RAW CLEANSE Day1 - Day2

D4C,

Good Morning, My friend Candace and I are doing a SIX day RAW CLEANSE! It's a very easy cleanse, that still let's you eat a ton of food. (Thank goodness) You can eat as many fruits, vegetables and raw nuts as you want! (but that's all you can eat) I'm super curious to see what my body does, and how my weight is affected. Sunday was my first day, and I have to say it went pretty good, except I didn't realize Canned Black Beans are not raw! (opps) and I had a headache for most of the morning. (Probably because I didn't have any caffeine!) But other than that I would say day one was a success! 

Some Food Porn Pictures from Day one and the start of Day two: 

It's the start of Day Two, and I think I'm doing much better. Was craving Caffiene this morning, but my body got past it! No headache today, so far... I'm hoping it stay's that way! 

I'm expecting to lose between 5-10 lbs this week! If anyone has any questions about the Raw Food Cleanse, please message me! I'd be happy to chat. I'll be posting my progress and a ton of food pictures this week. ALSO, the nutritionist told me not to work out the first couple of days while my body adjusts and balances. The only work out I think i'll be doing is this:

Check it out it's going to be amazing! Come with me!! 

ALSO, I'll be doing two weigh in's this week. A regular Wednesday Weigh in. (to see my halfway progress) and then also a Saturday Weigh in. Which i'll post about Monday Morning for the full weight loss, raw week wrap up. Thanks for reading about my crazy journey!

Slow Motion Race

D4C,

Calling everyone who knows how to do an AB work out... I need pointers and new exercises! I need to lose a lot more off my waist, then anywhere else now. I would love some tips & tricks. PLEASE!

Embracing the change, I know everyone wishes it would happen faster or there was a magic cure. But the Magic Cure is to make a goal, follow through and work hard. It feels as though this "journey" is a slow motion race to a finish line.

Weigh In Wednesday

Dancing 4 Cheeseburger Friends,

I've done it ladies & gentlemen! I've lost 1.5 lbs this week! I'm the happiest little human. I was so happy when I got on the scale this morning. I've now reached the smallest weight I have been in 5 years! GOALS! Total loss of 32.5 lbs in 12 weeks! I have a secret goal of 40 lbs by October 3, I'm hoping the raw cleanse next week will shred some major pounds for that goal.  That would be 7.5 lbs to lose in 5 weeks! I think that is completely do-able, manageable, and happening!

Here is the Week One Picture & the Week Twelve Picture: 

I've been Instagram obsessed with a group called girlyexercises look them up! It's different people posting mini workouts that take 15-30 minutes that mostly work your bum, legs, abs and arms. I'm going to try a bunch of them next week!

Yoga, Robin & Inches

Cheeseburger Friends,

I've started doing Yoga with Penelope every night before she goes to bed. It's Yoga for kids, but it's a good short little work out. (10-20 minutes) And she loves it! (she does it all!) I find it calms her down before bed too! 

My sweet friend Robin sent me a lovely message today, about a website called www.paleoleap.com  It's a great starting point for anyone who wants to do paleo, interested in paleo or wondering what the heck I keep talking about.  It has some great recipes, trying this one this week: http://paleoleap.com/thai-coconut-soup/   

One more day till Weigh In Wednesday! I'm hoping I've lost 1.5-2lbs. That was my goal this week, less sodium more water friends!! (DID that this week!) Cross your fingers for me! 

Shout out to my girls that are going to work out with me next week RACHEL & MAKENZIE we are going to kill it! 

*Note* Check out my inches, I've lost 1 inch off my waist and 1 inch off my hips this week! -thank you to Carrigan for the cardio workouts this week!

It's TUESDAY People! Don't forget to be Awesome today. Someone said a beautiful quote to me yesterday and I thought i'd share; "Leaders don't force people to follow, they just invite them on a journey." I thought that was such an amazing compliment and quote! LOVING THAT & USING IT!!!! 

My next weigh in is tomorrow morning, and for some reason i'm really nervous about it. I don't feel as though I lost any weight at all this week. (You know how you can just feel it!) I don't this week. (so everyone cross your fingers that I've lost something!) Shout out to my friend Kate, who just started using my fitness pal and has broke her plateau!! (Loving her!) Every time we chat, I feel like we re-motivate each other! YES LADY!

Raw Cleanse & Jumping Jacks

Good Morning Dancing 4 Cheeseburger Readers,

I'm thinking about doing a 7 day RAW Cleanse. Thoughts? 

