Do you ever have days that it feels like your stomach is a bottomless pit and you are being forced to eat and eat and eat until it’s full??!! Well….that’s what’s going on with me today – actually this entire week with the exception of Monday when I was sick:( Read More

You know the old saying “When life hands you lemons, made lemonade?” Well this week, I have made gallons of the stuff!! LOL I have been handed some pretty big lemons since Friday and it’s been a bittersweet weekend thru today! So the good news – the tree is bare and there are no more lemons due for a while. The bad news – I didn’t send you more information on “enriched” and “fortified” foods as promised and that I have to apologize for. Life’s funny that way – unexpected twists and turns with good and bad endings! It’s been a chaotic path this week however now that I have vented and used some pretty applicable analogies, here’s what you’ve been waiting for. Read More
So carb lovers – to eat or not to eat white rice – that is the question!!!
Hello all!!! Thank you so much for all of your comments and encouragement this week!! You all have been such a great support system!! I am sorry this is a day late, I was sick yesterday! I had a fever and was freezing all day! It was a bug that must have started over the weekend because I was feeling pretty drained on Friday – more than usual and more than I should have – and was around some “sickies” at the gym all week!!

Thursday – Day 4
Hey Y’all! THANK YOU for being with me on this journey this week!!!!
Wake up & Face the Day – 7:00am
Last time I ate – 8:30pm Monday night
Tina is feeling…..a little tired & a little hungry, just a little though
I have decided to make Thursday my fasting day until 8:30 dinner tonight. That will be 24 hours and very achievable. I feel this will be a good cleanse for me as I have eaten incredibly clean yesterday. I ate nothing processed, no protein shakes, protein drinks, no processed cheese – nothing! If God didn’t make it, I didn’t eat it!
Let me take a second to update you on my husband Paul’s journey. He is a very fit, active, big (muscles) guy! He hated Tuesday and felt miserable. He was fine during the day and felt very good with the exception of the afternoon blues. He was starving at 8:00pm when we normally eat dinner and had a headache, was extremely tired and crabby!
The total opposite of me! I was bouncing off the walls and feeling great!!! Perfect example of 1 Size Not Fitting All. He ate close to the ground yesterday with the exception of some grains for dinner last night. He actually wasn’t feeling like he needed to eat them but knew for the sake of having complex carbs he just WANTED THEM!!!!!! Big difference in NEED and WANT. It was totally fine with me and again this is HIS journey. He has decided to fast today until 8:30 dinner tonight, which is 24 hours.
He felt great fasting as far as the results he saw with his body. He felt cleansed and very lean. Continuing to eat very clean and natural also gave him energy. He did say that during his workout that he felt tired and weaker than normal after the 2nd round. He did attribute that to his body going thru changes and was perfectly fine with it. His joints did ache a bit and that was the toxins releasing, I will go into that more as well next Monday.
So there you have it!! Two totally different responses both with good and bad spots. Stay on track with what you are doing! Don’t make excuses for not eating healthy or not exercising. They really aren’t usually even necessary excuses; most of the time it’s just lazy on our part or putting other things before our health. It only takes 30 minutes to work out! Not doing it is us putting our health on the back burner and guess what, all of those “things” that we “had” to do won’t mean anything when you are not around to do them or too sick to do them, or don’t have the energy because you are carrying around 20, 30, 40 or more extra pounds(REMEMBER I was 65 pounds overweight, struggled my entire life – I am not preaching, I just want to help and show you that it doesn’t have to always be that way)!!!!! Just start with 3 days of exercise per week!! It will make a HUGE difference in your entire life!!!!!!
