A Slimmer, Healthier Me: Tomorrow is a new day

A Slimmer, Healthier Me

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.

Tomorrow is a new day

"Tomorrow is a new day", a new phrase we have been using around the house (when I'm about to quit). It works, because I wake up in the morning thinking, thank God I didn't eat. I seem to suffer a lot in the evening and the urge to eat becomes greater. Today is Sunday, Day four . . . Although I would rather no be doing this, I am at the stage where I couldn't just quit. I don't feel like I want to quit, but yet I want out - it's very odd.
It's summer and I would rather be out now, having a barbecue or relaxing and cooking some good food with my hubby.
But I'm on day 4, day 4! I'm happy tomorrow is day 5. I need other things to do with myself, so not sure what to do tomorrow because I don't plan to weigh in till Wednesday. I still have my novels, a few chapters left to go with one of them. But there's another I can finish as well I guess. I think reading novels is about all I can handle right now. It doesn't require too much thinking.
What else can I do?
I am looking to get some more cook books. I especially want soup recipes and have my eye on two really good ones. I might get others too and I guess this will help me plan my post cleanse days. This is actually the fun bit of the cleanse. I will have to ensure I have all my ingredients for the soup/s when I'm about to finish, as well as Juice stuff. I will probably fo OJ for a day and then add other fruits gradually the following day. Then soup without the bits - a job for the blender on my third day. More soup + juice + salad on fourth day . . . protein probably starting with minced whatever as I don't really want to rush solids.
I need to make sure I have my probiotics to hand - which are already here anyway, and my usual vitamins. I want to continue running every morning, and doing my weight. I have started measuring my arms too :)
Now that's towards the end of my cleanse, but now I need to focus on today and tomorrow and the day after which is the day before weighing in. I am coping so much better today, not as frustrated as the last 3 days.
I guess I will update when I have anything of gret importance to tell. I just need some time alone and to take care of myself in the next few days. Bubble baths, face peels, facials, body scrubs etc etc
