Ok so I have been mia when it comes to my daily post. I can tell you that since we performed the dance, I haven't been exercising as much. It has maybe dropped down to twice a week. A few times I went to the Y and did a class.
I realize more and more that exercise is not only important to my physical health, but to my mental health as well. I would like to get into more detail but that will be the topic for a whole 'nother blog.
I finally went to a Zumba class! It was fun. Just like dancing at home but for 90 minutes! This is totally something my aunt and grandmother need to get in on.
Oh yeah, so:
04/23/12 lifted weights and did crunches at home
04/24/12 practiced our dance
04/25/12 I got my braces off!
04/26/12 nothing
04/27/12 Ran around the City Museum with my kids. Fun!
04/28/12 Zumba!

I think I am losing weight! On 03/26/12 I also started a parasite cleanse, recommended by my hydrotherapist. So far it is going well. Of course they recommend a food list to help maximize the benefits if the cleanse. It consists mostly of vegetables, organic/free range chicken or eggs, no shellfish, lemons, limes, grannysmith apples, etc..........I have gone shopping and got some of those things. I even found some brown rice pasta. I have been trying to be good. I do good during the day while at work, but its when im off that I get weak. Like on day one in the evening I ate McDonalds which is something we don't do often but it was late and i knew I wasn't going to cook. Day two I did a little better except I had some bread and I bought some dark chocolate covered cranberries. The list did say cranberries. I also bought some dark chocolate covered mint cremes. And yesterday I bought some salty hot chips called "Hot Diggety's" I had been wanting some and couldn't find them. When I did I bought them and ate them with a grape Arizona. I won't beat myself up though cause the good thing is that i have been active and eating right for the most part. Like I have been eating my apples. I bought some avocadoes and some tomatoes and the limes and lemons. I am going to give myself a chance to get it together without giving myself a black eye about it! Anywho, it is day 4 of the cleanse and I missed my third dose last night. From day 4 on I am to double up, so I am going to try to stay on track. I will post some pics and list my ending weight on the last day. My weight as of a couple days ago. Monday to be exact was 201 lbs. My goal is to get down to 165/160.

Keeping Track 03/15-03/18
On Thursday I did nothing.
On Friday I had a colon cleanse. The cleanse was great. I experienced mental clarity immediately and I also felt as if I could breathe deeper. As a result at first my breathing was kind of rapid cause it felt as if I was truly getting air for the first time. I also learned more about the 80/20 alkaline way of eating.
On Saturday I had dance practice. Although I got there late, the time I was present was very effective.
On Sunday I did nothing.

Hi Everyone. It's 2012 and I am still on my quest to loose weight and lead a healthier life. In the later part of 2011 I purchased a Groupon. This February I had the opportunity to use that coupon. I had a chance to visit a local spa that uses colon hydrotherapy as a treatment for many ailments. I just wanted to get cleansed............from the inside. I was in a sort of shock the whole time I lay on the table. The experience wasn't at all what I expected. I don't mean that in a disappointing way. I actually learned a lot in both sessions. I was a great experience overall. It has helped me to really take some things into consideration. Namely what I put into my mouth. It also doesn't hurt that I lost about 5 pounds in 2 days!
I also had a chance to view a documentary called "The Beautiful Truth." Also eye opening. I have a lot to consider when it comes to my diet and that of my family. It won't be easy, but it will definitely be beneficial.

SweetThang
Hi Everyone! I have been away for a while. I have been excercising though. And just to let you know, in the morning, in my birthday suit, I weigh about 200lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am happy about that. Looking back, its not a lot, but to me I am maintaining.
But yall I have learned that I have an evil twin. Her name is SweetThang. She likes to eat sweets. Anything sweet. Cookies, candy, lately its been powdered donuts. A whole bag. She will eat sweets and not eat food. She will eat sweets until her head is hurting and eyes are twitching. Yes my eyes have been twitching and I think it is because of the sweets. Or it could be from starring at a computer too much. At any rate it is still Ridiculous yall.
The good thing is that I have picked back up on my activities. I am hoping to join the Y next year and get a personal trainer. I need to loose 30-45 lbs before the summer. And keep it off. I am open to suggestions. Holla at me.
