The lemonade diet part 2

   Day 5 into the diet/cleanse and whoa its way harder than I thought. This diet takes a lot of motivation, self control , and dedication. Even though I am only half way though I've already been tested to my max. I do have chrons disease so I already knew this is going to be hard n even if I didn't have Crohn's disease this is still going to be hard but I found out how hard it actually could be. I decided to do a light workout one day at the gym. A little bit of walking on the treadmill listing in just a few weights. As soon as I got home I nearly passed out, I was blacking out I was dizzy my breath wasn't in my chest right I was feeling extremely weak and fragile. So I drink a drink and I threw it right back up as well as dry heaves afterwards because there is nothing in my system. I texted my sister because she did this diet right before me so I asked her for her advice. She said that was not good and I should probably ease myself off of this diet. So that night I ate something small it was still healthy not fatty or bad for me in any way but it wasn't the diet food. I feel so much better right after that . For the rest of the night I just kind of took it easy. I got a nice nap in and I was perfectly fine. The next day I decided I wanted to continue the diet so I made a drink I felt so sick to my stomach after drinking it. It was like when you were a kid and you ate something and you got sick from it you were afraid to you did it again because you didn't want to get sick again. That's how I felt, you're supposed to have at least six of those drinks a day. But that day I only had 2. I just couldn't stand the taste or the smell of drinking anymore. But I didn't eat anything that day. The next day I decided to try again,but I only had water, the laxative tea, and mint tea. I realize this is not the point of the diet so today I decided to eat is small plate  of veggies. I decided to quit early because I simply have no desire or want what so ever to even take one sip of the drink anymore. I was making myself more unhealthy then I was healthy. I lost the last time I checked a total of 7.4 pounds in 8 days. Despite everything that happened the last 2 days I feel great. Not tired or sick for lazy like how I do when I eat junk food. But I feel happy energized and cleansed even though I couldn't accomplish all 10 days. I'm so very proud of what I did get through and how much I did accomplish in such little time. If you decide to do this cleanse / diet I would say take your time drinking the drink but not too much time, do not go to the gym and lift weights, and don't think about what you could be eating think about what your going to look like and how you're going to feel!

Clean start

 My sister did a cleanse called the Master Cleanse (AKA The Lemonade Diet) a few days ago and wrote about it in her blog.
When she called me and told my i thought she was absolutely insane! Then i read her blog i googled it and started learning more about it and realized that this is actually really healthy for you! I decided i am going to do it! I start tomorrow January 14th 2014 and the cleanse will be over on January 29th, that is if i make it that far!
Day one is an ''ease in'' and i will be eating nothing but fruits and veggies and water which i don't mind at all!
I have my bottles of water ready meals planned out for the day and i am feeling super excited to start. I am not going to lie or put on a brave face i am very nervous about this, I have chrons disease and if i don't eat what i am supposed to eat i feel very ill and sick and i cant function for the rest of the day.Also i cant eat spices at all and once you get into the full cleanse you put cayenne pepper in the drink.Oh boy this should be fun.
I am really going to try hard to complete the full cycle and stick to what it says to eat and not stray away.
My sister (not to call you out, i love you) didnt finish she got to day 8 and had to have something else and she is the strongest person i know! So that also has be thinking maybe i cant do this, but i want to clean out those nasty toxins and all the nasty that my body doesn't need and start fresh.
Im not going to blog everyday about it but maybe every other day or every 2 days tell you how im doing what im feeling and what im eating...or lack there of :P


MMMM lemons.

ATTACKING ASTHMA #2: The reality

Short post today and no picture because i am feeling really unaccomplished right now.I have this machine that i blow into and i have to get it up to a certain number while maintaining a steady breath.The number for "good/healthy" is 4000, I said oh this is going to be easy. So i blew kept as steady with my breathing as i could looked at the number i got to...1000.. I was honestly devastated i had no clue how it was that far off. Thinking maybe the device messed up so i did it  again watching it carefully this time...1000.5.. so mad at myself that i cant even get it half way up. I kept trying at least 5 times more it got worse every time because i was truly loosing my air at this point, giving up extremely frustrated made me want to just cry. No wonder in mid conversation id have to stop talking and take a few minutes and just breathe. This makes me just want work out on my lungs that much harder i am now more determined then ever to become strong.
