Losing weight helps you look good clothed. Exercise helps you look good naked.
no truer words were ever spoken & my results so far are living proof of such! it's been a week and I'm loving this 30 day detox. of course i haven't kept to it in its entirety: i still eat some bad things from time to time.
- i have no problems eating my fruits in smoothies or by itself.
- i don't really like eating vegetables [especially green ones], so I find it better juiced with a few fruits. that way i get all my veggies without eating them, all at 1 time, all in 1 sitting & quick lol
- a lot of the girls say you may have side effects with the detox, as all the toxins are being purged from your body. i, thankfully, haven't had ANY side effects besides a few little stomach cramps, but that came & went with my period [tmi, sorry lol =].
- a positive correlation with the last observation, my skin is smoother & clearer [not necessarily "glowing"]. i have sensitive skin & my neck broke out weeks before the detox because of wearing a cheap [but pretty!] necklace. it hasn't waivered before, but now it's GONE!
- i've always drank water like it's nothing, but since water is all i can drink with this detox, i really find it no problem. i don't even crave any kind of juices, teas or sodas
- i do my power of 100 exercise [mornings usually] & slim in 6 [evenings usually] 6 days a week and am seeing my legs & thighs getting smaller.
- my stomach is starting to get naturally smaller. especially when i wake up in the morning, it's starting to become flat. i like it =]
- at most, i've lost 5 pounds so far [still fluctuating, though [my fault =/] & i love being surprised every time i look at the scale. i'll be at 120 in no time!
- i'm always hearing people i know ask "have you lost weight?" "you're getting smaller, girl!" and i LOVE it!!!!! =] =]
- i'm starting to fit loosely in some size 11 pants & comfortably in a few of my size 9 pants
• i've started taking nature's alive natural supplement for women [as opposed to a multivitamin] & bee pollen with my food. i'll update about them in about 2 months.
* the foods i see some of my customers eat that i once found appetizing, it's starting to get nasty looking and so are some of them. my sister & brother-in-law included. those are my main motivations to keep at the detox i'm doing & continue doing better afterwards.
* although i know i'm not going to JUST eat raw fruits & veggies, they will become an everyday staple in my diet like they should have been in the first place. veggies will still be taken as juice, even if i eat vegetables that day. water will become one of my only desireable drink of choice.
* it really IS 10% exercise & 90% what you eat. you can do 2356454153742514534 crunches and still not get your desired results if you're stuffing your face with Big Macs every day. quite the opposite, if you eat chicken breasts, a salad, water & an apple, you can bet on losing more weight even withOUT exercise! how about that?