There is no calorie counting;  just eating as much RAW fruits & vegetables as I want a day (but only  uncooked fruits & vegetables.) Starting Monday August 31st and ending September 6th. I know a few people who they're whole lives have been committed to RAW Eating. Not something i'm interested in doing, but I would love to do a cleanse, and this one seems manageable. If anyone has done this as a cleanse, please contact me and let me know how it went. 

The biggest change I've noticed in my appearance is my face. It's a lot more narrow than I even remember it being. I'm starting to see features that I forgot I had. I really want to see my cheek bones! (I remember having nice cheek bones!) Six more pounds and i'll weigh what I weighed when my husband and I got married.  (WOW!) 

I know weight isn't necessarily the goal in this Journey, health is; but I do feel motivated by dropping numbers. To be honest to everyone and myself I would truly like to lose 35 more pounds. I do realize muscle weigh's more than fat and the numbers may eventually start going back up once I've gotten rid of a lot of fat and start building muscles. So, I do understand that the number on the scale isn't a true refection of fitness. 

Math is not my strong suit but my dance friend Mary-Ann has inspired me to do jumping jacks! 

One Jumping Jack = 1/2 a calorie 

So if I can do 1 000 Jumping Jacks a day = 500 calories burned a day. 

500 calories a day x 7 days =  3500 calories (I'll burn extra a week) 

3500 calories = -1lbs

This math makes a lot of sense. Hopefully this will happen. Starting today!! Thanks Mary-Ann. Does anyone else want to try this theory with me? Join the club - all the cool kids are doing it.

Happy, Hopeful, Energetic, Humble and Fresh

Dancing 4 Cheeseburgers Ladies & Gentlemen,

My husband bought me these pants right after I had Penelope. They fit me for about a month, and then I couldn't wear them! (as they were too small) Well, I not only can wear them, they are a little big in the waist! I'll only be able to wear them for another month or so! Aren't they gorgeous! He has such good taste. (Don't tell him I said that!) 

I feel like i'm starting to look like myself again. Which is such a great feeling! For all of you who have been through this Journey, I know you know how i'm currently feeling; Happy, Hopeful, Energetic, Humble and Fresh! I feel as though I could take on the world. 

Looking for a drop in ZUMBA class in Dartmouth - Any Suggestions?

Cheat Meals and Happy Days

Dancing with Cheeseburger Friends,

So, I had my cheat meal last night! I thought Wednesday night was a great night to have a cheat meal! (a whole week away from my next weigh in) We decided to have Pizza. (I've never craved, overly loved pizza before my health journey but when my husband suggested pizza, I jumped on board.)  I had 1 large piece and 3 garlic fingers. It was yummy yummy yummy! I'm not eating cheese or bread so you can imagine how delicious it tasted. It was a great decision and timing! 

I feel like i'm going to have to have another "major" change in my fitness or diet, to keep getting these results. Any suggestions?

Wednesday Weigh in... (this week deserves a drum roll)

Hello Dancing with Cheeseburger Readers;

I'm so happy to announce I've lost 3lbs this week!!! That's right 3lbs! I think because I sort of gave my body a little break being on vacation last week, that it kicked back up a gear this week and shocked it into loosing more weight. For a Total LOSS of 30lbs. Oh My Lanta! I got super emotional for some reason when I stepped on the scale and saw a 30lbs loss. 

I find the side view has changed a lot, I hate to say I still don't see a huge difference in the front view. But i'm sure that will come with time. The average of my weight loss by week has been 2.7lbs a week. (if you take all the high's and low's and average it out!) I'm on the 11th week of this Journey and I don't think I could happier with the results, and positive lifestyle changes. (My outsides are starting to match my insides!) 

Thanks to Beth for working my arms like a Sargent on Monday. They are still sore! Love the new work out. 

Here are my Wednesday Weigh in Pics: 

Work out Schedule: 

Mon: Arms @Lunch / Dance Workshop @Evening 

Tue: Kettle Bell @Lunch / Choreographing @Evening 

Wed: Hill Sprints @Lunch /  Choreographing @Evening

Thur: Spin @Lunch /  (20min) Zumba & 2 squat songs @Evening

Fri: Circuit Class @Lunch 

Sat: OFF 

Sun: (3km) Run 

I'd love to lose 10 more pounds by October 3rd.... Possible? Not sure but i'm sure going to try. Why October 3rd you ask, One of my best sweetest friends Ruth is getting married! If I succeed, i'll have a weight loss of 40lbs before her wedding! (It's so hard, but i'm not going to buy a dress until the last minute, because I have no idea what size i'm going to be) 

If anyone has some great suggestions, on how to get the weight to come off my stomach, I would love you for life! Send them my way!

