Day 10... I shouldn't have done that!!!

So today I decided that since I am starting somewhat of a cleanse tomorrow (I'm just going to eat fruits and veggies and brown rice) that today I was going to endulge in sweets. BIG MISTAKE!!! Now I feel sick... I just hope that I can keep down the waffles that Ben is making for my last big endulgement!!!

Tomorrow is the start of new healthy eating for me. I am hoping to clean out my system. My goal is to eat only fruits, veggies and occasionally brown rice for 1 week... maybe longer depending on how I'm feeling after the week. I have 2 Diet Cokes left and once they are gone I will just be drinking water, Crystal Light, tea and orange juice. That should be easy to do... Diet Coke once again tasted disgusting. :) I am really thinking that after 1 week when I start adding foods back into my diet I will be more willing to choose healthy foods and still eat lots of fruits and veggies. I also hope to be down to 215 if not 210. One step closer to my goal of 200 by January 1st!!!

I went to the gym today and changed it up a bit. I did the treadmill first then did the bike... it really made a difference. I did 30 minutes on they treadmill... jogging off and on for 8 minutes (that is a new best for me) then I did 35 minutes on the bike. I was sweating up a storm and it felt fantastic. I just wish it hadn't been too cold to walk to the gym... that would have made my workout even better.

I officially accomplished all my goals I set last week... I only drank 1 Diet Coke a day. I went to the gym everyday except for Thanksgiving. I worked out on Thanksgiving... pushing myself harder then ever! Up until today when I made the stupid mistake of just eating junk food I have felt really good!!! My mood is up... my energy level is up... I just all around feel better. This is very exciting for me.

My goals for this week are as follows:
1. After Monday cut out all Diet Coke.
2. Drink only water, crystal light and tea.
3. Go to the gym at least 4 times.
4. On days that I don't go to the gym go for a 45 - 60 minute walk or do a workout video from Netflix.
5. Eat only fruits, veggies, and brown rice (except Wednesday when I have a little bit of chicken during our weekly family lunch.)
More goals this week then last but I am confident that I will be able to do them all.

I am feeling so good about my weight loss journey and find that writing this blog really helps hold me accountable. I just hope that you find it as fun to read as fun as I have writing it. I also hope that it might be inspiring to some of you. Thanks for reading!!!

Let the lbs melt!!!
