Hi, I'm back.
Background and Why I'm Back:
I was here last year in April and completed 13 days. I was 137 pounds at the beginning and ended with 130 pounds. I was able to keep the weight between 129 - 131 pounds until November by following most of the Wild Diet's rules. Then December came and with it the weight. The weight began to creep up slowly, first I weighed 132, then a couple weeks later 135, a couple weeks later 137 and it stayed at 137 for a while and this morning? 140 pounds. That's the most I have weighed in over a decade. However, I can still fit into all of my clothes and the funny part is that it's not a tight fit, the pants just feel slightly less loose. The 10 pounds increase doesn't make a lot of sense. My diet consists of mostly organic protein, organic lettuce, almost no grains and very little sugar. The only thing I can think of is I have a lot of water weight. I don't believe it's muscle gain, because I injured myself a few months ago and barely did any workouts from November to February, so maybe that's one of the reasons I gained the weight, but I still work out and I eat very well 90% of the time, so I just don't know.
How I prepared myself mentally to start lem diet again:
In the past few weeks I was starting to get miserable seeing my weight creep up. So I decided that since I'll be miserable either way, why not go on the cleanse and give myself hope for a slimmer me. Mind over matter is my mantra. I also see this as a healthy approach to detoxify my body. Win-win. I wish you all well on your journey to a healthier and slimmer you.
Day 0:
I bought two small chocolate bars from Trader Joe's and ate them, so that I'd miss sweets less while on the cleanse.
I had the Smooth Move Tea at night.
Day 1:
Weight: 140
Started off with the salt water. I like to read magazines or go on the Internet while drinking it so that it would distract me from the taste and it worked this morning, because before I knew it, I was done. Last year I used agave, but this time around I'm using maple syrup. I found out that agave is actually very bad sugar and it's highly processed, even the organic agave.
