Today, Internet Audience, I am starting a drastic change. Hopefully, I can hack it. I've never fully been happy with my weight - except for when I was boxing a lot or when I was playing on three soccer teams at once. I like to eat. So, I like to eat lots and work out lots and have it not only balance out, but keep me fit. Friends, I'm not exaggerating when I say, it's nearly been a year since I've worked out heavily -- and it wasn't even consistent. I worked out (back in Santa Barbara) with my old boxing coach about 3 times over the Christmas break. That's it.
Lately, I've felt not only been completely unhealthy with what I eat, but with my lack of exercise as well. I feel like I'm destroying my organs. My muscles are atrophied. I get winded walking up my four flights of stairs. The last time I exerted myself was during my impromptu dash through Manhattan during B's visit. I've caught myself in the mirror a few times when I'm in my skimmies and am seriously disgusted. I need to change - for my weight, for my health, for my self-image...
I'm too lazy at this point to get back into boxing because I know how intense it can be - and I know my competitive self, and could never do it just for recreation. So, friends, I've started the Master Cleanser. I used to fast (incorrectly) in high school. Thus, I know I can go a day or two at least without eating. However, the Master Cleanser is a detox "diet"/fast in which you only drink water mixed with lemon juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper (all have specific, nutritional purposes to keep me healthy) for 10 days!
I can do it, though. I need to do something drastic like this in order to kick start healthier eating, and hopefully a healthier lifestyle. I've talked to a few people who have done the fast and read the small book. I think I can do it. Will you help me, Internet Audience? Leave me texts or comments or call or something and tell me to keep going! I start today and hopefully will end Sunday, September 16th. Your support would be much appreciated!
So far, as I sip on my first glass, it tastes pretty good actually. I'm just worried I'll get hungry. (Seeing as though I already am). I, also, hope this gives me enough energy and I don't feel all woozy and faint-ish whilst I fast. However, If I do, I'll just concoct another glass and fill myself up on this detox liquid instead of greasy burgers.
As you can see from the photographical evidence, I've gone from Badass to Flabass and, hopefully, I'll go back again. Now, don't get me wrong, I don't think being 5'3" and nearing 140 pounds makes you fat, but I have fat parts about me and I'm not liking them. I know I'm not fat, but I boxed at 125 and being 139 and soft is a little - okay a lot! - unsettling. So, please help and wish me luck!
Take care, kids!
