Day 18 - July 29, 2010

Good Morning!

Well, I am leaving on a much need holiday. I will be out of wireless service and cell service for sure until Monday evening.

I have packed some wonderful food and ALL of my product so that I plan on staying on track! We have got some really good outdoor games and I plan on doing ALOT of hiking with my daughter and just general fun! The old me would have sat around the fire eating chips and drinking beer and clamato! Not this trip! This is the new active Candice and it helps that all of my shorts fit me so comfortably. It makes want to be more active!

So have wonderful next four days and I will be anxious to tell you all about the trip and how it went. Even though we will be on our last day there on Monday, I will still be doing my cleanse that day so that Tuesday should reveal some AWESOME results!!

Day 17 - July 28, 2010

Well...I am starting to see and feel some differences. I put on some dress pants for work today and they are loose! I mean loose, through the hips, bum, waist...I really feel it!

I am having a very stressful time right now with some outside issues. Lots on my plate, so to speak. This would normally be a time where eating and eating ALOT would be the priority in order to deal with things. I am not feeling that compulsion. I am really looking forward to getting away. No phones, no work, NO STRESS!!

Going to try and get on the treadmill tonight after I have done all the running around to get ready for the trip. Bust some energy!

PS. I forgot to tell you on cleanse day that I actually went grocery shopping right after work because we were out of fruit and milk and I am pleased to report that even though I was on my cleanse...it did not bother me at all to be in the store!! Definitely way easier the second time around...

Day 15 - July 26, 2010

So today is the second time I have cleansed. So far I can report that I feel much better this time around. Even the taste (yes Barb, you were right!) is better this time as well.

As the day goes on I am just now starting to feel a bit tired. I am hoping that because this is Kaitlyn's first day back at daycare after a week off, that she will be tired too and we can go to bed early!

I am looking forward to stats tomorrow and I promise I will send them out first thing in the morning!

Is the day over yet????!!!!

Day 14 - July 25, 2010

Well happy Sunday! It has been a gorgeous weekend weatherwise and there is certainly a lot going on in the City right now. Capital Ex and Taste of Edmonton. Now in my past these two events would be the perfect excuse to completely not think about what I am doing and just go for it! Then by the end of summer I would wonder how exactly my closet Shrinks my clothes!! lol

Not this year. We are going to partake in the Capital Ex for my daughter's sake but will pack a nice backpack of good choices of snacks. Better for all of us! It can be difficult to go to something like that if you are not prepared. Just the smells can be overwhelming! I am not even going to venture over to Taste of Edmonton. Way too difficult, at least this year so I will avoid it all together.

We are planning a family camping trip leaving this Thursday night and will be gone until Monday. I am not foreseeing this to be too difficult and I am the one doing the grocery shopping and stocking the trailer! Perhaps what could be tough might be the sitting around the campfire and wanting to get into the Smores, but I will restrain myself and have some almonds instead. At least that is the plan. Plan, plan, plan...I am starting to really feel that is the ticket to success with this!!

I may or may not have wireless access when we are gone so you may not hear from me during that time. I will try and if I can, I will let you know how it's going. If not, you will have to wait and find out upon my return!

Tomorrow is cleanse again. I am hoping it will feel a little easier this time. I will let you know.....Looking foward to weighing and measuring on Tuesday morning!

Day 13 - July 24, 2010

Why is it when you embark on something like this, there always seems to be so many challenges that come along? Between feeling like my horomones are raging and the heavy demands right now at work and having a husband that works out of town so the bulk of home and child rearing falls to me, where is the me time suppose to come from?

Now...I'm not trying to sound negative just wanting to speak the truth about what for women, becomes one of our biggest stumbling blocks as far as weightloss. For example, as I sit here and try and write this blog, my Kaitlyn is pulling on my leg for me to find her toy, my husband is home and asking me where is this, where is that, did you take care of this, did you take care of that....oh and by the way, what's for supper??

When are we suppose to have the time and energy to devote to thinking about what we are putting in our mouths let alone have an hour to yourself to exercise?

This I think is one of the toughest things for women and why we get pushed into that corner of having to give up something and let's face it we are women what we usually decide to give up is things and time for ourselves.

I AM REFUSING TO GIVE UP!!! I am sitting listening to my daughter complain, my husband nattering in the background and I am blissfully typing away and refusing to be distracted....this is exactly the time I would be reaching for something fatty to shove in my mouth and instead, I am writing to you.

I wonder if there is any wine in the pantry???!! just kidding....I think i will look for my I-pod instead...

Day 12 - July 23, 2010

Hi,

I am have a good Friday so far. I recovered from yesterday by drinking lots of water and sticking to program. Another thing I did do was have a couple of ounces of the cleanse drink to help clean my body of the impurties that I injested last night. Worked like a charm. Thanks coach!!

Looking forward to the weekend and I think that I am going to cleanse on Sunday instead of Monday so I will have results on Monday. I think I am entering my "time" because I am really, really grouchy and wanting to park my butt in front of the fridge. I am going to try my best to get through and not fall into my old habits of snacking and being lazy. I am going to get my butt on the treadmill and hope that I can work off some of those hormones!

I will keep you posted!
