First day of a healthier me

C and I had our weigh-in today. I have a count down written on our bathroom mirror with a dry erase marker to make it official. It's pretty exciting because I'm so curious to see how well I do. I don't even care about beating him...well maybe I do. The main thing is to be healthier, eat healthier and to tone up my body.

I rang in the new year by drinking nothing but water. I definitely peed a lot so I know it's been flushing me out like crazy lol.

So, I had planned on starting the Master Cleanse today since it is the first day of the new year, but we've been lazy since the holiday break is still going on. We didn't get the chance to go to the market to get what I needed.

I did get a lot of other things done, though, as far as what I'll eat before and after I finish with the Master Cleanse. I'm also pretty excited to exercise...never thought I would ever say that. It's funny because when I had started up a new craze for exercizing during my spare time a few weeks ago, my 17-month-old was copying me and doing leg stretches and trying to jump. He is so adorable.

We forgot to take before pictures today, but I'm sure we won't lose so much weight from today and tomorrow. So yeah I'll show that and the after picture at the end of all of this.

Anyone else who is jump starting their health/diets/weight/etc, good luck to you!

I'll write soon,

Jess

Calorie Cycling Menu

Many people, when starting out, want a calorie cycling menu. The thing is there's no need for any special menus since people can eat whatever they want, as long as they stay within their (very generous) calorie allotments.

People can literally eat crap and still lose weight (not that this is at all recommended). On the cheat days, people can go out to eat and not have to worry about anything. They can order whatever they want, because they've done well for the other days in which they ate low calorie.

This might seem like a crazy Utopia, but it truly does work. There's just no reason for a calorie cycling menu when on this diet.

All people need to do is easily track the calories that they eat (which can easily be done on most websites) and make sure that they line up with the generous amount of calories that they're supposed to be eating on their low days.

On their high days, depending on which plan they go with, they might not even bother to track the calories, because they've been so good all week. This is one of the perks of being on a calorie cycling (also known as calorie shifting or zigzag diet) plan.

Most people who follow some sort of calorie cycling menu like to eat healthier, just because calorie cycling is more of a healthy diet plan, and it attracts more of those people. Either way, it doesn't matter - follow the calorie allotments and you'll be on a healthy road to weight loss.
