Day 24 - 12/19/11 - A.M. Talks About Exercise

I woke up to at least a one pound weight loss, still a loss in my book. I know I gotta drink more fluids today because my urine was so dark, meaning I'm dehydrated. It could explain why I wasn't feeling good last night.

I hope to get the guts to try out my first exercise regimen. I'm not looking for to it actually, but I know I'll get used to it just like I am with this whole lemonade thing. They say 28 days makes it a habit. I'm formulating that it will be part of my lifestyle by the time I'm done with this whole cleansing thing. I really want to feel my best before my son's birthday, February 14. Which also happens to be Valentine's Day. I want to be able to fit into a nice dress by then. I never wear nice things because of how I feel I look in them and the literal size I have to buy, which by the way has the worst looking collection of dresses.

Anywho, here is to my first day of exercise! I'll catch in a P.M. blog about my results.

Day 23 - 12/19/11 - Dehydrated and My Wierd Dream

I went holiday shopping, nightmare for my cleanse/diet! I did bring my lemonade drink in a jug. Let me tell you, it was the heaviest thing I've ever lugged around in my bag. I kept getting nauseous and wanted to gag. Maybe it was because I wasn't drinking enough fluids or I could assume it was the reason why.

I went to bed early because of how sick I felt. I had a dream that night that I messed EVERYTHING up by gorging on food. I didn't care in my dream, I was just happy to eat! I woke up in the middle of that dream thinking that I really did that. To my relief it was just a dream. I really have to look up the meaning of that.

Okay out of curiosity, I looked it up and this is what it said:

To dream of eating: If you are currently dieting in your waking life, then the dream may serve to compensate for the sustenance that you are lacking.

PHEW! To think it was something more tragic...I guess it means I just miss food. And I need to nourish myself, maybe with more fluids? :)

Day 22 - 12/17/11 - Photos (I hate photos)

I want to share my body transformation. I know that it's hard to visualize what my body is going through unless I keep track of myself visually and via tape measurements. I hadn't taken pictures of myself for so long, I really hate to because of my weight. But this is a real journey and it serves as a self-reminder of what my real goals are. So here are my updated pics, I haven't taken any before...sorry about that. Next time I'll wear tighter clothes. I don't own any that fit me yet. Everything is loose because I wear things that hide my body. This is as tight as they get.

Day 22 - 12/17/11 - A.M Post

I've lost another pound. I went to sleep last night early because I felt sick. I don't know why. I'm not sure if I didn't drink enough water or if the water made me feel sick. My brother-in-law bought the house Sparkletts Purified Water. That stuff tastes so gross, there's an awful after taste. I asked my husband  if he could taste what I was tasting and he said he could taste something too. He assumed it was a chlorine taste to purify the water. I could hardly stand the taste, faucet water tasted way better than this stuff!

After going to bed early, I felt way more refreshed today. I noticed that others eating around me is starting to bother me a little bit. I think I miss eating food. Just the action of eating. It became so bad that I sat down while watching t.v. making a chewing movement. I couldn't stop. I think I'm going to have to start chewing some sugar free gum to get rid of that desire. I know I'm not supposed to but I'm feeling the effects of not eating. :(

However, I did notice that my face is very clear. I hardly break out. So I have to assume that my regular diet has something to do with my reoccurring breakouts of acne. It could be the soda or sugars. It could be meat or yeasts. I don't know. I know I'm lactose intolerant. There's so much to figure out.

Day 21 - 12/16/11

Last night I went through my exercise dvd's again and watched a couple of routines to see what can suit my needs. I haven't really exercised for way too many years, so I know I want to take it easy. I get easily winded down, so I definitely can't do cardio just yet.

I picked weight training over cardio for the simple fact that I don't have to run around getting discouraged and out of breath. With weights I can gain lean muscle and still lose weight. I do have to take into account that this might keep my actual weight stagnant, but I should see a big difference at weekly body measurements.

I'm still iffy about which training program.
