I did write in January or February about my goals for 2015, and one of them which has been a goal of mine since I was about 15 is to lose weight and tone up, I haven't been doing it because I haven't had the motivation or anything so I have gained over 1 and a half stone, which for me is a horrible thing, I couldn't look at myself in the mirror and I dreaded going out at the weekend because of how 'fat' I was.
Anyway, recently a lovely lady added me on facebook, and at first I was a bit taken back as it was for slimming and stuff like that, I read her posts and looked at her before and after pictures and was so inspired I decided to message her, Lisa then went on to explain that its Juice Plus and all the benefits it has for me, so I thought, sod it, I'm going to go for it.
I placed my order and started to make a change to my life style;
For the first week we have to detox, and oh my god was that difficult, I used to eat crap food all day everyday, so to go from that to 3 clean meals a day with fruit was so difficult and I even had temper tantrums at some points, I even had a dream about Pizza, and wanted pizza so much that I went in a mood for the rest of the day. Other than that I got into a routine of getting up at about 8:30/9:00am to have breakfast (fruit/yoghurt) then eat nothing till lunch which would be fruit with maybe a bit of ham from the deli counter at Tesco.
The biggest thing I struggled with throughout the week was cooking dinners, you see all these fad diets and just see plain chicken and rice and I COULD NOT do that, nothing more upsets me than plain food, so I've been asking my Dad to teach me how to cook properly, chicken and tomato sauce made from scratch, or chicken and chickpeas in organic gravey ect ect.
ANYWAY, even though its been a tough week of detoxing and my shakes finally arrived (which I've had to drink with rice milk) I am so happy with what I have lost...
Nearly 8lbs in one week and 1 inch from my hips and half an inch from my waist.
Ive decided Im going to document my journey, either for me to be like a form of diary entry to look back on or to give anyone else motivation. Im feeling happier, and my confidence is through the roof at the moment. And its only been a week!
