I'm on day 9 of JJ Smith's Green Smoothie Cleanse. I am surprised I made it. It got easier towards the end. I plan on continuing with 2 smoothies a day with a meal through the rest of January. That will give me enough time to transition to a solid eating regimen.
 
I really need this challenge. It's 4 days into the new year, and my eating's been terrible :look: . I need to figure out a eating plan. I'm thinking of setting an appointment with a dietitian. ETA: I figured out my eating plan while answering the nutrition question :lol:

Height: (for those looking for body buddies) 5'3"

I finished my last day of the JJSmith 10 day green smoothie cleanse. I feel a bit better. I think I have gotten my blood pressure down a bit. I'm only down 3 lbs but it's a start.

Today I switch over to 2 smoothies and a meal for the rest of January. My goal is to just lose 1 lb a week. That's my usual rate. I will get back to walking this week and ride my bike next weekend. I need to get myself in shape.

Finally got around to my first workout of the year. Did a full upper body workout, I'll do legs/glutes tomorrow. Also ended up going to the grocery store after and getting some chicken, sweet potato and baby greens to cook tonight instead of the burger and fries that I originally wanted to get :look:. Ended up being pretty good.
 
I've been eating healthy so far this year!!! My sis works at Dunkin Donuts and always brings some home, plus there's several fast food stores nearby so I'm surrounded by temptation. I could be going out getting stuff everyday but I've been holding back (to my amazement). I'm also not eating any processed/chemical-y foods that are in the house (I live with others who do the shopping). So far so good. I want to start working out too, since I'm sedentary as heck.

Lack of knowledge on how to cook healthy is my main barrier right now, but I've been looking at stuff on pinterest to give me ideas. So far I notice my scalp inflammation has gone down, and my cheeks (my problematic acne areas), are nearly clear. And that's from what, a week of no processed foods? Woahhhh!! I need to learn more recipes though, or else I'm going to regress back to how I used to eat soon. Sweet potatoes, salads and oatmeal is nearly all I've been eating, and if I see romaine lettuce or oatmeal again, I'm going to have a seizure. I just can't anymore. LOL.

That's great process and in such a short amount of time! It's amazing how quickly your body starts to heal when you cut out all of those poisons.

Do you like baking? You can always bake a whole bunch of muffins and freeze them. That will mix things up a bit.

I used both BM Grease and my premixed Shea butter blend to seal in my herbal tea rinse tonight.

I still have about 3 lbs of shea butter to use up and most likely will be making my new SB purchase from www.3cayg.com when I run very low.

This was even better than the BM grease by itself. I think this will be my heavy sealant combo moving forward. I really like how my hair felt.

I will be starting my keto diet tomorrow for a couple of weeks this month. Already drinking a little more water than I was last month.
 
Have you guys tried an app like Drink Water? It will calculate how much water you need to drink based on your weight and you can set it up so that it reminds you to drink some water. You also enter the amount of water you've had at that time and if you are using the reminder setting, they stop once you've reached your target.

Also Started 2 weeks of the Keto Diet yesterday. I already ate my breakfast of 2 scrambled eggs cooked in 1 oz of butter with a slice of mozzarella and feta cheese on top. Tasty :lick:.

I have some Keto Cauliflower Chicken Alfredo that I cooked and had for dinner last night saved over my lunch later today.

Not sure if I will want dinner tonight since this keto diet is very filling to me.
