Nothing Is Working- Time for Drastic Action

So i stepped in the scales and i am now 80.6kg! i am depressed. I have managed to put on more weight and nothing i am doing is working.

I tried cutting out carbohydrates, not eating late at night, having more vegetarian meals.....i don't know what else to do but to do a cleanse and i hate hate detox's but it s a good way to jump start the body for weight loss.

Now i have tried the master cleanse and juicing and the latter is easier, the master cleanse is brutal! i mean drinking lemon juice with maple syrup for 10 days is no joke. And the salt water flush...eeek

Anyways, I've decided to do a more gentle approach, from tomorrow am trying a half-detox. Break fast and lunch will be something healthy and dinner is a green smoothie or fruit smoothie. Also aim to go to the gym 3 times this week, i will weigh in on Sunday, lets hope i shift at least one pound by then. 

To make myself accountable, i will take pictures of all my meals and upload then here as well as my daily calorie intake here! i know, i going to be blogging 7 days straight! You can add me on myfitnesspal if you are there, my profile is onyx2010. 

Have a lovely week xx

I have a confession to make!

Remember how I wrote a while back that I was starting to workout?  Well folks I lied L.

I have been going through a lot emotionally in my personal life and though I like change, it is still never an easy process.  Don’t get me wrong the change has been amazing and given me another reason to be in awe of my God!  Nevertheless going through a change is not easy, as you have to go through your own emotional baggage which TD Jakes aptly described in one of his sermons as junk in the trunk!

Anyways today is a beautiful Saturday and for the weirdest reason I have woken up with a new leash of life!  How or why I cannot tell you and then I get reminded, oh oh Elle you have not worked out L.  I decided to surf some channels on TV and came across ‘Biggest Loser where are they now’ and it has inspired me big time J.  Don’t you just love the Biggest Loser show?  I watch it and cry with the contestants, feel their pain and their story and then I’m inspired by their victory.

So I thought about myself and my fitness goals. To be honest I have been avoiding this blog because I know that I have not done what I set out to do but Hey I’m only human!  Though I must say that, I have not been too bad, as I have been eating healthy and trying out new recipes.  As a result, I have lost a kilo Yay!!.   But I need to start working out big time!  I am a big believer of trying out new things but you know how when it gets to working out and one keeps procrastinating?

So folks let’s all put action to our words and just Do It!!!!!

I am gonna start and update you as I go on.  Let’s all do it together and most of all let’s complete it!!!!!

Wishing you all a productive and healthy weekend.

xoxo
