A new committment to myself

So I read my new Oxygen magazine and Fitness magazine and I've decided to make a really great committment to myself. This weekend I'm doing a 2 day fast (drink fast) to get myself cleansed away, Thursday my friend K and I are joining Weight Watchers and trying to keep each other on track. When we did it before we both did well (not WW but holding each other accountable) and I'm going to set my alarm for tommorow morning for 5:10 am so I can start getting back up early, I figure the weekend is the best time to start.

This is the year...according to my christmas present The Year Ahead for 2005 from the creator of (www.astrologyzone.com) this is my year to find a new love and to get my body in the best shape ever...so I figured in order to do that I need to get my fat arse off the couch and start taking better care of myself.

So as of January 1, 2005...I am officially back on the wagon!

This is what should all be about! Taking care of ourselves, not about pleasing anyone else but ourselves, not about what we look like but what we feel like!

So I lasted one day on the drink fast, I was so lightheaded by the evening I had to eat something...it was awful. I've done the fruit juice one (hollywood diet) thing and that never made me lightheaded but this one I got from beachbody and it really made me lightheaded, just wasnt' enough.

But I worked out both days and this morning at 5 am, my thighs are soooo sore. Slim in 6 is such a killer. But I'm going good, hopefully I can keep it up. Thursday I start WW. I'm pretty excited.

Saturday after working out, I showered and just had a burst of energy so took down all the christmas decorations and the tree and put everything away, I think that counted as a workout too, I was sweating my arse off when I was done.

Anyhow, just checking in.

Great start to the year Dee!! I've heard of a few people who get really lightheaded on those detox liquid diets....for me I know I wouldn't last long doing it.


Good Luck on Thursday, and again- good job!

Best Wishes for 2005
