Ok lets try this again. Last week I started another weight lose journey with my friend Kim and some more ladies. We detoxed last week. Kim ate fruits and veggies. I did juicing (well extracting). I bought the NutriBullet by Magic Bullet. So I extracted veggies and fruits. Yes I slipped up a couple of day but over all I did ok.
Today marks the actual start of the challenge. We had to make a meal plan and we have to workout 2 hours a day. The plan is to eat clean. Fresh fruits, veggies and lean protein. No breads and sweets. Eat foods high in fiber. Healthy snacks no more than 200 calories and eat small meals every 2 to 3 hours.
Of course we need to burn off more calories than we take in. Strength training will help us to burn fat quicker. My calorie intake will be 1200 calories and I want to burn at least 1500 calories a day. So my goal is to walk at least 2 days on the walking trail with a friend for an hour and the others days walk at home on the tread mill for an hour. My other hour will be The Firm for 3 days with additional weight training. The other days will be another exercise dvd (I haven't decided which one yet) plus additional weight training and abs. I will do this 6 days a week and rest one day (most likely Saturday).
The NutriBullet.....what can I say. Well I bought the NutriBullet before I did research on it. So after I bought it I started looking up recipes to make on Google and YouTube. I also researched what others thought of it. The NutriBullet has a great review. Every video I saw and every article I read only had good things to say. They said the smoothies were so good and they gave them so much energy. The Nurtibullet blends the concoctions so well, down to a complete liquid. My opinion is the concoctions takes some getting use to. Yes it blends very well down to a complete liquid when water is added correctly. Frozen fruits are great to use for the smoothies because it already has ice in it. You will need to add something frozen because the speed of the blades will make the smoothie warm if nothing icy is in it.
I juiced (extracted) for 4 days. I couldnt take it any more. I actually got used to the smoothies but the fact that I wasnt chewing anything drove me over the edge. And late at night I wanted sweets. And yes I gave in to those wants. The first day I lost 3 pounds and the second day I lost 2 pounds. If I had stuck to my guns and not have succumb to my cravings I probably could have lost at least 12 pounds. My cravings cost me 2 days of weight lose. I didnt even have a lot so that goes to show how sweets are detrimental to weight lose. So my total weight lost for the week is 6 pounds. Not bad huh...could have been better. But I will take it.
Its on you guys I pray this time is a winner. We started on 10-7-13 and we are going until 12-23-13. We end 2 days before my birthday. I need to be under 190. Oh yeah that will be a great birthday present to myself. With that being said...... Happy Losing Losers.
