Day 4 started off like any other day! I woke up, did my measurements, had my tea and so forth. It was not until the evening that I have to confess dragged me down the wrong path. But I'll get to my sin a little later on in the blog! Day 4's smoothie was called Berry Peachy and it wasn't very Peachy at all. It was more raspberry and I was not fond of this one. I think the kale gave it a different taste too. The other three days I used spinach and mixed greens. It was very pretty though! |
My measurements were about the same except my weight:
Weight- 132 lbs
Thighs- 23inches
Hips- 39inches
Waist- 27inches
Biceps- 11inches
Total weight loss on day 4 is.....DRUM ROLL PLEASE.....2.4 pounds! So I like to think that that is actually in 3 days since I weigh myself as soon as I get out of bed the next day... no judgement from the peanut gallery :p

I am also happy to announce that the new DETOX tea I purchased the other day is far superior to the other CRAP I was drinking :) I made a point to read the box for the key word SPICE and thankfully this brand had no such evilness to it!
OK... so now to my shamefulness.... It pains me dearly to say that I cheated yesterday! Yes this time I full blown cheated. But I have to mention that my husband is sort of responsible for my defeat. You see... he has been having this increasingly deep desire for Dominos Pepperoni extra shredded Provalone cheese PIZZA?!?!?!?! He ordered a large last night and I tell you, he opened up the box in the living room, walked past me while I was in the chair and the aroma just hit me like a hurricane wind! It was intoxicating to say the least. I seriously fought hard. It took me a good 10 minutes before I caved and had not one but TWO pieces!
I know! I'm horrible, no sense of self control... shun me now!!! I deserve it.....
But dang it, it was warm, chewy, and delicious!!!! I regret it YES but it was worth the regret I feel.
This decision I made is common. Many people end up cheating and feel bad for doing so. The BIGGEST choice though is NOT deciding to cheat BUT deciding to CONTINUE ON!
Just because I cheated on day 4 and had 2 slices of pizza DOES NOT mean I'm quitting my journey. I am going to continue through. Even after eating the pizza I made sure I finished my last smoothie AND finished up with 95oz of H20. A speed bump in the road IS NOT a cliff to my death.
So for all of you reading this who may be on some kind of journey for yourself, I hope this brings you some comfort or enlightenment that it is OK to cheat, to fall of the bandwagon a meal or a day. But just put that train back on its tracks right after and continue moving forward <3
OK so Nate was home yesterday and we did some running around and I actually forgot to take my close up before putting on mascara and taking it in the normal place I do so this picture may not be the best to add to the pile but oh well :) So time to get up close and personal with yours truly!
