So can y'all believe that 2014 only has 31 days left?
Thanks Giving has come and gone and it was sooooooo good.
I ate my weight in meat.
I mean, stuffed.
Meat sweats aren't fun after.
LOL
This week I'll be 11 weeks post tummy tuck and I have learned a few things since then.
I don't drink enough water, and that not only makes you feel tired and sluggish, but you will retain so much fluid by doing that it's not even funny.
Like 5+ lbs of water weight.
I actually in the past week put on almost 10 lbs from water retention, and in the last 48 hours I've managed to rehydrate and sweat or use the restroom to rid myself of all the extra fluids.
Sodium ( salt ) can make everything taste so good, but it's the devil when it comes to packing on water weight quickly. Carbs in excess..(breads, pastas, and rice) can absorb even more of that and retain, adding on the weight right after eating a big feast like at Thanksgiving, or going out at your favorite restaurant.
We have one more holiday to cruise though before it's 2015 and I'm not sure I'm 100% ready mentally for that. I mean, this year has flown by SO fast!
So, talking to my husband who is also my part-time workout partner...
We both agreed that we were going to do an Advocare cleanse in the first of the year.
I've done these twice and they always make me feel pretty good at the end of the 10 days it lasts.
It removes all the gunk built up over time in your system and cleans you out... kinda like draino for a clogged sink pipe!
You function better and feel better too.
Our kids take gymnastics, as well as taekwondo and the schools have no affiliation with each other, but both use and support the Advocare products because they really work!
I'm also going to order some more Spark because early mornings are sometimes hard for me after editing photos all night (I'm a photographer here in Houston) and I just need an extra kick without having the crash or jitters later. And spark tastes really good and comes in tons of flavors. I love the fruit punch. The pink lemonade is pretty tasty too. :)
Here is the link for the cleanse if any of you are wanting to join me and my husband a few other people who have already ordered ahead of time to do this in the beginning of the new year.
And Spark!
The first time I did the cleanse, I lost 8 lbs at the 10 day marker, and I also learned how to eat properly after. All the toxins from crappy foods had flushed so I had a good, clean start. And it's gentle on your body.
Let me know if you're wanting to jump in!
My goals right now are to get out of the 160-165 weight range and be at 150-155 ultimately.
Put some new muscle on and finish tightening in some of my trouble areas which are around my inner thigh, under arm, and love handle region.
I'll post NEW progress photos either tonight or tomorrow.
Also, anyone on Instagram?
Follow me on there: Momma C's IG!
Have a blessed 1st day of December!
