Three days ago I set a goal to lose 28 lbs! I chose to do a three day detox to lose water weight and cleans my body of sugars and salts. I have done this before, several times!, but this time I applied what I have learned so far through Thin Within. You don't eat just because it's 'time' to eat....breakfast, lunch, dinner. You eat ONLY when you are hungry, physically hungry. After those three day of detox I have lost 6.5 lbs which brings my goal weight loss down to 21.5 lbs! Woo hoo! I'm pretty excited! I forgot to mention in my first post that before the holidays I had managed to lose 20 lbs...gained about 5 back during the holidays!
Day 1: Woke up around 8 and got both my girls up, around and fed. Decided to venture out of the house today...could feel a bit of cabin fever setting in for all of us. My littlest little was VERY fussy....cried for most of the first 2 hours she was awake. Mind you, she has not been feeling well~ running a fever off an on for the last several days. BOO! We headed out to the grocery store, surprised at just how bad the roads still are! We got down our driveway just fine, but it took about 10 attempts getting back in with the driveway still 3/4 ice! *UGH* The venture out did us good though. While at the grocery store I started to feel a bit off....getting slightly dizzy every now and then. So we packed it in and headed home!
I needed to eat! I knew that the dizziness was a sign of me being hungry. I think it's going to take a little while to decide 'when' it's time to eat before my body starts giving me those little signs. Having said that I'm not sure if I'm suppose to know that? Am I suppose to wait for those little signs to eat??? hmmmmm.....
Anyways, it was around 12:00 before I actually had my 'breakfast'. 1/2 cup of oatmeal cooked in 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup milk with 1/4 cup fresh blueberries! YUM! Amazing just how good food tastes when you get all the junk out of your system!!
'Lunch' was around 3:45.....1/2 cup of cottage cheese. So far both meals were surprisingly satisfying and I didn't need to eat anything else. I am also drinking a TON of water....and by that I mean roughly 98 oz a day....that is not including my coffee intake of about 4, 8oz cups a day. I know, I know...but I HAVE to have my caffeine! :) Not only that, the last 3 days it's helped to keep me warm! HA!
'Dinner' I actually ate pizza! Red Barron to be exact! I only had 2 1/2 slices....when I was done and the food had settled a bit I told myself I could have done without the extra 1/2 slice...maybe even a full slice! No matter...still figuring it out! lol
I never mentioned the why I picked released for the title of my blog! Well, the author says that she doesn't like to call it 'losing weight' simply because when people lose something the tend to want to find it again....makes sense right? So, she calls it released! AWESOME! ....and I stole it for the title! :) Then I did a google search for a new blog background and just happened to stumble across this! I initially thought....'His eye is on the sparrow'....and while that is true it fits the name of the blog PERFECTLY! Coincidence? NNnaaahhhh!
One last thing! While reading my Bible last night I came across this passage that really hit home to me. Thought I'd share!
Ephesians 4:1-7
(1)As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. (2) Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. (3) Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bold of peace. (4) There is one body and one Spirit- just as you were called to one hope when you were called- (5) one Lord, one faith, one baptism; (6) one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. (7) But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it.
