Looks like I’m on the ½ pound a day weight loss plan – but hey I’m not complaining that gets me to 9½ pounds total. Seems like I have stopped having fatigue since I began drinking the B Monster drinks so that is very good news. I am totally sick of the soups that I have been making. I think not having enough soup choices is a problem, we really need better recipes and I’m sure that’s possible because Dr. Roni must be making a fortune off her 21 pounds in 21 days book – seems like everyone is reading it, she should be able to hire a chef to design some better choices and get them online. I’m getting to the point where I really want this diet to end and with 8 more days it’s getting old. I am so ready for some real food, but the strange thing is that on this diet I have been able to have self control where I never have before on any other diet, so I guess it’s on to tomorrow, Kate

Lost ½ pound today, so total is now 9 pounds. I am so happy to be losing even if it is in small increments at least it’s something more than I have ever done before. My son and husband made a comment the other night I thought was interesting, they both said on this diet I don’t seem irritable or grumpy at all. I guess on most diets I get a bit edgy not having food, this one I seem to feel full all day and I’m not experiencing the bad side effects of moodiness. I hate to admit it but I’m sure it’s all the nutrients in those ghastly drinks that helps keep me full. So I will continue chugging along with those nasty drinks until the end. I do have to admit that I am actually walking almost every day where before I started this program I would say I would walk but always found reasons for not doing it. Walking actually helps keep me motivated and I don’t dread it like I use to. I guess that’s because I’m losing weight and it just seems natural now unlike before where I wasn’t losing any weight and walking just didn’t take an important role in my life at that time. So here’s to more walking and a healthier living style in my future. Kate

Well here it is the ½ way point of the diet. I lost another ½ pound so total is now 8 ½ pounds. I noticed on other blog sites that people hit a plateau or gained a little back sometime during their diet which was reassuring to me during the last couple of days. The B Monster drink from last night really picked me up and today I’m feeling great, not fatigued at all. I’m chugging my green drinks now, seems easier for me to get them down and I don’t seem to dread it as much as before. I’m over the hump and on the downhill slide now, yea! Kate

Lost the ½ pound I gained yesterday, so yahoo to that news. Still down 8 pounds, but clothes are definitely fitting better. Still fatigued but I think it’s because I only drink 3 of the drinks a day and sometimes only 2, I just can’t handle more than that. I didn’t have a chance to walk today, so will have to go out really early tomorrow, suppose to hit 99 around here. Tonight I’m going to drink the B Monster fruit drink by Odwalla, it is loaded with vitamin B and I think that will give me the extra energy I need and it is delicious. Well another day down, only 11 to go –whew! Kate

Well I gained ½ pound today. I just don’t know how it’s possible to gain weight on this diet, we’re only consuming maybe 1000 calories and we have to be burning at least 1800 oh well, maybe it’s just water weight. The berry drink made me feel sick again this morning, so I must drink it a lot slower – yuck.
Really tired of the diet today. We went to the movies and it wasn’t the popcorn that called to me, but the restaurants we passed that smelled so good, coming home to the soup was just unappetizing. I’m still fatigued, not sure why but lack of energy for sure. Well that’s my disappointing news for today, Kate

Okay, this is absolutely unbelievable that I have now lost 8 pounds. I have never before lost that much weight in a week or I think even in a month, this is terrific. I’m not hungry and I’m not sick to my stomach anymore since I started diluting the berry splash drink a lot more.
I have been making some changes to the plan. I always add 4 ounces of apple juice to the green drinks and that definitely helps get them down. I also found that eating the lentil soup keeps me really full, I think that’s from all the protein lentils have, so I’m going to continue with that soup until I’m just sick of it. A few days ago I added fresh watermelon in the evening replacing one of the drinks, just a small bowl of it, it is wonderful and it practically melts in your mouth, so I figure it’s not going to hurt the diet. I’m much happier knowing I have that little watermelon to look forward to at day’s end.
I’m not doing any of the enemas but I am going to the Colon Hydrotherapist for the 4 times she has scheduled. Actually, I went 2ce in the first week because that’s what the hydrotherapist recommended, so I will actually be going 5 times. I’m keeping up with my walking, but really leisurely because of the heat, it is really hot, today it’s in the high 90’s. Another day down, yea, Kate

