DAY 9 - I MADE IT!!!

DAY 9 - THE END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So yesterday was the last day of the cleanse...and today I am officially DONE!!!

My schedules from the last 9 days!

Yesterday was the hardest of them all I think! I just didn't want do it anymore! I woke up just wanting to eat. Just simply have a meal. I was hungry, and tired, and just done! It took everything in me to push through the day! But I did it!!!!

I can't believe I finished the whole thing and practically perfect too!
I feel really good about following through with the whole plan and sticking to the program, I've really never been able to do something like this my whole life!

Even though this cleanse changed me a bit physically, I think it changed my thinking even more.
I think it did give me a confidence in knowing that I can fight temptations, that I can have control and make good choices. That for me was almost just as important as losing a little bit of weight.
As nervous as I am in moving forward...I know I can do it. I know I can continue to make good food choices and work towards having a healthy lifestyle!!

Below are my final measurments! Officially I lost 10lbs. in 9 days!
D took some before pics, but I'm no where near ready to even look at them!

Well there they all are!  I'm really nervous about moving forward now. D and I have talked a lot this week about what the next step is..salads for dinner...don't jump back in, hold of a bit on dairy...portion control portion control portion control.....alcohol, I just cleansed out my system so do I really want to put it back in?!?

It's the snacking during the day that always gets me...however, I'm going to fill my house of up with fruits and lean proteins, lentils..beans..greens...the works! That will help with the temptations!


I know I'm not perfect, and I know I will make mistakes, and give in at times, and that's okay. I'm a work in progress...as we all are right!?

Thank you for all of the support, comments, and encouragement!
I appreciate it so much!




Huge thanks especially to D and my hubs...You each helped me so much in your own special ways
 and I know I wouldn't have gotten thru these last 9 days without you!

No matter what obstacles you are facing right now..big or small, you will make it through!
Sometimes it's taking it one moment at a time, and I know sometimes those moments are the hardest, but you will always get through them!

Cheers to the end of a new experience and the success that came with it!
Go me and go you!
Our dreams are worth it and the hard work does pay off!

 With that I leave you...I'm pretty tired and can't wait to sleep!
Thank you again for keeping me motivated!
