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!

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.

Why Hello Again.

Why Hello Cheeseburger Lovers, How I've missed you. 

So Vacation was amazing! My sweet step mother was on board with this "crazy health food" as my father would call it! Penelope & I had such an amazing trip, and my sweet husband painted the whole exterior of our house! (from blue to grey) It looks so great now! Thank you babe. 

I can't believe it... I'm so happy to tell you I lost: 1 lbs while I was on vacation!  For a total loss of 27 lbs! Almost to the 30lbs mark people!!! I lost 1 inch off my bust, 1/2 an inch off my waist and 1/2 an inch off my hips! (For a grand total of 2 inches lost this week.) 

I tried to resist all the urges to eat horrible things (I let myself eat more carbs than I normally do, and I did eat some chips, because we were on Vacation!) But I think I did really well.