Woke up feeling good. I lost ½ pound today, so total is now up to 7 pounds – I am really happy about that and for the first time I think I can actually feel the weight loss, a little more comfortable around my stomach and clothes aren’t quite as tight. Drank the berry drink with 12 ounces of water instead of 8 ounces and that really did the trick – thanks Sonya for the recommendation to dilute a little more. Drinking with more of a positive attitude now, even though I still hate the way they all taste, I look at it as medicine that will make me better at the end, so that helps. Had to grocery shop today, that was so hard, the food looked so yummy. I forgot to take my inner cleanse pills with my berry drink and it actually was the first time I have been hungry – it started about 10:00, so I guess that’s something I must remember to do each day. Walked today even though it’s in the 90’s, but it didn’t look like it was going to cool down anytime soon, so just went ahead and did it. I do feel energized when I get back, so that helps my spirit a lot. That’s it for day 7, Kate

I guess I can’t expect to lose weight every single day, although I would really like too. I received some good advice today and drank my berry splash slowly and added more water to it and don’t seem to be feeling sick, so I’m so glad about that. I hope this works for the rest of the detox.
Walked today, it was really hot but at least there was a nice breeze. I have had really low energy today, I had to really talk myself into the walk, but now I actually do feel a whole lot better.
Today has been a very tough day for me. I’m not hungry, but I really miss cereal, sandwiches and all the good stuff, surprisingly not any of the junk food, just real food. I saw my hydrotherapist today and I told her that I was already tired of the drinks and even the soups. She said I need to look at it a different way. She said that for someone who really wants to get healthy they need to think about the drinks as a good thing for their body. To look forward to it’s nourishment and to be ready for a healthier body when the detox is over. So I need to think positive and stop looking at the negative of “oh no, not another liquid drink”, but more that this is good for me and that the drinks aren’t forever, just a little clean up to the body and then when it’s over to start eating a healthier diet. So, I guess that’s what I need to start reinforcing to myself, although it is hard when it’s time for another one of those powder drinks. Kate

Lost another pound today, total 6 ½ pounds – not bad, actually great! I was again nauseas this morning and it seems to happen after I drink the Berry Splash drink. I haven’t been drinking that one at night instead I just drink a fruit drink, I really like the B Monster and the C Monster drinks by Odwalla and I feel like I’m giving myself a treat from all the powder stuff.
Couldn’t walk today, it’s over 95, just too hot. Tomorrow, I’m going to have to walk really early since it appears that we are in for a week of hot weather, they say it might even hit 100 tomorrow.
Made a pretty good soup tonight all in the crock pot, dry lentils, an onion, two tomatoes, little garlic, 2 carrots. It actually would have been really good if I could have added salt, so it was bland. I really wish the 21 Pounds in 21 Days book would offer a lot more soup recipes - that is definitely needed!!!
Pretty excited about the weight loss and can even tell my clothes seem to fit much better – yea! But, I have to be honest I am counting the days until it’s over. It’s a very easy diet as I’m not hungry, but I still wish I could munch and crunch and some pasta would be really nice right now. So, I just have to keep focused and pursue on to my dreams of really losing weight this time. Yea, day 5 is done, Kate

Lost ½ pound today, so down 5 ½ pounds. Wasn’t starving when I woke up this morning, so that is definitely good. But as soon as I had my drink I became nauseas and had to lie down for a ½ hour. Then I was fine for the rest of the day. Went out walking today and cut the grass, so a little exercise is good. The soup I made for dinner wasn’t very tasty, just a concoction of veggies I put together with some curry and I really didn’t like it – oh well, I’m going to drink some more fruit juice this evening. I’m going to have to look online for some soups, it’s only day 4 and I’m already sick of the veggie soup – want some real food, hope this passes soon. I’m also getting tired of the powder drinks – just not appetizing when you get up in the morning and know there’s not much going on for food except these powder concoctions and veggie soup. I did get my chi machine in the mail, I ordered one of the really cheap ones from Amazon and I actually like it, kind of restful. I have been reading others blogging about making it the whole 21 days and I really wish I was there, this is a hard day for me, hopefully tomorrow is better. It does help knowing others have made it and I’m hoping this blogging keeps me going. Well, that’s it for today 4, Kate
