The Decision Has Been Made

[CLPgold]

Sleep: Altogether I think I got around 9-10hrs.

1:00pm
1 glass bottled water w/ 1/2tsp. sea salt
1 glass bottled water w/ 1tsp. Greens+ After about 10min of drinking the nasty tasting Greens+ down I started feeling good.

I'm drinking my bottled water at room temperature.

I will be going to the gym today for sure. I'm so excited I must say!!! Not to mention I haven't seen the hotties at the gym so I'm missing that too!!! My energy level isn't quite where it should be yet after over a week of maybe 4hrs of sleep a night, sometimes less.

I've already dropped some fluid that quickly. Every morning I do the "rubbing thigh test" LMFAO. I stand in front of my full length mirror with my feet right together. If I'm getting bloated, retaining water, putting on some excess bodyfat or from a harsh leg workout, the tops of my thighs touch. I HATE THAT!. Today they're not touching. There's a good 1/2cm-1cm in between. That's a good sign Can't wait to see the results in my ass and thighs after 7 days.

3:00pm
1 glass bottled water w/ 1 whole squeezed lemon

4:00pm
1 1/2cps fresh squeezed juice: granny smith apples, red grapes, lime
This concoction was super tasty!!!
1 glass bottled water w/ 1 lemon
I added raw cane sugar to the leftover pulp so it was kind of like homemade apple sauce w/grapes and lime LOL. I fed that to the kids. They like it!
Usually with the leftover pulp when I make juice I store it in the freezer for later use to use in my muffins and breads. You can come up with a million different ideas with that stuff!

6:00pm
1 glass bottled water w/ 1lemon
1 serving soy protein shake - I had too I'm starving!!!

7:30pm
1 cp fresh juice: orange, grapefruit, lemon and plum

Did a workout and drank 2 bottles of water

9:30pm
1 cp of same juice

12:00am
1 glass bottled water w/ lemon
1 bottled water

1:30am
1 bottled water

Me thinks I definitely need to up my water intake way more.

 

[CLPgold]

I have to pretty much preplan all my kids meals for the next 7 days too so that they're eating super healthy. I'm doing a secret little mini cleanse on them too. HAHA. They just won't realize it. They're drinking bottled water with lemon in it too.

Supper for them tonight will be:
filet of sole with lemon pepper seasoning and sea salt
steamed brocoli
brown rice

Breakfast always consists of a grain cereal: either oatmeal, cream o wheat, spelt cereal (just like cream o wheat), kamut flakes (just like oatmeal) and I usually throw in either spelt kernels, kamut kernels, or Red River cereal ( cracked wheat, rye and flax). They get clarified butter or flax oil on that, and either natural cane sugar or 100% maple syrup for some flavor.
1 fried egg white and 1 whole egg on a non stick fry pan.
1 small bowl of Astro yogourt.
A piece of fruit.

My oldest daughter always complains about the 4-5course breakfasts I feed them. She says it's just not right LOL. What does she know?

For snacks at school they get homemade muffins or a slice of homemade bread w/clarified butter, or fruit.

For snacks at home they have more options: salads, fruit, cut up veggies, homemade muffins, cottage cheese, yogourt, almonds, sunflower seeds, raisins, homemade bread w/ natural peanut butter, hardboiled eggs, etc. My kids also love the soy protein shakes.

Lunch is usually leftovers from supper, homemade soups etc.

And dinner of course is always a good thing for them.

Each child is perfectly healthy. None of them is overweight in any way, except huggie bear happens to be a thick boy, but he's gonna be about 6feet tall.
None of them has a single allergy, asthma, learning disability or any other physical or psychological illness. Perfect vision and hearing. They all do very well in school, are well behaved, funny, sociable, sweet,

Best of all???!!! They don't mind eating healthy. They get their treats on Friday night for treat nights usually. But they eat all their veggies and whatever else I place in front of them.

 

[CLPgold]

I made arborio rice for the kids instead of brown. It's very fluffy and sticky, like rice used in sushi rolls.

I'm juicing up 2 jugs so I can down more without the constant clean up. I need to drink more cuz I'm just famished now.

I don't want to do up too much at one time though cuz as soon as you juice it fresh and store it, it starts losing it's nutrition value. Enough is lost through harvesting, transport and storing in warehouses etc....

 

[Burner02]

Hey CLP!
Thanx!
ohhh, yo drink shakes with chunks? Man, when I do not shake up my protei9n shakes enough and drink them...the little chunks catch me off guard.....that makes me want to barf...

I think i will try those boca burgers that hammerlyn suggested.

Did you work out today?
I used different exercises for my delts today...that worked..they are sore!

You are a FANTASTIC MOM!!!!

