Acai Berry - Cont..

What a bunch of crap all this ACAI Diet is. Nooooo not REALLY but... I think the Acai berry definitely all by itself has great health benefits and definitely supresses the appetite but I'm not sure about the weight loss and I basically feel like the only reason you lose weight in access quickly is because you are pooping EVERYTHING you eat out - which is realllly rare for me since I don't normally have that *eh hem* problem... Usually I go many days with out going to the bathroom and I am not physically or emotionally bothered by this fact.

So I am going to continue taking the Acai berry until it's gone as I bought it, and I do think it's great to take, but I do not think it's a HEYYYYY this is an awesome. I think what we all know is that there is no REAL miracle diet and if there was a miracle diet than a lot of people wouldn't really be fat would they? Not that I ever thought it was, but I figured it couldn't hurt and I needed motivation...

My weight loss has halted - I haven't gained and I haven't lost as of now. I am trying to eat little to NO sugar - not counting bread and what not. No Syrup on Cake Cakes (as my son would call them) No desserts, No Ice Cream (via a pack my husband and I made - no ice cream til jamaica) Uhmm let's see. I'm also doing 15 minute abs almost every morning that I have the time. I'm also trying to do bike rides 3 times a week. BUt I have BASICALLLY stopped taking the Colon Clenze because after a lot of research I have done - I think the whole colon cleanse idea is pretty much crap - for a TRUE colon cleanse you are not supposed to eat food often, and it's supposed to be done for a week or two to clean out your body, and it can not get clean if you keep on eating and pooping - so kinda a circle. Now you obviously are going to lose weight if you poop a lot.

Oh hey... I forgot to tell you - Everytime I said poop - you were supposed to take a drink! POOP POOP - Eeew!

Out for today guys, but hang in with me - because I WILL be lighter before my trip - even if it's just by a couple more lbs and some firm up in areas I need it like my tummy and my butt and thighs.

Peace out

Day 6 - Acai

I KNOW I KNOW.... Day 6 and where are all the days in the middle? Well let me just tell you for about Day 3 and 4, I REALLY didn't want to TALK about it if you know what I mean. Let's just say I thought I was being nice by sparing you the details. The uh... Colon Clenze kicked in about Friday Evening and lasted til Saturday mid day. Ha... It was very uncomfy for a few hours there on Friday evening, but looking back that really was the worst of it.

I knocked the colon clenze pills down for 2 days - to only ONE - taken at night only before bed.
Now i'm back to taking it morning & night but I am definitely NOT sure about it. It's cleaning me out but it seems to me that it's more making me go number 2 than cleansing me.

Now for the Acai - It seems great, I'm not sure if it's mental or not - but do we ever REALLY know that? I seem to have more energy - not all the tme, but a small burst. I also have definitely noticed the past 2 days a decrease in just general snacking - especially for unhealthy things - which is GREAT. Even through a raging eh hem.. * PMS cycle* I still managed to only cheat one evening with ONE - yes I promise - ONE piece of chocolate cake with a glass of wine. I didn't even want another piece so great news on that front.

So today I'm wrapping this up. I weighed in this morning 143.8 lbs - I feel less bloated today and my pants fit great today!! I am going to stay off the scale til Friday and let's hope there is SOME Loss there!

Oh P.S - I bought an Acai Berry Juice at Super Supplements and drank it on Saturday about 11:30 and it was very interesting tasting and felt like it suppressed my appetite til dinner. The real berry is supposed to be known as the chocolate covered cherry of the amazon, and it did taste like a healthy chocolate flavor.

P.S.S - BYEEEE

Acai Berry - My Personal Trial - Day I

This morning I took 1 colon cleanse pill and 1 Acai Berry Pill

I feel energized but it's because I'm excited for this little mission whether it works or not! You are supposed to be able to feel a different within 4 days - More energy, More Controlled Appetite, and shedding water weight and bloat - We shall see.

Acai Berry - Wonderful Creation or Crap?

So this is how it will all begin....

Laying in my bed at 6am, I roll over grab my Google Phone to check time and see I have a new Email. I open it up, see it's from my husband and another link - he sends me many links, I get to where I don't even really read the emails I just click the link (sorry babe).

So this one is like "I lost 47 lbs with Acai Berry - You Can TOO".

I spend about 5 minutes wondering if my husband is trying to tell me I'm fat, than I read on - this ladies story about how she says if you take Acai Berry Supplements combined with Colon Cleanse you will lose weight. Lots of Celebrities are doing it, blah blah. My husband says let's try it together, just for fun.

Well if you know ME - you know that I'm not down with Diet Pills - especially unsafe or unnatural pills. You do not get things for free in this life, and nothing comes with out side effects. Call it half empty people - but this is me, and I call it realistic!

Well after reading and researching about this berry, and scrolling through about 15 different websites claiming that you can get "FREE TRIALS" I decide - those are not for me because nothing is FREE - and I was right, all of them give you a free month supply but continue to charge your credit card if you don't cancel RIGHT AWAY, and you only actually have 14 days to cancel. After that they charge your card anywhere from 50-90 dollars MONTHLY!

DONT BE STUPID PEOPLE. Aside from this research I did, I found great great stories of great results, from women and men alike, and no side effects really.

So I drove myself to Fred Meyer - and purchased my first bottle of Acai Berry for 13.99 - they are 1200 mg and all natural, no sugar, no crapola added in - many of the kinds online add in Green Tea Extract and other unknown energy burning claims, for about triple the cost and hassle of shipping charges. Just go to your regular supplement store and ask at the counter or go to Fred Meyer...

Anyways this is my journey. I will post 1-2 times daily about how I feel on it, any side effects and if it's working. Now for some HONESTY: I have 2 children less than 2 years apart. My youngest is 11 months old, and I just stopped breastfeeding.. I'm 5'4 with a medium to smaller Frame. My doc says anywhere from 115lbs - 145 lbs is MY personal healthy range.

Today I weigh 146 lbs. I have gained 5 lbs since stopping breast feeding. I was literally 140 and losing 2 weeks ago when I was still breastfeeding... BTW Guys & Non Baby People - Breastfeeding burns 600-1000 calories per day depending on several factors, when you stop your body all of a sudden is like bleh. I can only compare it to maybe stopping smoking and breaking your leg at the same time than trying to diet? HA

Soooo, Call it a diet, Call it a Cleanse... We'll find out. Follow my progress if you are interested or find some fascination with my ramblings...and don't pick on my grammar, this isn't a book and I don't have an editor in my pocket....

Anyways I'm wrapping this one up:

Starting Weight 146, Height 5'4, I wear a size 7 or 9 pants. I wear a size 6 dress. Probably a medium in shirt size.

My Goal Weight 130 lbs by September 30th . After that I would like to be 125 as a general weight. I want to keep my boobs and curves a bit.

All you skinny bitches - shut up. This is MY GOAL and it's great for me, and it's what I feel like I look the best at. I also want to just feel healthy and get the toxins out of my body.

Signing off for now!

P.S I'm going to Jamaica in 40 Days.
