"GENESIS PURE...they're on to something good"!

"Go-Yin" A Genesis Pure product:

- I have gone thru two bottles in two weeks b/w Don and I. I love Go-Yin. I feel great! Don even commented that I have been showing my smart side a lot more lately..ha ha. It goes with the "clear thinking" that people have felt using Go-Yin. I might have to start wearing my glasses all the time if I am going to be so smart.

I will take the cleanse for the rest of my life if it means I can have dairy. Dairy is just more calories that I have been living without so I won't be going nuts but you have no idea how often you go somewhere and they are offering only a dish covered in cheese or cream this or that and the lactose pills- really don't do the trick for me. Life is WAY safer and better for my gut now.

I messed up today- I already ate breakfast and I forgot to measure and weigh first. So- I will have to lay out my tape measure for tomorrow morning to get a read. I did good yesterday with my eating- I need to look up caloric totals for whole fruit- I ate some strawberries and blueberries yesterday and an apple and have no idea the calories on those- so, I couldn't get my complete calories for yesterday but I think I was close to my 1200/day. Hopefully. I planted a bunch of flowers yesterday- that was my workout- not really a good cardio sorce but my arms and back are sore today. Today I will do 30min. cardio and 30 min. of legs. To stay on my plan I will need to do cardio and weights Sat and just cardio Sunday. I am trying (and have been trying) for a while to work out 6 days a week- adding a day to help carve off the last few pounds. I only weigh 125 but at 5' every little wrinkle of fat shows. Some of you think I am obsessive and I probably am- a little but, it's really important to me to be in my best form so that I can share my experiences of success with my clients. It is easier to tell someone else how to lose weight if you have done it yourself. Well, I'm off to an appointment with the tredmill.....

Grumpy

Woke up today when my daughter tapped my shoulder to tell me she had had a little accident....in our bed!! YUCK! This was at 6am so you can imagine how happy I was to get up and clean up- oh well, accidents happen. it's funny- I was praying yesterday telling God I was feeling kind of useless- that I needed to feel needed....I think he is a joker cuz I was certainly "needed" today. I have done pretty good this week so far. I notice if I drink two shakes a day- I need to include some snacks between to keep me from going nuts and hanging out in front of the pantry. (Again this is due to my need to physically chew something??? Isn't there some Freudian thing with that behavior?) I am trying to do a protein with a carb. Last night I was dying for something sweet...I started to walk to the pantry and stopped- I caught a glimpse of my little sticky that says "what do you want to look like in two weeks?" (I answered that with..."I just want to look better, to see improvements!") I was having a sweet fit so, I just grabbed an orange and ate that instead- then I left the kitchen. I was proud of myself for passing on the cookies. Alex and I picked strawberries at the local berry farm yesterday and I found a recipe for strawberry bread in my grandmother's church cookbook- I can't wait to whip it up and see how it is. Of course- I will eat one slice and WALK AWAY! I also need to make banana nut bread to use up the really ripe banana's so I think I will take a loaf to the neighbors. Especially since he is fixing something for me. Anyway- I'm grumpy because I got up too early but I am feeling on track and I am going to work really hard at not letting my mood go further south- turn that frown upside down right?

a few inches gone, a few gained?

Ok- so last week I did measurements for a starting point. Last week I tried to drink two shakes a day and of course drink my Go-Yin, Fusion & Cleanse- mixing it with OJ does the trick-except today I realized I was adding 110 cal. in 8oz of OJ- so I will use half as much to keep the calories down. I only worked out one day last week-(I have to admit this as a reminder to me of my laziness) most of the week I had one shake for breakfast then I'd alternate on some days having two shakes- otherwise I'd eat a low-cal lunch and then a healthy dinner- chicken or fish or veggie spaghetti w/wheat noodles. Anyway- then the weekend came along and I acted rather stupid- had a couple beers Friday while golfing and then ate chicken quesadilla for dinner(not too bad except I needed salad more) then Sat. we went to an outdoor concert-ate(forgive me) McDonalds twice that day and had a BBQ pork sandwich at the concert-two more beers- all of those rediculous empty calories!!! I was really disappointed in my lack of control- I mean- I could have skipped the cinnamon rolls since I had already had a shake that morning- then I could have ordered a grilled chicken wrap instead of fries, and southern chicken sandwich but I caved- I admit it- I am normal- and not good at passing on the bad stuff. Even with all of that- I took my measurements and didn't have a weight loss but had a little loss on the hips, belly and thighs- some how my arms grew and my calves too??? BACK TO IT- so far this week, I posted little notes to myself around the house "IS IT WORTH IT TO EAT THAT AND RUIN YOUR HARD WORK?", or "WHAT DO YOU WANT TO LOOK LIKE IN TWO WEEKS?" etc. Then I put a sheet on the fridge to chart my calories-a food journal- and lastly I have worked out two days this week- plan to do that 5 days a week. Have had two shakes a day too-breakfast and lunch but I am including my snacks between so I don't binge eat- PB and an apple, 1 egg omlet with cheese, nuts and berries, etc.( not all at once :-0) Hopefully, next week I will have more losses. Today I weighed a pound less too- so maybe the cleansing took care of the McDonalds...ha ha
