Is it finally working

So it is the start of DAY THREE:

When I weighed myself this morning I had lost a total 6 kilos, I am just over half way to completing the goal that we set ourselves ten kilos in ten weeks, but the best thing about this it is the start of week four, so I'm sure that we will be able to do this together as a family.

I kept having to wake up in the night again and we are running out of toilet paper after buying another two packets, really that is how much that you have to go, it really is that funny, trying to race each other to the toilet. I feel like after the first two days I was finding it really difficult because my stomach was in so much pain and the smells of dinner was really getting to me (one of my sisters had to walk out of the room) but this morning I finally have my system down true I have to drink two cups of water per one cup of syrup water but it makes it stay down which it really good.

But it is only day three I'm sure that it will get easier with time, which is true for most things that we do in our lives. I feel like that the hardest thing that I face at the moment is that I have functions every night for the rest of the week, and also if I am going to complete the detox then I will not be able to eat at my dads birthday dinner.

I have been looking forward to this for some time now, our whole family is leaving early friday morning and travelling to Rotorua and going to the luge and zorbing. Now in our family the Luge is important fmaily tradition there was a period of time that we went there every year while travelling to CCNZ to drop the next kid off to school, my sister Victoria even had her wedding reception up there so it holds a lot of memories, but that weekend I will not be able to eat the amazing food but I'm sure that I can do it, it will be easy by then, you know watching and smelling other people in front of you.

the other thing that has changed about my body is that it feels pain more often, like my bed did not hurt my back and now I wake up every morning in so much pain. it takes me so long to get up for scripture reading with the family. but the energy that I have at the moment really makes up for that.

so that is me this day I really have to hurry because I need to go potty but I have to finish this before so until tomorrow

always and forever

DAY TWO:
So it has been just over a full 24 hours since we started the diet and 32 hours since I have eaten any solid food. it was super hard last night watching my nephews eat food right in front of me, then realizing that I wont be able to test anything that Dad brings home from his cooking class. for example last night he brought home cream puff's now I have not had homemade cream puffs since well I really cannot remember the last time it must have been sometime before I went to Hawaii and mum had to make them for some reason or another. I don't think I have eaten Homemade ones not cooked by my mother, I could not eat the ones at her funeral because it just was not the same. Anyway dad made them last night and they looked super super good but because none of us sisters could eat them because we are not allowed to eat, it was hard but we made it through the day. 


For me the hardest thing was eating out of habit, like you know that you are meant to eat at certain times of the day but then you have to remind yourself that you cannot eat. I often found myself opening the fridge door just staring at the food, it was like I had blacked out and then woken myself up,I literally had to force myself to shut the door and walk away. 


But you know the worst thing of all is that stupid DRINK that we are allowed to 'eat' it is so bad that I could not drink it all it almost made me spew up when I had finished all that I could do, though I did find out that it was because I had put way WAY WAY to much of the syrup in and not enough water and lemons but that will all change today so maybe the drink will not be as BAD. 


at night you have to drink this Laxative Tea and then head straight to bed, well with all this drinking I was up and down all night, it came out worse than the salt drink (but it tasted way better than it) I might just drink the tea in the morning and night, it seemed to clear the systems a bit better than the morning before. 


This morning I woke up with such a sore back, I don't know if it is the diet that is doing it to me or just my stupid bed so I am going to have to look up the side affects to see what it could be but so far I have had feeling the cold more, which as most of you knew this was a problem for me already, major headaches, again I was getting these before the diet it just needs that I am not drinking enough fluids (I find this funny because this is all I am having) and our Family had RUN OUT OF TOILET PAPER but this was to be expected anyway that is all that is wrong with my body so far, at least I am not getting any mood swings like other people that I know.


As for the weight loss  well I measured myself before I started the diet and it seemed that I had gained the weight I had lost from the previous two weeks of working out it was just eating way to much at the LAST SUPPER, but then this morning I had Lost Four Kilos so if we can just say that I re-lost the weight and then lost my first kilo of the day, yeah so, so far the claims of one kilo a day is true but we will see tonight. I have decided to weigh myself each night and see how much I have lost during the day and then tell you the results of how much. 


This week though I believe that it is going to be hard when I go out to all the functions that I am attending where supper will be served, like at my sisters netball brake-up, the what to wear party that we are going to and also the dance that is this week, and don't forget the HANGI that I brought from my sister that I will have to have freeze because I cannot eat it this Saturday when it is going down and the fried bread Oh how gutted I am at the moment but it will all be worth it 


Anyway until day three I have to go make more 'lemonade' well that is what my nephew says I should pretend it to be, but it is just not the same

Lemons into Lemonade

Left to Right: Victoria, Felicity, and ME 

So today my two sisters Felicity and Victoria and I started a new diet. you see it is our goal to loose ten percent of our body weight in ten weeks or until Felicity's next birthday which was in ten weeks when we started. we are coming on to our third weigh in and I have lost three kilos so it is better than nothing but not where I would like to be. because of the little weight loss we all decided to amp it up and we are starting a detox diet where we do not eat any solid food for TEN WHOLE DAYS. it is called the lemon detox diet and they give you everything that you are allowed to eat which includes salt water, lemon drink, herbal tea, and lemons lots and lots of LEMONS. they say though that if you do it for TEN days you can loose up to 14 kilos or a kilo a day. so we thought that we would give it a try.In this blog or for the next ten days I will be posting how it is going and what is happening to my body so here goes:


Last night we had our LAST SUPPER and had all the foods that we were not allowed to eat and man it was delicious, I wanted to eat more but I was way to full to eat more but my body was like this is the last time you will eat for awhile so eat more now. but I did well in not eating THAT MUCH. 

This is what I look like before the Diet so we shall see what we look like after

DAY ONE: day one was interesting it starts with a whole bottle of salt water (it is better warm then cold) both my sisters complained about it one of them even spewed up and had to start again, though my sister was coughing and pretending to spew in the background so that didn't really help. They kept telling me that it was horrible and that I was not going to last but it didn't fase me and that they should just stop complaining about it and just block their nose and drink it as fast as possible. both of them were like you just wait you will see and so they waited till i drunk mine, but the problem is it did not phase me one bit i drunk it like normal water, while the both of them took almost half an hour to drink it I done mine in like three minuets but by the fourth glass my body was telling me to stop. 


Sorry to tell you though that is not the worst part it is the next hour that you spend on the toilet that really gets to you. As my sister says it is like peeing out of your bum, I did not get it as bad as they did so maybe drinking the salt is better slow then fast, but one thing is for sure with three of us on the diet our family is going to need a lot more toilet paper. 

so that is it so far on day one, I need to go and make up the 'food' that we are allowed to eat or more like the 2L of drink that is allocated to us. this is the part that I am not going to like i say give me way more salt water any day. I tried it yesterday and I was like NASTY but I cannot give up on the first day so this is me signing out in the middle of DAY ONE
