watchm3getskinny: BURNING ONE EXTRA POUND A WEEK: Here’s how… Since 7000 jumping jacks burns 1 pound, if you did 7000 a week you would burn that extra pound right? You divide 7000 by 7 (days of the week) and BAM! You have 1000 jumping jacks to do PER day. Still too much huh? How about dividing that 1000 by 5 (hours).. which gives you: 200!  Sounds more DO-ABLE right? 200 jumping jacks every hour for 5 hours, daily for a week and HURRAH! You burned that extra pound in only 7 days. I haven’t really done this but given the math, I think this method might work. Going to start TODAY  I’M DOING THIS. EVERY DAY.

I’m just going to come clean (so to speak. ha.) and say it: I’m down with the juice fasts. Which is ironic, because I’m about as ANTI- trendy diet/unhealthy, metabolism-slowing, hunger-fighting tricks as they come. If someone tells me they’re going to completely eliminate gluten from their diet from now on, I laugh in their face. If someone says they are going ZERO carb for the next month, I yelp and tell them how desperately your body NEEDS whole grains to function. And yet, I’m totally ok with giving up solid foods for 1 to 3 days every once and awhile. I’m doing a one day cleanse as we speak, and bought a deal for a 3 day cleanse from Rue La La to use next month. I admit it, it’s totally trendy. It’s expensive. But you know what is also expensive? Medical bills. Grocery bags full of unhealthy foods that I binge eat with reckless abandon. Clothes in a size larger because my current wardrobe doesn’t fit. I’d rather just fork over $60, drink a bunch of kale that was juiced for me (I don’t have the time or patience to make six juices a day myself, thankyouverymuch) and feel better. Cleanses break my food addictions. Not permanently, because GOD who can escape Trader Joes without staring longingly at their translucent boxes of chocolate-coated perfection, but at least long enough to remind me that fresh produce is the jam. To remind me what it feels like to be healthy and happy and not weighed down by slabs of white bread and an entire box of TJ’s pistachio bark.  I know the fact that I even need to do cleanses means I have some food [read: mental] issues that I should probably address. But that’s a big challenge for me, and something I’m constantly trying to improve. In the mean time, I’m just letting you know that I do juice cleanses sometimes. I’m ok with them, and I won’t judge you on whether or not you’re ok with them, too.

Blue Print Cleanse, Summary So here I am, a few days post- cleanse. I completed a three day Blue Print Cleanse (BPC) for those of you just tuning in. Was it worth it? I’m not totally sure. I did lose three pounds. I did become more aware of what my body craves and why and what makes my body feel like shit and why. I could not ever choke down juice number 5 (the third green juice of the day). I just skipped it and went on to juice #6, the cashew milk. The heavenly, heavenly cashew milk that is the most delicious thing you could possibly have at the end of the day. However, it would make me feel EXTREMELY full and I usually woke up bloated and sick-feeling the next day. I’ve been noticing that any time I eat cheese lately, I feel the same way. Guess it’s my body’s way of telling me to watch the saturated fats.  Did it completely rid me of unhealthy cravings? Sadly, no. I’ve been scarfing down dark chocolate like it’s hot all day long, but that is probably mostly due to the fact that I’ll be getting my monthly visitor any moment now.  The cravings were the main reason why I did this. I would never recommend this to someone who’s solely trying to shed pounds overnight. That is not the point, and is definitely not why I did this. I DO want to lose a significant amount of weight (25 pounds, to be exact) but in order to do so, I needed to trigger my mind to revert back to my old, healthy ways of eating. I’ve been craving way too much sugar, salt, fat and processed food lately and have been feeling like utter crap. I wanted it all out of my body and to go back to craving fruits and vegetables. I definitely do feel like I’m more back to this than I was last month, however I had already started to ease back into this kind of lifestyle in the two weeks leading up to BPC. Did it make me feel an intense surge of euphoric energy like the website led me to believe I would? Not exactly. It was definitely nice to be set free from thinking about eating, though. When I had a craving, it didn’t matter, because eating just wasn’t an option. I wish I could get my will power to replicate this mindset. Sadly, for me, in the battle between food and skinnyness, food always comes out victorious. I know a lot about nutrition. I know that cleansing is not exactly healthy, it does not result in maintainable weight loss. But for me, this was more of an emotional cleansing. I needed to break my bad habits. I’m generally a fairly healthy eater. I don’t drink soda, ever. I rarely imbibe to excess. I eat tons of fruits and vegetables, keep my meat eating limited (and when I do, it’s just lean, white chicken or fish), I start every day with plain greek yogurt. I drink more water than anyone you know. But my problem is that I’m a binge eater. I eat until I feel absolutely horrendous. And when I binge once, I get stuck in a pattern of doing it every day until something or someone forces me to break the cycle.  So yes, BPC forced me to break the habit. It made me realize things about my dietary needs and what my body SHOULD feel like when things are humming along smoothly. Am I still craving dark chocolate? Yes. Am I craving a three pound bag of assorted Halloween candy? No. So there’s progress. I’m trying to focus on taking one day at a time. I know that long-term weight loss for me will be a struggle, but if I make realistic, short-term goals, I believe it will be possible. Goal #1: Eat SLOWER. Chew your food. Savor it. One bowl of pasta eaten slowly takes the same amount of time to consume as inhaling two bowls. Remember that.

