Most of you know that I am making the decision to join the Military. If you don't know, now you know. I spoke to the Army Recruiter, got taped up, and was told that I need to lose at least 8% body fat before they will allow me to enlist ( then once I go to basic I'll lose a lot more, haha).
Monday morning I am beginning my All Liquid Diet. I started it Wednesday, but forgot we had a big 4th of July bash tonight on the 3rd (day early because of conflicting time schedules on the 4th) so I quit it, lol. Monday morning is going to come around and I am going to hit the ground running with this diet. Here is what I will be consuming:
Morning: 1QT of Sea Salt Water
Throughout the day: 6-12 8oz. glasses of a Lemonade Concoction
2 tblsp of Squeezed lemon juice
2 tblsp of Maple Syrup
8 oz. of water
1/8 tsp of Cayenne Pepper
Night before bed: a glass of Herbal Laxative Tea
Absolutely no solid foods for the duration of the diet. I haven't really determined how long I will be on this diet, but I know I am shooting for the 8% and whatever else I can lose in the process...It would be nice to lose this bowling ball I have around my gut.
So what I ask of you guys, I decided to jump on the blogging bandwagon. I will be discussing thoughts and feelings to try and cope with the absence of solid food and would love some support of my friends here on Xbox America to at least occasionally look in on my blog and leave some comments. One is already posted. Although this first one is a little rough, it will become more interesting come Monday morning. The link is
lifechangingquest.blogspot.com
It even has a link where you can "LIKE" it on facebook to help tell your friends and gain me even more support.
You don't have to, I'm just asking for some support because even though I am very determined to do this, it is going to be very tough.
Thanks To All My Friends Here
