Year 3... will it be any better??

My weight is down.  I'm a size 7-8 from a 14 just 2 years ago.  That's the good news.  Bad news?  I didn't do it the healthy way so it'll be hard to keep off.  I fell into my old bad habits of quick weight loss. I'm back to walking now and playing outside with the dog, but I'm hoping it's not too little too late.  I do not want to gain the weight back, as I have done for the past 20 years.  But, I should have thought of that before taking the easy way out... again.

More bad news, my son has been diagnosed with testicular cancer. He had the mass removed, but we
 won't know if it's malignant until after the biopsy.  I'll keep everyone posted.  Pray for the best.

Last day of the cleanse.... Day 10

I'm a little nervous, as today is the last day of the cleanse process of my 24-day challenge.  The reason I am nervous is because starting tomorrow, my system will no longer be flushing itself out.  I am starting Day 11, with pre-meal pills, during meal pills, and still taking the Omega-3's at evening.  I am also still going to be taking the Catalyst.  I have been steadily losing a pound/day and I don't want that to stop.  I plan to increase my exercise even further to make sure that my weight loss stays steady.  I am starting to look a lot better, and I FEEL tremendous!!  The energy level feels like I did when I was in my early 20's, and that is saying a lot, because I am 43!!!  Today's breakfast consisted of melon balls, an apple, and an egg white.  Lunch was a piece of celery with my homemade guacamole on it and 3 tbs. of dried fruit w/pumpkin seeds.  Dinner consisted of 4 oz. of b/s chicken breast and steamed broccoli.  Snack was 18 grapes.  I have also been taking Zzz every night 60 mins. before bedtime and I am consistently getting between 8-10 hours of sleep!  Advocare and Becky are quickly becoming indispensable to me!!!!  On the gardening front, my cucumbers (both the climbers and the bush ones) are starting to pop through the soil, as well as the peas and 2 of my tomato varieties.  I picked my first ripe strawberries today.  Those are part of my breakfast tomorrow!!  Nothing like garden fresh fruit!  Tomorrow's post will include a picture of my rose bush (the pink one has SEVERAL roses on it~gorgeous!)....

Sick lately....

Been sick with flu lately.  Body aches (and not the good kind from exercise, but the bad kind from flu)... Thought I'd check in, but now I'm going back to bed.  Gonna have Jillian Michaels kick this crap out of me tomorrow whether it's gone or not!

Here she is...
