Holy Tea

I started the Holy Tea cleanse on Saturday. I only had one glass of it that day. I had it right after breakfast, and that was not a good idea. I wasn't used to the taste, and it was ice cold. It hit my stomach hard, and I gagged on it. I couldn't even finish the last swallow. I guess I just wasn't ready for such a strong taste. I have no problems with it at all now. I sweeten it with a little honey, and it tastes great. I've started to notice the effects today (if you know what I mean). I was afraid to pick up Abby and go to the store. Nothing happened and I survived. It seems like a good thing so far. I'm anxious to see the changes in me over the next couple of weeks.

Tara's Short Term Goals

I am going to lose 5 pounds by the end of June. (Good goal Gwen)
I will walk on the treadmill for 30 min. 5 times a week.
I will keep up on my water drinking and add more fruits and veggies to my diet.
I will work in the yard at least 30 min. a day.

I better stop there. There are a lot more things I could add, but I want to start small.

Current weight 175.
June 30th weight 170.

Gwen's Goals

I think that my short term goals will be:
To lose 5 pounds by the end of June.
To start getting up at 6 to walk on the treadmill.
I will also start doing my recumbant bike for at least 30 minutes each night while watching my nightly tv!
I am also going to start tracking my calories again with sparkpeople and sending you guys my daily food email.
I am also going to start eating more whole foods.
And cooking.
Who knows, maybe I'll lose more than 5!
Today's weight: 166.5
End of June goal weight: 161

Lipo Dissolve

I'm going to be extremely brave here and post my fun lipo dissolve pictures. I did it last thursday. I took these pictures on friday. This first one shows how swollen I get. I look like I'm 4-5 months pregnant! (I'm not) This next one shows the swelling, and bruising and you can see some of the fluid under the skin. Sorry you have to see my fat belly!
I'll post another picture of the results. I've been really happy with my results so far. This one was my 8th round. I'm 100% convinced that it is the reason I've lost my weight. It has also helped my stretch marks to look better and it has helped tighten my skin.

WOW

Congratulations! Gwen, your weight loss is awsome!!
Those are things you are supposed to tell us so we can all be motivated too! Good job!
I just have to add that Settings is under Customize on the main page. I was confused for a second there and couldn't find it. hehe
I am so glad you guys like the idea of the blog. I am excited to see it unfold with all our get healthy stuff.
Love you guys!

Posting

Hey! When you go in you can set yourself up to post as yourself so everyone knows who is posting. Go to Settings then, Permissions, then Add Authors. Send yourself an email. You have to have a gmail account but then you show as yourself. It may make things a little less confusing. Good luck!

I'm excited to have this for posting progress, etc. Maybe I'll be brave and post some pictures of what I look like after I do the lipo dissolve. It's not too pretty but it's worth it. I've lost about 25-27 pounds (depending on the day!). I started with you guys at 189 and I am down to 161-163 (again, depending on the day).
