Day 1~ Metabolism Miracle

Okay, so today is day 1 of the Metabolism Miracle. I am going to go through an 8 week detox so that my body can quit being overloaded on the carbs and sugar and then reteach it how to process them effectively so that I can lose weight.

I'm not supposed to weigh myself for the entire 8 week detox because the weight can fluctuate so much, but I just don't see that happening. I will have to do at least every 2 weeks and do the measurements monthly. I will not be taking a new picture. I'm going to wait 1 month from now, after the first month of Metabolism Miracle.

Here are my stats from this morning along with the recommended measurements that the book says you should take~

BMI~ 34.6
Weight~ 159.8
Neck~ 14.5"
Chest~ 44.5"
Bra line~ 39"
Waist~ 42.5"
Hips~ 47"
Right thigh~ 24.5"
Left thigh~ 24"
Right calf~ 15"
Left calf~ 15"
Right ankle~ 9"
Left ankle~ 8.75"
Right upper arm~ 13"
Left upper arm~ 12"
Right wrist~ 6.25"
Left wrist~ 6"


According to my original measurements I took a couple of weeks ago I am -.5" in my waist, -.25 in my hips, and my arms & thighs are about the same. 
It helps me to feel like I at least did some good.

L~ oven roasted chicken wrap w/avocado, tomato, cheese; cauliflower w/ranch

I feel like I'm dying. I seriously don't know if I have the will power to make it through the withdrawals. This sucks. I just want a big fat bowl of sugar. Or a bagel. Anything. I don't know how anyone makes it through this. But knowing this is my mindset, after reading the book, I am definitely Metabolism B and I need this book. But it is going to be heck making it through these first few days.
I'm also worried that I will get bored of eating the same foods. I'm not much of a meat eater and I don't care for a lot of different kinds of vegetables. So I have no idea what I'm going to eat. I think I need to go on the message boards and try to get some recipes.

Weigh in

Today's weigh in~ 159.8

Well, I am down from last week, but I still haven't caught up to where I first started. I'm really getting discouraged and I don't understand what is going on with my body.
I'm hitting The Metabolism Miracle hard today to get through reading it.

Weigh In

Exercise~ I had to work doing the evening childcare at church for our MOPS so I did not get a chance to workout tonight.

Well, I did my weigh in this morning and I am up to 161lbs. I am a little discouraged. I thought I did pretty well on my eating and I have definitely cut back on my portion sizes. I have certainly been making healthier food choices. I am trying not to get too down and keep moving forward, but it is hard when I thought I did well. I know I wasn't perfect and I didn't expect a loss, but I certainly wasn't expecting a gain.

I'm just trying to remember that I was sick at the beginning of the week and I didn't work out as much as I was hoping. But, since I was not exercising AT ALL, I had thought even the couple of times that I did would make a difference.

I did receive my book The Metabolism Miracle yesterday in the mail so I am going to start reading that.

I hope you are all having better weeks then I am.
