So my 10 day cleanse started yesterday.
I plan on just eating fruits and Veggies and drinking at least 90 oz of water a day.
I will add in 2 eggs and a cup of nuts for protein.
I also allow myself to have iced green tea. Not anything added in to make it calorie heavy.
I love iced green tea from Starbucks but I can't justify the $3.00 for a venti price.
So here is what I do if you are interested in a no calorie, tasty, caffeinated beverage:
- I boil 8 cups of water
- Once water is at a boil take off stove top and place tea bags in water
( I use 15 tea bags for 8 cups of water. This makes a stout brew. You can put in fewer tea bags for a less concentrated brew or I like to dilute my glass with half tea and half water.)
- Let bags steep for 15 min.
- Once steeped pour brew into pitcher and let cool
- Once cool refrigerate
Like I said, I usually fill my glass halfway with tea and half with water then I add one Splenda for sweetener. Honey is also a good sweetener option. Just don't go overboard.
I have a plan to lose at least 15 lbs before June 25.
Which means I am going to have to be super strict.
I know a lot of you don't really care about my Trek to 25 so I will spare you from daily posts on my results and meal log.
But if there are any of you interested in seeing that log let me know. Maybe I could post my week results and food and exercise logs on Sunday Afternoons?
Helping me out on my trek are the lovely McCall Wagner who sends me daily emails with a picture of some skinny person on a beach ( If that is not motivation or cause for self loathing I don't know what is!)
(this was the first of the many motivational pictures to come from McCall)
and my Livestrong calorie tracker app. This is such a great app. It cost $1.99 and allows me to create an account with my weight and the goal I am trying to reach. Once I have set my goals it sets up how many calories I can have per day in order to reach my goal. Then it allows me to log everything I eat, you look it up in their database which provides calorie content, and all the exercise I do throughout the day. Also helping me is my scale... oh how I hate it!
So If you are interested in seeing my results, thus keeping me accountable, let me know so that I am not posting to people who dont want to see. And if you need to lose that extra 10 to 15 join me!

Peace,
I'm trying to lost 10 pounds by June 5! I'd love to see your progress so that we can motivate each other. I'm also on day 6 of Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred. You can do it!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteGirl, you can do it! However, I must say, that I don't think you need to lose 15 lbs! So I know this is totally unhealthy, but my doctor just switched my meds ("crazy meds" as ben so lovingly calls them) to prozac...and a friend of mine has been taking it for three weeks and has lost 10lbs! Um, can I get that result too PLEASE!? With my luck it will just make me gain weight.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to hear about how the veggie/fruit diet is going or what your results are. Plus I think it can be motivational to have all your bloggy friends to keep you accountable!
I am also trying to lose some of this extra weight for the summer, so I would LOVE to see posts about your progress :) Good luck!!
ReplyDelete** hold ** you accountable, not "keep"
ReplyDeletei need to drop a good 10 to 15 (to 20) too... and i think posting this kind of stuff helps to keep you accountable (not just you, but you know what i mean)...
ReplyDeleteand, as an additional thought, you SO do not need to lose 15 pounds. but i understand all the same :)
you go girl!!!!! keep us all posted we would love to hear details.results! you can do it!!! ((even though you dont need it!!)) AND I GOT THE BOOK!! thanks thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the Sunday idea about posting! I'd love to hear details about how you are doing and how you are getting it done! Rock on with the weight loss!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying the same thing too and it's rough, but definitely worth it! I'd love to hear about what your eating and your progress! Good luck girl!
ReplyDeleteDo it!!! would love to see your progress, im trying to lose 10 by early summer as well! good luck!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck!! I need to lose 5-10 pounds too so I think I need to put your plan into action as well! Keep us posted on your progress! I would love to see how the eating plan is going.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see your progress. My husband is leaving next Friday for two weeks in Africa so I'm going to start my fruit and veggie cleanse as soon as he leaves. I figure I won't be so tempted if I don't have to watch another person eat my favorite foods. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteGood luck! I can't wait to see how this goes. I'm on a trek too, but unfortunately I've passed milemarker 25. Can't wait to hear more tips/tricks. Have a good week.
