So far..so good……

I’ve started eating oatmeal and drinking protein shakes for breakfast. It will be either/ or for a while…..

My eating pattern seems to be a lot more food towards the end of the day… so I have decided to give my self an eating curfew :). No food whatsoever after 9 pm.

Along with changing my diet I wanted to give myself some what of a FRESH START. Since I’m not eating anymore junk food I want all of the bad remnants gone. My Mom found this herbal medicine called RENU HERBS…..

Now I’ll start by saying I don’t really know if this stuff works. Renu Herbs has a line of Colon Cleansers and Detox Teas and that’s what I have started to use. They also have Parasite removers, Weight Loss pops, and Hair Products. A friend of mind that is a soon to be doctor ( S/O to Dr. Jegede) claims that you don’t need to actually CLEANSE your COLON. It happens on its own. But I don’t see the problem in helping it along lolol. Especially if it is with all natural products.


We’ll see if it really works, but check it out anyway at http://www.renuherbs.com/.


Do any of you know of other natural products that clean the system or help with weight loss???

At the suggestion of a friend I decided to blog about my weight loss journey. I’m going to stay honest with my supporters. In return, I hope you will judge and make me feel bad if I cheat (joking) but most of all ……keep me MOTIVATED. Along the way I hope that we can share information that may be helpful to one another.

After graduating from college and starting grad school, I needed to lose the extra poundage I had put on in the last few years. I started in late 2007, going from my heaviest 285 lbs…..and getting down to 235lbs. I had surgery on my foot in Jan ‘09 and it was all downhill form there. No more gym…..more time in bed….and bad foods = FAT ASS. I slowly started to lose all the muscle I built up and put on 20 pounds. So here I am today.. starting all over again…

Current Stats:

Height: 5’8
Weight: 255lbs
BMI: 38
Dress Size: 20

My Goals:

TO BE FIT…..not looking to get skinny here. I’d like to get my BMI below 25 and be able to run 5 miles without stopping


The Initial Plan:

Diet:
ONLY Water….with an occasional vodka tonic when I go out ( thanks Brit)
No Junk food ( McDonalds..Chinese etc.)
No Red meat…this is so hard around the holidays …(I want my Curry Goat lolol)
Eat Fruit and vegetables at least once a day…

Exercise:
Gym at least 3 times a week…..
I love to dance….so I will try to take as many classes as I can.

Here we go…….
