The Carrot vs. The Magnum
Well,
OH THE CRAVINGS! I think its this heat – I just want to eat stuff that’s really hassle free like hmm I don’t know a mint magnum – just unwrap and enjoy. Or Chinese – just open the box and tuck in! Its hard to feel motivated to cook veggies in this heat! I guess these are the days when I find out whether I am destined to fattydom or whether I can kick those habits and lose the 4 stone.
Lets see how the carrot fares against the mint magnum in taste, health and sexiness.
Carrot – Healthy, tasty when not overcooked, a good accompaniment to other healthy foods, a good colour, Nutritious. Good for the waistline but about as sexy as your Dads worst frilly suit from the 1970’s.
Mint Magnum – VERY TASTY AND MINTY AND YUMMYLICIOUS, extremely sexual food when eaten how the pretty lady on the ad does – you know with the closing of the eyes and the moaning and the slow biting into the cruncy chocolate outside coating. Also very bad for my waistline.
Well it is obvious. The carrot wins on health & nutrition and the benefits on my waistline. The magnum wins hands down on sex appeal.
Humph, I think the only time a carrot is sexy is when it is made into carrot cake – which personally I think equals the sex appeal of the mint magnum – but that’s a blog for another day!
I think I will have the carrot. The thought of being a fatty forever more quite turns me off the sexy magnum beast.

phew!
Okay,
SO yesterday I got back on the wagon and boy am I feeling better for it already! Really sticking to it again and determined to keep going to my “4 stone loss”
Getting back into the exercise routine this week, swimming tomorrow – best place to be in this heat! Finding at lunchtime I’m really not hungry at all which I think has a lot to do with eating a sensible breakfast! Just sticking to the forever lite ultra milkshake to make sure I’m getting all the right nutrients!
I’m wondering how long this heat wave will last – seems to be making people grumpy rather than smiley!

Back on the Wagon!
Well apparently weekends are my BIG downfall – alcohol and pizza – no no no no good for my waistline! I am a little disappointed with myself that I allowed these tasty treats to get in the way of my weight slide!
My resolve is stronger than ever, especially after waking up in the middle of the night with stomach ache! I still have 3 stone 9lbs to go till I am at my 1st year uni weight!
I found looking at old photos and recent photos really remotivated me to be a food angel, not a food devil.
I’ll keep you posted about the weeks foodsploits!

DAY 12
Another glorious day in the south west and another day of healthy eating! Well actually I have been on the go all day so I haven’t had a proper meal yet – looking forward to dinner. But I have had a forever lite ultra shake and a fast break bar and an aloe 2 go and some melon.
Really starting to notice my clothes fitting me better which is brilliant! Wish I had time to go swimming today but I have quite a lot to do so will stick to my 3 times a week plan this time!
As always, check out the website if you want more info on the detox.

DAY 11
Phwoooar it is HOT today in the south west!
Clean + Lean programme still going well, have found I am really uninterested in carbohydrate based foods such as potatoes and bread which is a refreshing change!
I thought I should mention a couple of tips about this programme for anyone thinking of doing this or something similar.
Please Make sure you are always properly hydrated – if you feel thirsty you are already dehydrated!
This programme is designed to educate you in healthy living for life – so even though the first stage is very strict this is not a “fad” diet, you need to be serious about making a change in your life for good.
If you wish to purchase the clean + lean or find out more information on the company and its products please click here
Till tomorrow!

DAY 10
Well,
Have moved onto the Forever Nutri Lean plan now and the transition has gone smoothly. Just wanted to point out a comment made about proper hydration all the time but ESPECIALLY when detoxing or participating in a weight management programme. Being properly hydrated will give you the best results, whether its losing weight or maintaining healthy living! With that in mind there is a great little gadget on the market to help you do so don’t know if you would be interested in promoting proper hydration for anyone trying to lose weight, but I found this really cool item to help remind me to stay properly hydrated throughout the day.
It is called a FIT Clip or Fluid Intake Tracker. There website is called http://www.fluidintaketracker.com or you can view it on http://fitclip.wordpress.com.
That’s all for today – I’m off for my daily swim (LOVING regular exercise again already and tis only day 2 of it!)

DAY 9!
WELL
I am EXCITED! Today is day 9 and I have lost a total of 9lbs. That is 1lb per day! I am really pleased with the results, I feel good I look healthier and this is definitely not the end of my journey. My long term goal is to lose 4 stone so I still have a long way to go but its a hell of a start! I have lost nearly 6″ around my body.
Today I will go swimming and start a regular exercise routine which is also quite exciting. I will keep updating this blog with how the next phase goes!

DAY 8
WOW, I cannot quite believe that tomorrow will be the last day of the clean 9! I am really excited about introducing a second healthy meal into my diet and also as of tomorrow I will be starting an exercise routine again – early morning swimming!! I am a little anxious about the last weigh in of the 9 days because I really want to have lost a lot, but on the other hand it doesn’t end tomorrow as I will be moving straight onto the Nutri-Lean programme so the weight loss doesn’t end here. I’m confident that once I start exercising as well as eating healthily I will keep losing weight safely.
Till tomorrow…

DAY 7
Sorry this is a day late but I was out the house all day yesterday, so I shall just write a quick update on how it all went down! It was a good day I didnt feel hungry at all even though I had to get up early and drink my milkshake at 6.45 instead of 9am! However there was a change in my day because I ate a sandwich for lunch AND had a really low calorie dinner because I didnt take my milkshake with me on my day out. I still didnt go over the calorie limit so I am hoping it wont affect me too much. So yesterday was a good day all in all and there are just two days remaining!

DAY 6!!
SO, today I did the day 6 weigh in and the results are good. I have lost another 4 lbs which means I have lost 8lb in total!!! Have also lost 5 1/2 inches in total thus I am very impressed with how the aloe detox is going! The only time I seem to notice anything is the mid afternoon energy crashes – which havent been toooo bad the last 2 days. We shall see!
Friday night is normally take away night so it will be a hard task not ordering that curry tonight!
