yeah i didn't exercise today but i felt a bit on an urge to when i woke up early this morning. i might go for a run tomoow morning if i wake up early enough considering how strong i feel. wow that's awesome kotki you lost 7 lbs! how long were you on the cleanse for? i kind of want to try to master cleanse but i'm afraid of my teeth rotting..

second day on the apple fast: today was easier. i don't even feel weak at all, i feel normal/good and a little on the lighter side which is a good feeling :-) i ate 5 1/2 apples yesterday and 4 so far today. i also started both days with warm lemon honey water for a little extra cleanse and i'm not hungry at all, my appetite even seems reduced w/ less cravings.

3rd day on apple cleanse: i feel good and light! i stepped on the scale this morning and i had lost over 5 lbs since the beginning of the cleanse. It's probably just the water weight but i have been drinking a lot of water. I also started my day with warm lemon water then warm honey water and I'll finish my day with a few teaspoons ev olive oil. The last two days i ate 5 1/2 apples each day so i will probably end up doing the same for today. tomorow i think i'm just going to eat fruits and vegetables so i can ease back into my normal meals..I also graduate exactly one month from today!! ah so very exciting and nerveracking at the same time.

Thats a really good plan to ease you body back to normal eating again you dont want to shock it! your doing really great with this well done you! Good luck with all the stuff you need to do for your graduation

ah thank youuu but i JUST cheated. i didn't finish my cleanse through the whole day and ended eating veggies cooked in oil with avocado & a bunch of raisins. there is also a cookie that is completely eyeing me in the kitchen..ah. i usually let myself eat more or something good on fridays.

i also went to nordstroms today and was trying on clothes, but i just left with nothing and feeling really bad about myself. those mirrors are horrible. i only like myself from the front angle all the rest looked way worse than i thought i looked. it was really depressing. note to self: don't go in nordstroms dressing rooms. the truth hurts.

okay so i jut had a friday night binge, wasn't feeling very good about myself today...and it was my friends bday

2 large cookies
i made 3/4 potato worth of homemade chips with ketchup
lots of trailmix(m&m's peanuts, raisins, almonds)
1 1/2 pieces whole wheat toast with butter
a couple mini ginger cookies
small piece of cake

this was ontop of all the other food i ate earlier. but it's friday so i'm trying not to stress it. tomorow is going to be a good day. gah.

rough day

morning:
few pieces of watermelon
2 1/2 pieces whole grain toast with butter
2 persian cookies
a couple almonds
small serving of sorbet

afternoon:
veggies cooked in grapeseed oil with avo
watermelon

dinner:
tomato avo salad
1 serving white rice
bbq'd veggies

dessert:

ugh. fridays and saturdays are usually my worse days. tomorow is a new day and i'm working hard to be optimistic!

Always remember after a binge that tomorrow is a new day and you will get back on track tomorrow! i hope that all will go well for you tomorrow

lunch: (if you can consider it a meal) small handful of dried cranberries, green tea

snacks + din: NOT SURE YET. tonight is my friends surprise bday party so i'm hopeing there will be something on the healthy side to eat and i won't get carried away with the batches of cookies bashing around

edit: snacks/din: few slices of cheese with maybe 5 crackers, few slices of watermelon, few slices of cantelope, 1 baby pitas with hummus, brownie cake with mocha frosting (best cake EVER. seriously.), 3 milano cookies.

so i did get slightly carried away at the party ^.^ but i saved up calories by hardly eating earlier..so i hope that evens out.

have fun at the party tonight Iam so jealous iam stuck in tonight lol "had to wash my hair" Lol

aw thank you it was uber fun..i use that same excuse too! except mine is usually "don't want to put on makeup." hehe

today has been a good start:

exercise: morning jog. with walking probably about 2 miles. lots of walking around town, gotta burn off that cake from last night!!!

breakfast: warm lemon water w/ honey, green aloe vera juice blend, green tea, small cup of OJ to take my vitamins with. 1 egg white w/ veggies. 1/2 grapefruit, small handful of almonds, harlf a cliff bar.

lunch: black bean veggie stew w/ brown rice, small handful of cashews, green tea

snack: handful of dried cranberries

din: bowl of black bean veggie stew w/ freshmade tomato cucumber salad, 1 cliff bar, 1 tigers milk bar, like 10 pieces of dried mango

so i got a little carried away w/ dinner but i was soo exhausted from all the exercise i did today, i got in so much wlaking it was ridiculous, so i don't feel AS bad about my ginourmous din

goals for tomorow: try and count cal's.

Thats good that you enjoyed yourself
yeah actually my real reason for not going out is that i have no moola lol! i need to get another job

ahh me too especially tha summers almost here! gah.

today: weight: 145. down a couple lbs in the last few weeks yay!! i really want to lose at least 5 more before graduation (friday the 13th of june..ironic, i know) but i would preferably be down 10! either way i'll be satisfied.

exercise: none yet.

breakfast: green puree juice, warmlemon honey water, green tea, stir fry veggies (asparagus, brocolli, red pepper, squash, mushroom, onion, green string beans topped with tomato, cucumber and flax seed).. so nutritious :-)

lunch: 1 cup watermelon

snack: handful of almonds, green tea, big handful of dried cranberries

dinner: (it was large) sauteed veggies, salad w/ garbanzo beans, edaname, + yams. 1 cup potato salad. 3/4 piece of toast w/ butter

dessert: 2 large cups of rice pudding made w/ almond milk, 1 date.



okay so today was not bad but it wasn't good either, i should have cut out the toast and rice puding or potato salad. i'm feeling a little uncomfortable. goal for tomorow: go for a run!!!

Hi and welcome

You look like your doing all the right things It's def a goood idea to halt the exercise while ur detoxing as you could really injure yourself Im thinking of detoxing at the beginning of next month so let me know how it goes!
