Memorial Day 2

In order to celebrate the many women who gave their lives for our freedom I decided to have a cookout which included 2 of my family members who both served in the war! 



My friend Melissa made some beautiful and delicious desserts for the festivities!!!! They were Amazing!!!

Everybody just enjoyed each other's company and had loads of fun!!!

Everyone is asking that I make it an annual event because they had so much fun!!!

Memorial Day Weekend- 2012

Well I am still trying to recoup from an Amazing Memorial Day Weekend!!! I decided to celebrate the Holiday wtih a trip to the Beach in Hampton VA with the kids and friends and we all had a blast!!!!

I definitley left the beach with a nice tan! Can't wait until our next beach trip!

Results

Well fellow bloggers I wanted you to know the results from myu 7 day detox diet.  I lost 4lbs and 1 inch off of my waist line!  It's not what I wanted to lose I was hoping for more but anything is better than nothing and it definitely gives me push to continue on my weight loss journey!!!!

Final Day of 7 Day Detox Diet

Well I made it!!!! I'm on Day 7 of my 7 Day Detox diet and I feel awesome!!! Today is the day to eat my miracle soup all day which is much like vegetable soup and it tastes GREAT!




I know my blog is short this morning but tomorrow will be the Big weigh in so until then stay motivated to do whatever it is you have you mind set to do fellow bloggers!!!

Day 6 of 7 Day Detox Diet

So I have survived and made it to Day 6 of the 7 Day Detox Diet! I am so excited today because in getting ready for church I was able to fit into a dress that I purchased over a month ago that didn't quite fit but I kept because I was determined to lose the weight



Well today I can successfully say that I fit into that dress very nicely!  I can definitely notice a change in my waistline which is GREAT!!!



So today I have eaten roasted turkey and sauteed tilapia with sauteed veggies and the tilapia was my favorite I must say!!!



Well looking forward to tomorrow which is day 7.  I have to cook the Miracle Soup tonight so I can eat off of that tomorrow.  Well until tomorrow fellow bloggers!!!

Day 5 of 7 Day Detox Diet

Well I survived another day on my 7 day detox diet.  I will say living on banana's and yogurt all day was the hardest day of all!!! In total I ate 4 banana's and 4 yogurts.  Even though it was hard, I woke up feeling refreshed and energized!



So today I can eat chicken or turkey and 6 tomatoes.  Last night I went and picked up a rotisserie chicken and a rotisserie turkey from the grocery store so that I would have them when I woke up this AM

Chicken



I have already eaten one of my 6 tomatoes I must eat today and I love tomatoes so definitely looking forward to that!!!




Well after today only 2 days left on my detox diet, I'm excited about my continued journey on weight loss as well as seeing the final results of this detox diet!  Until tomorrow fellow bloggers!

Day 4 of 7 Day Detox Diet

Well I am 1/2 way through this Detox diet and I must say yesterday was a little rough.  I had a pounding headache



And next thing I know I fell asleep for 2 hours




But today I woke up feeling GREAT!!!! I don't think I have had this much energy when I woke up in a very long time!!!! So today I can eat up to 8 banana's



and either 8 glasses of skim milk or fat free yogurt.  I chose the yogurt instead of the milk.



I love banana's so looking forward to today's menu!!!! Until tomorrow fellow bloggers. 

Day 3 of 7 Day Detox Diet

Well today is Day 3 of my 7 day detox diet.  I must say I am exhausted.  I don't know if this is a side effect but my eyes are very weak when the sun is out in the morning! 



Yesterday was definitely harder than Day 1 since I was living on only vegetables.  Thankfully today I can have fruits and veggies today which is better so gives me a little variety in my meal today.







I will say I feel really good, no bloating as I normally am and mentally I feel relaxed as well.  Well until tomorrow fellow bloggers!!

Day 2 of 7 Day Detox Diet

Well I survived day one of this 7 day detox diet and actually I woke up this morning feeling refreshed and wasn't hungry at all!!!  So now I am into day 2 and I allowed a baked potato for breakfast with a slice of butter



And the rest of the day I can only eat vegetables either raw or cooked and drink.  I made a delicious stir fry last night which consisted of asparagus, red peppers, green peppers, onion and garlic and a tiny bit of olive oil (is allowed) and I know that's going to taste yummy!!!



Also, I am allowed one of my favorite veggies AVACADO, I did add a little lime so that it didn't brown on me before I ate it!





I'm looking forward to seeing how I will feel after today.  Well until tomorrow have a Great day everyone!  Oh and don't forget to drink ton's of water while on this detox diet!!!

Day 1 of 7 Day Detox Diet

Well today is day 1 of my 7 day detox diet I am starting.  I have been so nervous because all I can eat today is Fruit!




I went to the grocery store last night and got as much fruit as possible and made a huge fruit salad to eat off of all day as well as cut up some individual fruits to have just in case.  I'm hoping this is going to make me feel great and get all the bad stuff out so my weight loss efforts can really be seen and felt!

Wayyy too long

I'm back! I know it's been a long time since I have blogged but one thing that has been keeping me busy has been that fact I decided to go back to school and obtain my MBA!!

Also, both the boys Little A and Big A have been playing soccer this Spring and I have been enjoying hanging out at the soccer field watching them play their hardest.  I'm such a proud Mom!

So now we are entering in summer time and I have decided it's time to take care of me and get some of this weight off so tomorrow I will be starting a 7 Day Detox Diet



Within the last 3 weeks I have lost 4lbs but I think this will be a great jump start to my weight loss plan to get me ready and motivated especially since swim suit season is beginning! I will blog daily on how I feel with this plan so if you decide to try it you will know what to expect.

Feeling great after this blog until tomorrow which will be titled: Day 1 of 7 Day detox diet
