Weighty Issues

well Saturday is weigh-in day. i lost 3 more pounds this week, bringing me to a grand total of 17 pounds in three weeks!

how did i do it, you ask? simple.

torture.

ha, but really, my plan is pretty simple. a day looks like this:

2 oz Aloe Vera gel with 2 TBsp of golden flaxseed mixed in 15 minutes before breakfast.

1 cup Spava coffee fortified with guarana and green tea

- 2 eggs and a piece of turkey bacon for breakfast

20 minutes of yoga at least 4 times a week

Yerba Mate tea throughout the day

- fresh veggies, soy burger patty with mushrooms, and 2 oz cottage cheese for lunch

-2% string cheese or a piece of beef jerky for snack

*workout.

2 oz aloe vera juice mixed with 2 TBsp golden flaxseed 15 minutes before dinner

- last night we had fajitas, so i had a salad with chicken fajita meat, salsa, and guacamole. i do everything i can to stop eating at 6:30.

* my workout usually consists of 30 minutes on the elliptical trainer, 30 minutes of weight training and then 30 minutes of more cardio. sometimes i do the crossramp, sometimes i walk/jog. since i haven't had any carbs in weeks, some days my workout can be gruelling...i literally feel like i'm moving through quicksand and when i'm done i feel like i've had my ass kicked. i keep telling myself that those are the really effective workouts where i'm really increasing my fitness level and burning fat at significant rate since there is no surface sugar to burn.

overall, i'm feeling really good. i haven't had a drink in three weeks and i can tell the sugar detox has cleared my mind in major ways.

only 20 more pounds to go!
