		This is about me and my weight loss journey. I am not only losing weight, but I'm also removing toxins from my body. Post my diet, I will be following a structured healthy way of eating, which I have been following before the Master Cleanse or Maple Syrup Diet. The thing is, I'm not exactly fat - but I have gained quite a bit of weight which I would like to lose. During my 1st cleanse I managed to lose 22.5lbs /10.2 kg and learn a lot. I'm into my third cleanse now.

                              |   Day 6   | 
                             
                            
                              No loss to report, but a gain. Ok so I cheated but not sure if that's why I gained 0.2 kg back. I had chocolate, but before you start thinking I had a bar, I didn't. I have some chocolate at home with coconut inside and a thin layer of chocolate outside - so I had the thin layer of chocolate off 2 chocolates about the size of my thumb. I figured it would be equivalent to syrup, but maybe I was wrong because of the gain. I also have my period so I wonder if my body is rebelling. I also did some exercise and usually my loss is less if I exercise so I wonder if all these things combined caused the gain.
  The other day I did a workout and didn't lose much, about 0.4 kg the next day I did nothing and lost 1.2 kg. . . . I intend to finish what I started, I need to lose the weight, I have had enough of being told "oh I didn't realise you are actually quite big". Watch this space! I wont be quite big for long. |

                              |   Day 5   | 
                             
                            
                              Today is day 5 and I am happy I have come this far - I never would have thought. I had my hubby check the scales but had to get it out of him later on today. I have lost a total of 3.6 kg / 7.9 lbs in 4 days. I have so much to do but so little time. I really want to accomplish this goal because in the past I have felt guilty when I haven't made it through and the weight loss issue can get me down at times. I was reading my blog the other day and seeing how far I have come. Sometimes it's almost unbelievable what I used to weigh. I am glad I am on the right at the moment but it is so easy to lose it when you are on this cleanse. I have ensured that I wont be tasting any food, i.e chewing and then spitting. I am only smelling it and sniffing. I have also made enough juice for tomorrow so I don't struggle.
  Surprise surprise - my period came yesterday, as if I am not suffering enough already. I am telling you, I will be thrilled once summer comes and I'm in that bikini or whateve I'll be wearing - I will so deserve it because I couldn't have chosen the busiest time to do this and smack bang before that time of the month. Considering the circumstances I have done ok so far.
  What I wish I could eat right now .......... irish stew and dumplings, lamb with worcestershire sauce, roast potatoes, burger (real on not McD's) . . . . . so, I'm just day dreaming. Just 10 more days I will have done 15 days..................................... arghhhhhhhh why why why am I doing this??? I'm trying not to quit but it's getting to me. We'll see how I get on - I'll try my best to fight those bad feelings. |

                              |   Day 2   | 
                             
                            
                              I survived day one. I have lost 1.4 kg about 3.08 lbs in one day! That's the most I have seen the scale go down by in 24 hrs. Of course a lot will say it's mostly water etc - but that's fine because the scales are going the right direction. I don't think I will lose 3 lbs daily - usually my average loss is about 1.32 lbs but last time it was 2.2 lbs for the first 5 days.
  I did work out a little yesterday so that may have had something to do with it. I've had my tea and SWF and waiting for it to kick in. But I will be doing other things in the mean time. I'm going to do a little shopping for summer. Seeing those shorts etc will motivate me to fit into them so I hope it works.
  Thank God I have a loving man who really made sure I didn't quit last night because I was sooooooo close. Summer here I come! |

                              |   DAY 1 - New year Cleanse   | 
                             
                            
                              I haven't really managed to do a successful cleanse this year and I might be nuts for starting now but I am growing BIG!!!
  I've started eating for comfort because I'm going through a lot. Last night I ate a load of chicken and I knew I wasn't hungry but that's what I do and I need that control back where I can decide what goes in my mouth for nutritional reasons only. So here we go - I'm aiming for 21 days and should be done by 21st of May.
 
 
  I think I will also pray a lot because this will be difficult with the amount of stuff I have to go through now. |
