Well, It has been since October since I have updated. SO much has gone on and truthfully, I had forgotten which blog I wrote on. I am still on my journey and haven't wavered however I havent lost very much. I have lost 7lbs since October which puts me at 257.2, Not alot, but it is still a loss and not a gain. I cant complain at all since if I look at when I started in August I was 292.6, I have lost an average of 6lbs a month. Just slightly over 35lbs since starting. If only I could take it off faster that I feel like I put it on. :(
Kevin and I have decided this year for Lent we wanted to do a complete detox and while it didnt start on Ash Wednesday due to having a stomach flu in the household, We ended up starting today which is Friday since we are now well enough to stick to it and we have gone through a cleanse. Thats right I said it! We didn't wait for a monday, or the first of the month. We started at the end of a week, right before the weekend where everyone normally "treats" themselves to something specail. Well, we are treating ourselves to something special. We are treating ourselves to good health and energy! For our valentine's day gifts to each other we got a series of colonics and infared sauna visits. How romantic right? We have done our detox baths which only made me feel like I had the kill me now flu for about 12 hours complete with shivering while bundled up like eskimos cuz i was frickin ookie-ook in my body. I woke up to have my clothes, blankets and mattress completely soaked with sweat. BUT I am glad I went through that because I had to have been storing a ton of toxins especially since we had just had a stomach bug. Never before had I had a reaction so strong as I have with a detox bath. Here is what I used:
2 cups of fresh ginger juice
1 cup of fresh grapefruit juice
2 cups of epsom salts
1 cup baking soda
1 cup dead sea salts
add and dissolve in HOT as you can stand it water and sit in it for at the very least 20 minutes, when you get out dry off and wrap your self as warm as possible and be prepared to sweat out all the toxins.
No lie, I thought I wasnt going to sweat at all and maybe it didn't work since I wasnt sweating right away, I got out of the tub at 730, was in bed by 830, by 10pm I was chattering my teeth I was so cold and pretty sure I had fever, I was wearing thick fleece pants, sweater, a pullover, my chenille robe, a feather blanket, a heavy mink blanket and wool socks and I could not get warm for anything, my joints hurt, my bones ached, I joggled something loose in my uterus because from not supposed to start aunt flo for another 3 days decided that it was too much to wait and came early and extremely heavy. at 130 I woke up to pee and realized I wasnt shivering anymore although I was still cold. I kept wrapped up and went to bed. I 5am I woke back up to potty again and realized that everything was cold and sopping wet. I ripped off all the bedding, laid down towels and grabbed a new blanket and went back to bed. Woke up at 8am and I felt like a new woman. SOOOO much better :) and even better, I didnt die even though I swore in my head I was going to.
So I am not really going to go into all the colonic details. If you are reading this, you much have a computer, and therefore you have access to google. There you go. Would I do it again. ABSOFREAKINLOUTLY! Feel amazing and have 2 more visits schedualed one for tommorow :)
I dont have my list on me as far as which juices I made today, but to be honest, I only had two even though one was very very large. I will put what I remember and I will go through and edit it tommorow if I missed anything. My first juice of the day came around 10am, we got a late start due to the whole potty training which includes sitting for what feels like endlessly next to boy and his potty.
Morning energy juice
6 Lactino Kale leaves
4 carrots
4 asparagus
2 green apples
2 stalks celery
1 inch nob of ginger
1 lemon
1 baby bok choy
this made about 28-32 inches of juice, Kevin had the same thing and Dax had about 4 ox of this juice mixed with about 4 oz of almond milk and loved it YAY!
The rest of the day was drinking water, then I went to get my colonic and infared sauna treatment. Again, it was indeed awesome. Then went home to pick up hubby and the kids and make a trek to Earth Fare. Picked up some nessesities for our juicing such as 50 flipin pounds of carrots and 10 of pears. Some beets and the rest is gonna have to come from the farmers market. But since we realized we hadnt juiced since Breakfast and all we have had otherwise was water, we wenet ahead and stopped at the juice bar. Kevin had a Zeus Juice, and I had a Zesty Carrot with a shot of ginsing. YUMMY! I think I liked mine more than I liked the Zeus juice. I think Kev would agree.
Zesty carrot
Carrots
green apple
beet
ginger
wheatgrass
(dont remember if it had celery)
then i added ginsing
came home and I am finishing my last 20 oz to have all my gallon of water for the day and I am actually doing much better than expected. There were a few times when I was giving Dax his dinner of turkey and cheese from the deli there where I really wanted a bite. It smelled sooo good. But I just WANTED it, I didn't really have to have it. It is now midnight and we have to be up super early to hit farmers market up in the a.m. before our return colonics, so On that note I bid you all good night and look forward to keeping up with this adventure. I would have written a ton more actually, but it really is super late. Hopefully tommorow I can catch up on everything :) Nite all!
