Caliritek- I''m sorry 30DS isn''t working. If you think it''s even worth it, I would try to skip straight to level 2 or 3. I am so jealous of your hip-hop classes!! When do you start?
Master Cleanse. It''s the ''lemonade detox.'' Basically it''s water, fresh lemon juice, pure maple syrup and a touch of cayenne pepper. You drink it all day for as much as 12 days. I''m on day 3 and I''m hungry...Date: 2/20/2009 10:32:32 AM

Bia- FASTING?? What type? I''m interested!!
Make sure you come off of it correctly. A friend of mine did the master cleanse and didn''t come off of it exactly the way they recommend and has had some serious digestive problems ever since. A lot of your internal bacteria that you develop over your life to aid in digestion dies when you fast, so if you don''t come off of it properly you could have trouble getting the bacteria back.Date: 2/20/2009 2:51:39 PM

I''m going to do 2 more days and then I''m bowing out. I was feeling crappy that last couple of days but today I feel really good (and light!).

Don't beat yourself up over indulging a little. It doesn't sound like you have been doing that often so why not reward yourself after a long week.Date: 2/21/2009 10:18:39 AM

Well I had a crappy day yesterday...1) I missed doing the 30 day shred!! 2) I had two drinks (vodka and club soda) 3) I ate two (kind of big) slices of pizza for dinner! I know its only 1 day and I was pretty good about my lunch, so I'm not too stressed.
Buuuut, I weighed myself on the Wii fit today and I weight EXACTLY THE SAME as I did last weekI have a feeling some of that is muscle gain, because I feel like I am more toned and my tummy is a little smaller, but maybe I'm just crazy
I was thinking about doing the 30 day shred twice today to make up for yesterday, not sure about that yet though....
Thanks for the support! FI told me he thought I was losing weight (unsolicited and before I told him that I weighed myself and weigh exactly the same) so that validated my not feeling like I was crazy.Date: 2/21/2009 11:50:47 AM

I can relate to the weighing yourself w/o seeing a change thing. I weighed myself recentely after not doing so for a couple of weeks and I weighed the same. It was sort of annoying. Keep at it and you will see changes. It sounds like you feel some anyways and I don''t think that the more tone and smaller stomach is in your head! Afterall, you''ve been kicking the 30DS''s behind!!
My arms are killing me today after my swim yesterday. I think that the pain actually woke me up a few times last night. I am going to go soothe my pain by walking around this huge mall while FI is out paintballing and trying on wedding bands at Tiffany''s.

Clairitek - Congrats on signing up for a triathlon!! That's so awesome, good for you
My dad is a tri-athlete and I've been trying to muster up the courage to enter (a short) one for two years. What state is it in?
Thanks for the information PPM! Its always good to be reminded about healthy eating habits. I have to admit that I was tempted by the cleanse stuff but I know that I couldn''t do it. I suffer the consequences handily when I don''t eat enough. I''ve passed out in the shower a few times.Date: 2/23/2009 2:17:00 PM

I''ve been doing poorly over-all for the past week or so... Not working out as much (though doing lots of general walking/cleaning/carrying) but those things do not provide the results that an hour-a-day at the gym provide. Oyyy. Plus my sister was visiting this weekend which was awful/stressful/un-fun. She leaves today. I''m glad. I know that sounds horrid, but trust me... She & I do not get along anymore. At all.
I''m excited to hop back on the bandwagon, though and am feeling positive. After a week or so of slacking I don''t feel that my endurance or strength has reduced significantly, so hopefully the bounce-back will happen pretty fast!And today it is 65 and GORGEOUS outside, so maybe FI & I will go for a nice jog
I also REALLLLLY feel that I need to comment on something:
Bia & others contemplating cleanses: #1- Bia-- SOOOO glad to hear that you''re coming off of the cleanse!! HOORAY! I''m happy that you''re feeling better!!! Cleanses are NO GOOD for our bodies. Yes, they detox, but they also majorly screw up our metabolisms, dehydrate & steal away nutrients. As grown women you can do what ya''ll want, but as a Pricescope Friend I am PLEADING & BEGGING that fasts/cleanses be avoided during pre-wedding fitness & weightloss journeys. They''re nothing but dangerous & often the long-term effects outweigh the temporary weight loss.
If you are interested in a true DETOX, the best thing to do is take a multi-vitamin, drink only water (no juices, soda, coffee, alcohol, etc), eat brown rice & raw veggies! Even with this ''diet'' you''re (super) at risk for not consuming enough calories, so only do it for a handful of days... But it will rid your bod of nasty things and reduce bloat. If you''re working out a lot, add lean chicken, turkey, or fish to the equation. It is essentially a super-duper-healthy diet. A bit more restrictive than what we should be eating on a regular basis, and not very varied... But it will not mess with your metabolism and you won''t be hungry or malnourished. Liquid-water-based diets are never, ever, ever, ever, ever good for you. In the long-term, its likely that fasting will only slow down your overall weight loss.
BE HEALTHY, LADIESRemember that our bodies NEEEEEED food! Calories = ENERGY!
I''m not sure how good my advice will be but I just went for it. It took a lot of courage to go jump in with all the more experienced swimmers in the pool and I was really self conscious about my horrible form but after I got into a rhythm I stopped thinking and just swam. It really helps me take my mind off of things too! I find that I don''t obsess over wedding details or my work when I am in there. I just focus on not drowning.Date: 2/23/2009 3:57:48 PM

Wow!! That''s awesome, congrats!!Date: 2/24/2009 4:03:49 PM

I swam 600 yards (~1/3 mile) the first day, 800 yards (~ 1/2 mile) the second day and I did 1000 yards today (~5/8 mile). I noticed a HUGE difference in my endurance after the first day.
I wish I could give you more advice! I really don''t know what I''m talking about.
Wha?? I didn''t even notice that it wasn''t a new thread! No worries.Date: 2/24/2009 4:22:16 PM

Also, my apologies for forgetting to start a new weekly thread on Sunday... It was a very busy weekend!! I''ll have them change this one to a 2-week thru the 27th, and then we''ll start a new week on the 28th.