I'm gonna use some of the grains you have listed and take it to our health food store so I can buy some of this stuff! Some of this I've never heard of! My kids eat pretty healthy too and I pack my son's lunch as well... He is in first grade and already kids are giving him a hard time if he brings healthy things to school . Makes me upset that so many kids have oreos, chips, basically junk packed in their lunches... It does definitely make a difference. My kids were not sick once last year.. knock on wood for this winter

Aren't you afraid to loose muscle during your fast?

 

[Burner02]

becuse you silly and gorgous woman....
buying snack pacs and bulk oreos are CHEAP!
Not that I would know. Honest! Seriously! Why aren'y you believeing me?
Plus, junk food is good for trading at lunch...

 

[lina]

Trading eh? Sounds like you did some trading during your times ...tit for tat right? ! Yes I know it's cheap, convenient and above all the kids LOVE that stuff! You are then considered 'cool' and if you bring in an apple you are 'uncool'! grrrr!!!

Well at least their snacks are provided by the school and sometimes parents volunteer to bring something in. Those are req'd to be healthier like fruits, small bagels, cheese, veggies, etc.

 

[Burner02]

Nope. Not much trading going on in my grade school days. I'm old. ''Back when I was a kid......I had to walk up hill, BOTH ways! In all kinds of weather! we didn't eat fod! no! We forraged for it!"

 

[lina]

Hey, we had to walk too! In the HOT sun! You're not Old! I'm old....hehe.... will tell that story to me kids... "...back in the olden days.... we had to walk to school...."

Now nobody walks, we drive and drive everywhere... I'm the worst offender!

 

[Burner02]

"Now nobody walks, we drive and drive everywhere... I'm the worst offender! "
it also seems to not be safe anymore with all the sick perverts out there...

 

[lina]

Yeah and some of these mad drivers out there!

Have you seen them?!

They seem to own the road and run over these poor lil' animals......



Night Burner

 

[Burner02]

g'night, Lina!
If you are on this weekend, will talk to ya then!

 

[CLPgold]

Mmm mmm chunks! LOL. These shakes are so tasty though, even the chunks taste good. Really! You gotta try this brand.

Yes, I did workout. Yeah!!!

Leg Extension 75lb
Seated Leg Curl 75lb
Horizontal Leg Press 235lb
Outer Thigh 50lb
Glute Machine 20lb

I will do cardio tomorrow and abs again. Then Thursday and Saturday do the same workout and squeeze in cardio each day for 30min. And throw some abs in once or twice. Starting next Monday it's back to hardcore regular workouts.

 

[CLPgold]

Thanks Lina My kids definitely eat very well. I also do it for me too haha, cuz if there's junk around I'd probably get into it. My self control around taboo foods in the house is not very strong.

I will lose some muscle on this fast, but it's only for 7 days. I want to drop down to 114lb for my next show so it won't be too bad. I'll get it back fairly quickly with 6 more weeks of training and a solid, clean diet.

 

[Burner02]

I wanted to do a bit of a 'fast' for a couple weeks to drop off some of my 'extra insulation'...but w8 riped me. I'm still licking my wounds....

 

[CLPgold]

LOL poor Burner. Haha.

I'm not fasting to drop bodyfat though, I'm doing a cleanse and detoxification mostly.

7:30am
1 bottled water

8:00am
1cp juice: orange, grapefruit, lemon, plum

9:00am
1 bottled water

9:30am
1 glass bottled water w/ 1/2tsp. sea salt
1 glass bottled water w/ 1tsp. Greens+

10:00am
1 bottled water

10:30am
1 bottled water

I woke up this morning and had to pee so bad it hurt!!! Agghhh.

It's great not to have any sort of bloated feeling. I feel 'light'. Still don't have that clean, detox feeling yet, but it will come

11:30am
1 cp juice: orange, grapefruit, lemon, plum
1 serving soy protein shake
1 bottled water

12:30pm
1 bottled water

1:30pm
1 glass bottled water w/ 1 lemon

OK I'm peeing so much now I'm afraid to leave my house

2:30pm
1 glass bottled water w/ 1 lemon

3:30pm
1/2cp juice: apple, red grape and lime
1 bottled water

5:30pm
1 glass bottled water
1cp juice: apple, red grape and lime - I must say this is fast becoming a craving of mine


I had 5 more bottled waters whilst drinking before I went to bed at 11:30pm then I was starving and had:
1 cp juice: apple, plum, lime
2 1/2 servings soy protein shake

 

[CLPgold]

Just wanted to smile. Hehe.

 

[CLPgold]

I chose not to do cardio today. WHY??? I cleaned and cooked since 8:00am this morning.

List of things:

Prepared kids breakfast
Made lunch for kids
Prepared then cooked supper for kids
Made lunch for tomorrow
Did all laundry, including bedding and put it back on bed
Dusted all wood furniture
Cleaned all glass and mirrors
Washed down walls
Cleaned bathrooms
Swept the whole house - it's all lino
Washed floors by hand
Took out all the garbage
Cleaned kitty litter boxes and refilled

So, I'd say I burned quite a few calories today. In between using my brain to talk to the kids, answer phone calls, play with huggie bear...