Blue Print Cleanse, Summary

So here I am, a few days post- cleanse. I completed a three day Blue Print Cleanse (BPC) for those of you just tuning in. Was it worth it? I’m not totally sure.

I did lose three pounds.

I did become more aware of what my body craves and why and what makes my body feel like shit and why.

I could not ever choke down juice number 5 (the third green juice of the day). I just skipped it and went on to juice #6, the cashew milk. The heavenly, heavenly cashew milk that is the most delicious thing you could possibly have at the end of the day. However, it would make me feel EXTREMELY full and I usually woke up bloated and sick-feeling the next day. I’ve been noticing that any time I eat cheese lately, I feel the same way. Guess it’s my body’s way of telling me to watch the saturated fats. 

Did it completely rid me of unhealthy cravings? Sadly, no. I’ve been scarfing down dark chocolate like it’s hot all day long, but that is probably mostly due to the fact that I’ll be getting my monthly visitor any moment now. 

The cravings were the main reason why I did this. I would never recommend this to someone who’s solely trying to shed pounds overnight. That is not the point, and is definitely not why I did this. I DO want to lose a significant amount of weight (25 pounds, to be exact) but in order to do so, I needed to trigger my mind to revert back to my old, healthy ways of eating.

how-to-be-a-healthy-bitch: You reblog astonishing before and afters. You reblog girls who are strong, who have a wonderful tan, who can run for miles and miles, who have long and healthy hair, who have flawless skin, who do not seem to need a Fitblr to remind themselves to eat their vegetables and hit the gym because they are out eating their vegetables and hitting the gym.You reblog pictures of laughing girls in bikinis with captions saying, “Why not you?”. But you are not thinking, “Why not me?”. You are thinking, “Why me? Why me out of all these girls and women? I am comfortable in my fatsuit, in my desk chair, in my laziness, in my grudge and in my adversity. Why me? Why should I try? If I’m not going to make it anyway?”. It is easier to remain where you are. You know where you are at. You have come to know it and you have come to loathe it. It made you rigid. Stiff. Numb. Your inertia pisses you off but you are too far beyond the point where its pissing off would have made you move. Made you change something. Made you do something. Anything.Anything is not: Reblogging fitspo. It is not: Liking healthy recipes. It is not: Following fitness gurus. Anything is: Going out. Now. For a walk with your favourite songs on your iPod. You are reading this now. You are making time for Tumblr. You are not doing anything. You are not treating yourself with love and care. You are keeping yourself prisoner. Go out. Now. And if it is just ten minutes. Listen to the music, experience your shoes on the ground, the wind up your nose, the chilly and crisp air. Treat yourself nicely. You are doing something. You have taken that one step. And you can take another. Tomorrow. Ten minutes. Just for yourself. And you will get there. Slowly, but surely.Just do something for yourself.