Lokai - Love

Good Morning Cheeseburger Lovers,

My philosophy in life has always been to come from a place of love for every aspect of your life. A pretty simple yet complex and often difficult to apply philosophy.  In saying all this my husband and I just bought these bracelets that I feel really embrace this philosophy but in a different sense. They are called Lokai bracelets. Their motto is "sometimes your on top, stay humble. sometimes you've hit a low, stay hopeful." It's a rubber bracelet that has mud from the Black Sea (the lowest point of the earth) and water from Mount Everest (the highest point of the earth) To represent your highs and lows. Beautiful am I right... How could you not purchase one. 

(If you click on the quote it will bring you the website!) 

Tomorrow is Weigh in Wednesday! Lot's of pictures! See you soon.

The Leopard Dress Part 2

Hello Cheeseburger Friends,

I hate to disappoint you but there won't be any update pictures until Wednesday! Although, I did cheat and weigh myself this morning! (but i'm not sharing until Wednesday, keep you in suspense until then!) -I will say, it's a good one!!

I will share a comparison picture of "the leopard dress" pictures. This used to be my favorite dress, it hasn't fit in over a year. The first picture is the first day it "fit" it was still very tight across the mid section and my hips just fit into it. And the second picture is me today, wearing the dress with tons of room in the mid-section, and when you see me from the side you can't see my body (it's a bag dress!) The other part you'll notice is my arms (how tight the sleeves are in the fist picture, and how loose they are in the second picture) The happiest little human right now!

Let's Get er' Done

Happy Friday Cheeseburger Friends,

I'm happy to say, I've missed the gym. The last three days have made me so happy. I guess i'm in the "routine" of working out now! 

My lovely neighbor Crystal reminded me that I should give an update on my incentives! I've lost a total of 27lbs & have recieved the 4 incentives!  

Incentive List: 

5lbs: New Sneakers

0lbs: Fun Work out top

15lbs:  LuLu Lemon Pants

20lbs: Hair done  (July 25, will post pictures) 

25lbs: Shoes (Going to buy this next week end - I'm going to get cute Birkenstock) 

30lbs: Dress (By August 17  - going on vacation) 

35lbs: All new Bras/Underwear (September 7 -Bachelorette Party) 

40lbs: Bathing Suits (By November 9 - Vacation) 

45lbs: Trip to Mexico (By December 24 - Christmas) 

50lbs: Tattoo (Booked for January 22 - A push to get there!) 

60lbs: New Wardrobe (By February 15 - Journey completed 3 weeks early!)  

I've also decided to change my weigh in day! I know you look forward to Mondays, but it's very silly to weigh in Mondays. (I don't work out Saturday/Sunday and I eat my cheat meals on Fridays) So I have realized (with help from my friend Kate) that I should switch up my weigh in day! 

I have also noticed, the healthier I eat; the more I have to eat. Today's Line up & Times: 

Matcha Slushy @8am

MacIntosh Apple @9am, 

1 cup of Baby Carrots @10am, 

Coconut & Mango Water @11am

Ginger Sesame Salad & Sparkling Water @1pm

Sea Salt and Vinegar Popcorn @2pm 

Granny Smith Apple @330pm 

Toss Salad with Guacamole & Chicken @530pm

(plus I drink 8-10 glasses of water a day) 

After speaking with my Thursday afternoon spin teacher, I have truly realized that it is a lifestyle change. (I know, I know) I used to hate when people said that. But food that I used to love, doesn't even taste the same anymore. I find things that I used to enjoy are now to heavy, greasy, or salty. I'm hoping I keep these philosophies on food for life! It's challenging when mainstream eating is not this way, it's very difficult for me to ask in a restaurant for no dairy, no gluten, no carbs! (yeah i'm that girl now) But i'm doing it and it's getting easier; at first I was almost embarrassed to say "no thank you" at a bbq or to ask the waitress which salad didn't have cheese. But i'm noticing that my friends at BBQ's are so sweet and put on a peice of chicken for me or make a salad thinking about me. Or my sweet step mother asking what I wanted for supper. (THANK YOU)

Sorry for the long food rants today.