 

[CLPgold]

Oh MY BAD!! Honest it was subconscious. I know I'm doing a cleanse, but here's the story...

I went to the bank, then the grocery store ( got healthy food), but on the way home somehow my car careened towards The Beer Store. Before I knew it I was pouring a can of beer into a glass!!! GASP!!! But I did put 1 full squeezed lemon into it.

I know I'm cleansing and detoxifying, and alcohol is a big no no when doing this, but wait...I can justify this...alcohol is used as a cleaning antispetic right? Say I'm wrong. LMFAO. OH I just couldn't help myself. No bad foods whatsoever, so really is this that bad??? I only bought a 6 pack. OMFG, one of my cats just took a big dump in the litter box and I think I'm gonna barf. It smells reallllllyyyy bad. EWWWWW!!!!!

I have to admit though, I'm only halfway throught my fourth beer and I'm feeling pretty hammered. And yes I'm trying very carefully to make sure that my typing is all good.

I only bought a 6 pack again. That's really good for me.

Another justification:
I'm not scantily clothed - I'm wearing my decent cotton pj's and full underwear no G-string haha
I'm not out at a bar picking up strange men
I'm not drinking and driving
I'm not arguing or bitching at anyone
I'm - as usual and this is unfortunate - not committing any acts of fornication
My kids went to the swimming pool
I'm not craving or eating any bad food, hell I'm not eating anything except this silly justification
I'm still drinking my bottled water and juice in between
I made sure my kids had all their homework done before they went swimming, except the 2nd daughter has to read a book before bed for school
My day is planned and organized for tomorrow
I will get to bed early tonight

OK here's another interesting story in the next post, read on if you desire hehe

 

[CLPgold]

Right now is flea season and though most of my pets are protected, I usually don't get my indoor pets flea control. So, we have FLEAS!!! AGGHHH

Well, since I've been eating so much fruit the last couple weeks, I'm getting only 1-2 bites/week. And yes the indoor animals are going to the clinic on Friday to get the treatment, and one more cat is being neutered. Hehe.

Anyways, since I started my cleanse at 8:00pm Monday, I've been bitten exactly 3x. But, they quickly form a very small little (ew) pus bubble and as soon as I scratch them off, there's little to no itching. I don't know the scientific reasoning behind this, but fleas either aren't biting me and the bites I have are doing nothing. We got some flea bites last year and it was awful. A nightmare of itching all night. Now nothing is happening to me. I need to investigate this further. Unfortunately for the kids though, they're getting the usual super itchy, last for days welts. So I'm gonna drop approximately $300 on the indoor pets to have them get the flea treatment. If you've ever had flea bites you know they're 100x worse then any mosquito.

If anyone out there has any idea why it's not affecting me I'd like to know why for the future. My one theory is the excess citrus in my system, but who knows.

Remember I'm kinda hammered - I'm ashamed to admit off 4 beers - but I still wanna know.

I'm going to have 2tsp. of Greens+ throughout the day now. Can't wait to chug back more of that nasty green stuff.

Hey CLP!

You're really doing that fast! I don't know HOW you do it.. I truley wouldn't last a single day! Don't you get headaches? Feel ill? Getting bitchy? I know I would!!

Wow, you are such a great mom! Your kids will grow up healthy and beautiful.. Feel proud!

I always enjoy reading your journal, always fun stuff going on!

When are you starting eating again?

Take care,
NG

 

[CLPgold]

Hi Nike Girl

Yes I'm doing a semi cleanse and detox. Not quite sticking to the program as strictly as I should, I'm such a deviant. It's not that bad. I'm actually starting to feel the effects today, which is not the best feeling in the world. My stomach feels a little nauseous and crampy, but I am adding in more soy protein shakes too so it's helping. When the hallucinations start setting in I know I've gone too far LMFAO> I'm going to start slowly back on more solid food either tomorrow or Saturday. I think I should wait a little longer cuz I don't quite feel like I've reached my desired purpose. Still need to clean up a bit more.

I'm not getting any headaches and hope I don't. Oh well, this really does need to be done. It's good for the body as long as you don't go overboard and especially if you're not too thin or underweight to begin with.

 

[lina]

Oh, glad you gave me another reason not to get a dog... I don't like fleas! Plus, I think it's a lot of responsibility for me right now... but I'd love to have one, not to mention my kids!

I like your 'rub-the-thigh' test! I do not pass it and hate it too when they rub...urgh!

 

[Burner02]

Hey!
Always like reading your posts! You sound so vibrant!

Wanna clue me in on the 'rub the thigh' test?

You're killing me....yo're making excuses for your beer? That's funny. Just say, WTFUQ! and have one.
Isn't there that more or less cardinal rule of: If you deprive yourself of something you love, you'll go over board on it? Just keep it in moderation? Something like that?

Have a great weekend!
