Measurement day. I lost how much in 3 days????

6am sharp...

Let's set the bar here. I have not weighed myself in about 15 years. I think the concept is bogus. Muscle weighs more than fat. Im like a feather in the morning, but give me a cup of coffee and a glimpse at food, add 5 pounds. The end of the day is like another human was added to the scale.

So, I've always gone by the size of my clothes. Which in essence, is a bunch of shenanigans. You know those clothing manufactures do NOT make each pair of jeans, skirt, shirt...whatever, EXACTLY the same year after year. I may be a size 6 in Lucky jeans and a size 10 in Gap. Then 2 years later get a new pair and be a size 2 or a size 12... same make and model.... WHY do they do that?

Anywhooo, I had to weigh myself and take measurements on this new cleanse/life change. Baffling. 15 years ago the scale said 128. I was 30. Now I'm peri-menopausal,45 and a runner. I actually have muscles now. I definitely DO NOT like the scale stuff.

The good news. I am down 2.8 pounds in 3 days. AND my measurements are down, significant in some areas.
Sure! I'll say that again. I LOST 2.8 POUNDS IN 3 DAYS.... gulp! #happydance

Here are my measurements in 3 days:

I feel good, Im not starving. My appetite has gone down, I've slept pretty well.... despite getting up to go to the bathroom 2 times a night... not to mention the umpteen times during the day, from all the water.... ( wish I had a camel hump to store the water) I think that's pretty good right?

Day 4 marks the big cleanse!

I think I just get half of an apple. Its a specific drink, plus water, and several snacks today.  I am mentally gearing up for this...

6am coffee, tiny bit of honey, cream.
2 oz of Ionix supreme and 1 accelerator cap

My first cleanse drink

8am
noon
3pm
dinner time

6 snacks
2 isadelight chocolates
apple


So.... choosing the cleanse while driving 6 hours.... BAD BAD BAD idea. I've never had to pee as much as I did in those 6 grueling hours. I was also thinking about less temptation because I was trapped in the car. WRONG, WRONG, WRONG... WRONG WRONG!!!!!!!!!!

I  go into gas stations and I am NEVER tempted by the snacks, pizza's, drinks, roasting hot dogs, taquitos... NOTHING.... Every stop I made, I wanted to "smash and grab". One gas station I stopped in, not only had those rolly things with the hot dogs, but they had 10 different flavors of the taquitos rolling tooooooooo...... I WANTED THEM ALL!!!! Lick them, crunch them, devour them, like it was the last feast.... I literally had to RUN out of there...
When you are trapped in a car these are the conversations I had with myself....

"I miss hamburgers. I'd like ANY hamburger. I wonder if 5 Guys is still any good: maybe i'll see one on the way.... french fries... i'd like to have a buffet of french fries from every single place I know, that makes french fries. I miss salt. I could really lick a salt stick right now. I can't eat meat, Im a vegetarian! I dont even like red meat! It makes me sick.... but turkey  burger sounds good. Remember the turkey burgers at CHEESEBURGER IN PARADISE? I miss that place.. oooh, remember the rum runners... Remember Bennigans??? The Monte Cristo sandwich ( monta-fon-goooley( my italian version of; dear lord that is sweet heaven))..... Maybe i'll quit being a vegetarian after 11 years..... man... that beer at the ball game was the best ever.. I wonder if I could drink one at the next gas station.... CAKE.....  what I wouldnt do for cake.... and PIZZA... OH DEAR LORD...  one slice.. I could find a Casey's and get a slice of pizza...no one will know....

That was the longest 6 hours I think i've ever had. I ate all my snacks for the day and ate the whole apple, and almost the core....

You know.. once I got out of the car and to my sweet boyfriends house, I had no desire for food. My tummy wasn't really growling and I felt good.
About 10pm, I did go ahead and have a piece of toast... dry... I knew I had to run the next day, just wanted something to sleep on.

So I am sitting here this morning thinking about yesterday. The cleanse day in the car was a bad Idea. The next day, i'll do while I'm working. Better distractions.

You know... I really wasn't all that hungry yesterday... I was just alone with my thoughts.. the most dangerous place to be. The isolated place where we talk ourself into, and out of the wrong things.

Saturday April 23, I can't WAIT for my shakes and planning my meal today. Its like I arrived in paradise!

Ps.... I really feel good!
