T Minus One Day

Tomorrow will be my last day before I start my detox. I may aloe capsules and digestive enyzmes. Tomorrow I plan to get my water, vegetables and tea.

I have been allowing myself anything to eat or drink, but tomorrow I'll control myself with herbal tea, water, fruit and salad. I'll also weigh myself and take measurements tomorrow and will not do so again for 21 days. I also will keep record of how I'm feeling from day to day and see how much my health has improved.

Today: I feel extremely tired and bloated. My feet are still a problem and do hurt and have been having some difficult time walking. I'm looking forward to the changes to come and hope that I can control myself and follow through and beyond.

Package has been received

Yesterday I received my kit and I'm almost ready to go. I still have to pick up the digestive enzymes and the aloe capsules. I also have to get water and of course the vegetables for my soup. I was thinking of starting on Friday, but I think I'll hold off until Saturday. I know how my body is going to react the first day. Lots of liquids and no food....probably will involve a number of private moments in the bathroom. So I'm thinking it will be best to stay close to home.

I watched the biggest loser last night, which I haven't seen in weeks. My goodness they all looked fantastic!!! Gives me hope and inspiration.

Background and ordered kit

I've been fighting with my weight for as long as I can remember. At one point in high school I was so sick of being teased that I went on a diet. I cut back on the amount of food I ate and stopped eating junk food. I started exercising on a stationary bike and doing floor exercises and lost 20lbs in 3 months. I maintained that weight (160lbs, not even that slim) for years until I reached my 20's. I went on another diet at that time just drinking juice for breakfast and lunch and then a salad for dinner, but I never reached my goal weight of 140 lbs. You start feeling and looking better and just stop.

For the past 7 years I've been gaining weight. I'll start a diet and last about a week and go back to eating burgers, pizzas and hoagies. Three weeks ago I started the Atkins Diet and haven't lost one pound, but I have to say my clothes started to feel a little less tight.

Healthwise, I'm tired all of the time and I feel fat and heavy. My feet are now hurting all of the time along with my knees and it has to be the excess fat and water weight. My skin looks dry, dull and basically unhealthy. My fat clothes are now starting to feel tight and now my coats are starting to feel tight as well. I've just turned 37 and something has got to change.

I listen to the Howard Stern show and learned of the MVD when Robin Quivers started it in 2007. I looked into it and decided I didn't want to spend the money. Now it is almost two years later and she is looking better and I'm looking and feeling worse and bigger then ever.

Today I went on the MVD website and order my kit. Well, first I actually wanted to see if I could get the book from the library and luckily I was able to read the electronic book. I looked through it quickly to get an idea of what changes I will need to make and what I will need to do and decided this is the change I need and spent the $213.95 on the kit. I found that it would be easier because I will not have to buy a juicer. I'm not sure if at some point I will want to make my own juices, but I won't have to think about that for 21 days. I'm also not too sure about the colonics and enemas. I could possibly try the enemas, but I don't see myself lying down on my small bathroom floor. Maybe I'll lay in the hallway outside the bathroom, which of course I'll have to do when the boyfriend is out....because that sure will be a sight.

Ok, so there is a little background and I've ordered the kit. I'm hoping to get it this weekend so I can start on Sunday or Monday. Tomorrow I'll print out the soup recipes and make out a grocery list.
