Clean 9 detox - Day 8

April 30th

Day 8

Already day 8.

I’m starting to not want clean 9 to end.  I’m nervous for it to end.  I don’t want to go back to my old ways.  

Already, I feel so much smaller and lighter.  2 more full days.

No hunger at all this morning.  It looked like I might run out of shake powder, so I thought I would skip a shake.  Obviously though, some clever folks up at the head office of Forever would have made sure that everything was accurately measured out. I headed off to work having had my Aloe and supplements. I have ordered some more garcinia from Lisa to take away on holiday with me.  That will help.  I really want to get going on the hiking and press ups and the healthy food that the mediteranian brings.

Dropping the children at school, I shot a quick Youtube video and went on my way to work.  My client always offers a brashly brewed coffee. I haven’t seen her for 6 weeks and so she doesn’t know I’ve given up coffee, let alone doing Clean 9.  Instead, she made me delicious, refreshing peppermint tea.  Yum.

Off to the hospital after my lunchtime shake to do a good deed.  The staff all were wishing the day away, hoping to finish soon. This makes me sad.  Fancy feeling like that in a job.  Thing is though, I’m still so passionate about helping people into health through nutrition.  This will never leave me I’m so sure.  It’s sad that people are still suffering with chrons and colitis and having pieces removed from them when really, if they changed their diets they may feel so much better. 

My passion is to help others. To advise and nurture.  And this will never leave me.  Maybe now, I have also found an almost magic formula which I truly believe will help the masses. I can see this becoming a staple in everyone’s fridge in the next few years.  Being honest,  there is nothing better than a healthy, balanced diet.  Boy, do I enjoy my healthy evening meal.  Although I feel we all need a little help from time to time.  We certainly need someone to help us and to lean on.  I want that person to be me!

I’ve been asked today to speak again at my University. This time it’s an industry conference for Sports Science professionals.  What an amazing opportunity! As I am a keen speaker, I have been watching presentations on Youtube from Forever Living success stories.  There are truly some wonderful stories on there!

Looking forward to tonights meal.  Salmon steak, pan fried with olive oil fry light, a bed of spinach, or maybe, yes definitely, a load of salad actually.
Raw spinach,
Lettuce,
Cucumber,
Tomato and the smallest slice of mozzarella.  

Yum!

Little bit of photography to make you smile

I love photos.

They always, always make me smile.  Without fail.

Hardly ever can I resist pulling out a lens to snap away at nature when I'm out walking Harley the Shuhtzu.

Hope you enjoy these snaps.

Clean 9 detox - day 7

April 29th 

Day 7

Upon waking, I didn’t feel the need to eat much.  I felt amazingly light and empty.  With a quiet stomach which was very unusual for me! Couldn’t quite believe it really.  What was this Aloe doing for me?

The lack of sugar and unhealthy, unnatural foods was also responsible of course, yet the idea that on Clean 9 I was loosing so much weight was really quite the ultimate motivator.

Let’s face it, who wants to lose 1/2 a lb per week?  I don’t.  Then again, I don’t want to keep making a massive sacrifice week on week which may seem like a negative way to look at things. To me, making a bigger sacrifice quickly and then just being more careful is a far better way to go.  I’m such a firm believer in the 80/20 rule.

What is the 80/20 rule?

80% of the time you eat healthy, fresh food which you know will benefit your body.  20% of the time you eat food which you know will be seen as  a ‘treat’. This is where your coffee and cake or alcoholic drink comes in.  That’s a great way to live.  Sometimes of course, we all need a little help.  Supplements should ideally not be relied on but we do find we have depleted soil for our vegetables to grow in. You generally know if your body needs help or not.  Don’t you?

I know when I don’t feel right, that’s for sure. 

Yet just now, I’m feeling (and looking) so much better and brighter.  

For me, I have had a bit of an overwhelming surge of a need to sleep.  I think this is because I have slowed down into the Easter break.  Not going into London gives me the chance to calm my brain down from it’s whirring all the time.  Not only did we change the clocks ready for the summertime, but I was shattered by 8.45pm.  I had to goto bed.

The past few weeks I have been waking at 4am.  This means I have been functioning on about 5 hours sleep.   I knew it would catch up with me.  I thought it would be when I was on holiday.  Didn’t think it would be so soon.  I had an amazingly comfortable sleep for an entire 9 hours! Couldn’t quite believe it when I awoke.

Come back for more tomorrow!

Much love

Louise xoxo

Clean 9 detox. Day 6 - weigh in day

April 28th

Day 6

Weight 11.11 1/2

So I lost another pound.  Not quite what I was hoping for but nevertheless, 1 lb in 3 days isn’t a bad loss at all.  I am wondering if I should keep those carbs even lower though.  The odd apple here and there, plus the sweet potato.  I always knew these were the things that didn’t agree with me.

Actually, I hadn’t realised I was due for a weigh in.  

Feeling the love for my scales I decided to measure instead.  It’s crazy really that I am addicted to getting on those scales. I guess it’s fear of re gaining weight.  Terrible way to look at it though as of course we will all naturally gain and lose weight.  So the measurements were really quite outstanding! I will post those at another time as you will find it hard to believe.  The boobs are getting smaller which I’m so glad about.  So many pretty redundant bra’s sit gloomily in my drawer.  Soon, my friends, soon.  

I will do this.  I can do this.  It’s in the bag.  Just watch!

Tonight I’m out on the town.  Happily for my friends I am doing the driving and consuming water.  Exciting eh.  Yes I like the odd glass of spritzer but it’s not a need for me.  I love being out, seeing people, listening to music and all.

This morning sees the welcoming of a brand new carton of Aloe in my fridge.  I finished the last one now.  This is hopefully going to last me until the holiday which is in 6 days time! I can’t quite believe it.  6 days.  I cannot wait! I’m so excited!

Thinking about it…my time of the month is just about starting.  I’m sure when that kicks in it will aid with the weight loss.  Now there’s a cheery thought.  Might sound funny to the men reading but it’s actually a really nice ‘detox’ feeling.

Clean 9 detox day 5

Friday 27th March

Day 5

I’m not even kidding! Oh my goodness!

As I woke this morning I reached down to feel a new body.  Almost shocked into disbelief i rubbed my tummy and it was tighter, firmer, 

My supplementes, my shakes, everyhitng made me smile this morning.  I was annoyingly happy.  Wanted to say good mooring to everyone,  in fact the road sweeper guy said good morning to me.  i’m wearing pink for the first time in ages (always in black) and my mood is definitely lifted! I’m so super happy right now!
