Monday is such a great day this week!  Measurements taken and scale weight measured and thus far I am delighted with the results.  NO!! I will not share them until the experiment is over ;o).  That would spoil all the fun!   But I will tell you this, at times  our bodies just need to be shocked a bit to start releasing the fat we want to lose.   My boss said to me this morning “you literally look like you lost part of yourself this weekend”.  I’d call that a win. 

Now keep in mind if you are reading this blog and you have a significant amount of weight to lose, the process will be a little different. And that’s where great coaching comes in.  I’ve dealt with my emotional baggage.  In fact I spent several years unpacking that baggage trunk one shoe box at a time.  It was well worth the time spent freeing my soul of unneccessary guilt and anguish.  Life is too short to live in the past. 

Back to my experience.  I went to the gym this morning to do my lower body workout.  Was it a break all my records workout?  Well no.   That would have been a ridiculous expectation.  My goal today was to work as hard as I did the last time I worked my legs.  Was I successful?  Yes, very.  I imagine that tomorrow the workout will be more on par with my normal die trying initiative.   Part of the battle of any experiment like this is to understand the difference between your normal and your experiment expectations.  

In my case, I’ve cut my calories significantly and included two full cleanse days.  I’m not going to come off of a cleanse weekend feeling like a super she hulk unless someone makes me angry.  Then it’s quite possible.

A little more about me.  I’m a big girl (5’8″) that likes clean food.  Just making sure everyone is clear on me and my prefered method of eating.  I’m sure it will take all of the manners I can muster not to appear to be a carnivore let loose on my first meal in weeks at the dinner table.

On a side note, I’m over joyed that I was able to post to the blog from my cell over the weekend.   Lack of internet really bites when you like to be social.   

Have a great day and keep coming back for more!  I really appreciate the “likes” and comments so thank you!!
