Peak Cleanse: 120 Days!

Summer is well underway and we have officially been living our new healthy lifestyle for 123 days! This morning I weighed in at 182 pounds- I am so close to my goal of 160. I have “released” a total of 53 pounds!

I have some more before and after pictures to share. Now when we took the ones from 90 days, I absolutely LOVED those pictures. Whenever I looked at them, I would be so excited and encouraged. Well when we took the 120 day pictures last Saturday, I decided it was time for an outfit change. So I switched to much tighter spandex shorts and a new smaller tank top. I still prefer the 90 day pictures, but the new outfit will keep me motivated to lose the last 22 pounds.

Besides feeling better and having more energy and patience with my children, I have enjoyed some other highlights of shedding toxins and body fat. I will share a few of them with you. One of my favorites is how encouraging and complimentary my husband has been. A funny example is when we went to Hebron High School to watch fireworks. We meet up with friends there every year and as tradition, the dads do a Dairy Queen run before the fireworks start. My least favorite part of this fun night is the PORTA POTTY! Of course this was the first year that the twins were not in diapers. And of course one of them needed to go to the bathroom before Jason was back with the ice cream. So I set off with 4 children and it was as awful as you can imagine. I’ll spare you the nasty details and the gagging. As we were making our way back across the huge parking lot, I spotted my hubby. On the walk back I was giving him the stare. With my intense look, I was attempting to communicate how much I disliked the trip to the bathroom and that Porta Potties would not be part of my 4^th of July next year. When I finally reached him, he said, “Wow..watching you walk back here reminded me of our college days.” Apparently he didn’t get my stare message but I didn’t mind one bit!! He totally caught me off guard and I loved hearing him say that. Who knows…I might even take the kids to the bathroom again next year…

Also it was so fun to post wedding pictures on Facebook when we celebrated 12 years of marriage last week. I NEVER would have done that in the past because my wedding pictures just reminded me that I had grown not only older but a lot heavier. Thank you for all the affirming comments! They brought me so much joy and encouragement.

I am SO THANKFUL that back in March we invested in our health and our future. 

Peak Cleanse: A Late 90 Day Update!

Where does the time go?? I've been wanting to blog and give a 90 day update. But here we are almost a month later, and this Saturday will be 120 days. WOW! So I thought I'd do a quick blog and share my 90 day before and after photos with you. We are doing well, and somewhere in the last 90 days, our new healthy lifestyle has become the normal way of life for us. This is a great place to be. When Jason took my 90 day pictures on June 11th, I was worried there wouldn't be a big difference from my 60 day photos. The same thing happens when I weigh myself on Wednesday mornings! I worry there won't be any progress because eating healthy and feeding myself great nutrition is the new norm. It's so awesome to see what my body does when I take great care of it. This morning I weighed in and was down another 5 pounds. So as of today I have released 48.2 POUNDS!!! I still can't believe it! Please let me know if you would like to know more about this awesome cleansing system. It's all about feeding yourself super nutrition and cleansing the toxins out. Looking forward to posting 120 day results. Hopefully I can get those posted before another 30 days goes by!
