I am on Day 18 of my nutritional cleanse program.  Day 18 is the next day of taking measuring inches and weight loss.

I an so happy to report that I have lost 12 LBS and 11 inches so far…. and I still have 12 full days to go.

It is phenomenal!

After I had my first son, I exercised and got down to a certain weight and plateaued and no matter what I did, it didn’t budge.  I had 3 children since then, a daughter who is now 9 and 5 year old twin years.

With this program, I just broke my plateau by a few pounds and I am so happy. I haven’t been this weight since before I had children. (over 12 years)

My sleep is fabulous, I am so energized, I have more clarity and things are all around AWESOME!

Yay!

 

 

I am on day 15 of a 30 day nutritional cleanse program. I feel phenomenal.  I have lost 9.5 lbs and 11 inches so far. I sleep better than I have before. I am starting to notice visible results with the weight loss.  I am less stressed about things, and finding the time to fit everything in.

I am getting happy and healthy and wish I had have discovered this program sooner.

Just my two cents update. 🙂

For those of you who know me, you know I have recently started a nutritional cleanse. And if you don’t know and read about this, it is even better!

I have never done a nutritional cleanse before. I had always wanted to try but had always had been very skeptical. And, with so many on the market, it was incredibly hard to know where to go or where to look.

I met a wonderful woman on Facebook who was in another group with me. We began talking and I learned about how she helps people improve their health. I learned about the cleanse, did my research and with nothing negative out there, I decided to take the chance.

There was a 30 day bikini challenge and I thought “hell, I haven’t worn a bikini since I was in high school, but…. let’s GO for it”!  There is a group who motivates you every day throughout the month and it is very inspiring.

 

Day 1- Monday, April 1st. (and no, it isn’t an April fool’s gag)

I woke up and  made myself a chocolate shake. The taste was an off sweet chocolate but I liked it and it was very filling.   I had another chocolate shake for lunch.

After lunch time, I had an incredible amount of energy and did 100 jumping jacks, 50 squats, 50 jump squats and 30 minutes walking on my treadmill.

Imagine that I still had energy after this, I know it is a big surprise, but I stopped there. Being day 1, I did not want to over due it.

I had a 400-700 calorie dinner, which was easy enough to do.

I finished off my day. The shakes I had were filling and they were chocolate. Very tasty and the cleanse product was incredibly easy to use.  It was a very easy program to follow.

Day 2- Tuesday, April 2

Day 2 was very easy. After doing day 1, I remembered what needed to be done in preparing my shakes and snacks and it was a breeze. I felt very good.

My sleep on Monday night was very restful and was easy to get out of bed on Tuesday morning.

I feel so awesome that it encourages me to exercise and go out and make the day that much better!

I love the energy that it gives me (more so than normal) and I am very happy and positive.

Day 3- Wednesday, April 3

Today is the first cleanse day. The past 2 days were shake days.

I started the day off with a drink that helps the body cope with stress, a cleanse drink, a chocolate wafer snack and my herbal tea and mmm chocolate.  I drank approximately 5 3/4 glasses of water within this time frame.

Water is your best friend on a cleanse day.

I expected the cleanse drink to be disgusting but I was happily surprised when it tasted good. It was very easy to drink and with only 4 OZ at a time, it was very easy.

 

 

I have MORE energy. I am MOTIVATED. I am HAPPY.

Again, I am only on Day 3 of this program but I feel awesome up until this point.

I look forward to what the next 30 days will bring!

My son is 12 years old. TODAY.  He is now known as a “tween and next year, a teenager! Ahhh, where did the time go?

 

My son is a pretty cool kid so I thought I would list my top 5 reasons he is awesome.

 

1. He is very giving and has a sweet soul.

2. He has an excellent sense of humour and is known to make family laugh often.

3. He is very sweet and can do whatever he sets his mind to. He has smarts like his father

4. He is already very technologically savvy and teaches me new things all the time.

and

5. He is beautiful inside and out.

I learned the very hard way yesterday not to have my cup of coffee sitting beside me as I type on my laptop.

I usually sit my coffee there every day and have had the occasional spill but yesterday, it was a whole lot WORSE!

My cup of Tim Horton’s coffee fell over into my keyboard. I acted fast with paper towels and tried to sponge up as much coffee as I could.

Although the computer didn’t seem too hard done by at the time, I talked to my sister who instructed me to shut it down, followed by tilting it over. And to take the battery out.

My husband is away travelling this week so I messaged him as he is my go-to technical guy.  Everything that my sister had already told me was the same.  I also blow dried it a few times too.

He also told me to keep it unplugged for at least a full 24 hours in order for it to dry.

This morning I turned it on.  (it wasn’t quite a full 24 hours)

It did work but the keys were having issues.  My husband told me to turn it off again and to give it more time. It wasn’t obviously ready yet if the keys were not working.

Well, now it will not turn on again.  There is a possibility I turned it on too early and it wasn’t completely dry inside and I shorted it out!

I still have it unplugged and the battery out in hopes that it will soon turn on again.  If not, I will be very sad.

If you have your coffee or your drink beside you right now and close enough that you could bang it over, please movie it somewhere else!

I have learned the hard way and I rely on my laptop so much for my blogging, writing for other sites and my school courses, that it will be very hard to lose it all!

Cross your fingers for me that I can make it work again!

I will keep you posted and please take my word for it, liquid and keyboards do not get well together!

My sister Cathy is forever 29 years old today and I want to wish her a very happy birthday from myself and my family.

 

The Top 5 Reasons why my sister is da bomb!

 

1. She has a great heart and willing to help if you are in a pinch.

2. She is and has always been a wonderful Aunt to my children.

3. She makes AWESOME cupcakes

4. She brings me a Tim Horton’s coffee every day I watch her daughter

AND

5. She is a wonderful sister and I love her very much!

I hope you have a fantastic and wonderful birthday! See you soon!

I have been thinking alot the past few weeks about why I started writing again and what I am trying to get out of it.

I used to write years back in highschool for the newspaper in Orillia and had always enjoyed it. Even though I had always planned to study Journalism, when it came down it, I hesitated.

Why? I do not know!

I second quessed myself and it is one regret that I have always had.  I didn’t write books or fairy tales or stories, I loved writing about productions, people and community events. I always loved researching a story, learning about people and writing about the amazing things that people are involved in.

So fast forward 21 years and here I am writing once again. I really quite misssed it, although I never realized it until I started again.

I have had articles I have written published on a few websites and I truly appreciate each and everyone of them giving me the opportunity to write for them.

Would I like to write full time? Heck yah!  Would I like to get paid?  Who doesn’t?

But am I okay and content to continue to write for personal interest and to keep happy?  Absolutely I am!

Blogging gives me the opportunity to write about how I feel, what I am up to and what interests me in the world. I appreciate the freedom it gives me to better my writing and continue to prove my skills.

I am more than happy to write for other people but will continue to do it for myself also.

I have met alot of amazing writers and bloggers over the months and if I could join their ranks, I would so be there.

If you enjoy writing and want to take a stab at it, go for it!  You may surprise yourself!
