Week One

I know it may seem like I abandoned my blog recently. Well, let's just say that Week One was NOT a success. :-( I did pretty well the first couple days, but then I went to a Japanese restaurant on Wednesday and it all went down hill from there. We have already had 3 BBQ's this holiday weekend, and I am headed out to another one today!

I lost 2.5 lbs the first few days, then I weighed myself today and it is all back on!!! UGH! I mean, no one to blame but myself. I love WW and I have seen this week that when I do stick to it, it will work...the only thing I am struggling with is the whole "It's a lifestyle" thing. Because if you have an event, like a BBQ, there isn't much you can eat to stay in points. Plus, the flex points add up QUICKLY! Oh well. This week I am going to give it another go.

A woman I work with told me she does a water clense every Monday. She eats only 5 apples ALL day, and then drinks water the rest of the day She says it's healthy because it isn't everyday, just the once a week. The fiber from the skin of the apples helps clean out her system and the water helps clean out toxins. She said it also helps jump start her diet. I am considering giving it a try and doing ww the remaunder of the week. They say that 1 lb of fat=1500 calories...so to cut out that many a week. This would accomplish that, but I am worried it is unhealthy? Did some researh, and it doesn't seem to be.....Any thoughts on this?

  1. Hehe..that's if you can pull it off. I don't see how I can survive on 5apples a day. I would literally collapse. Besides, I would not be able to fall asleep coz of hunger.

  2. Well, so far so good. I have had 2 apples and will have a 3rd around 2:00....I am surprisingly not that hungry?? However, it could be because I did have 2 cups of coffee and a TON of water.

  3. Apple diet--not so good. It was fine all day. I had two pieces of fruit all day at work, but when I got home I was STARVING and ate a burrito! lol...oops. Plus, I was so tired from lack of food that I couldn't even get the energy to work out...ugh, won't be doing that again anytime soon.

  4. LOL Heather..am not surprised. It hard for the body to survive on just apples. Some diets are bound to fail coz of their extremity. Are you still going to the gym?

  5. Yeah, that was a good jumpstart...I felt flushed with vitamins, but VERY VERY difficult. I am back on my WW now. Staying withing points. :-) I am still going to the gym, but since it's been so nice out, I have been tending to run instead.
