sick and nearly dead' and been inspired to buy a juicer (sage - £199 john lewis, I believe argos do a good cheap juicer tho) on both occasions I lasted a week losing around 8 pounds each time, and during the juicing I felt amazing but as with anything else I didnt stick to healthy eating afterwards and I gained all the weight back, but this time is different!!!
I woke up this morning and told myself it would be the last morning I weight 10 stone 9lbs!
Now I invite anyone that wishes to join me, and I promise to do all I can to motivate you too :)
Day 1
I woke up this morning to have a lemon with hot water (great for cleansing the system and filling u up a bit), followed by a juice made from:
3 apples, 2 carrots, 1/4 cucumber, a stalk of broccoli and a handful of spinach then blend with 1 avocado and ice......yummy!
this will no doubt keep me going till about 2, if your in work and want to do this I recommend getting a nakd juice from tesco, sainsburys, waitrose, it saves having to faff about with making a juice to take to work.
ill let you know how im getting on this evening but any questions please ask.
