NOTE TO SELF: NEVER use a big freaking noodle in between your legs to cycle/water jog 36 laps in 1hr. 42 mins. again!! YES! I’m so happy and proud of my accomplishment because it’s been a while since I did a mile of anything! However, I now have 2 huge welts on my inner thighs that hurt like hell. I hope they heal soon because I have to workout tomorrow. Ok, here’s the breakdown for yesterday and today:

My niece is so cute, the other day I was feeding her a banana and after every single bite she smiled and said, “Mmmmmm Yummie”! LOL She’s only 16 months and I love the time we spend together! Homegirl can eat and I’m still trying to figure out where it’s all going! I taught her the sign for “more” when she was 10 months and immediately started doing it every time she saw food. So now when she sees food she’ll do the sign for more and say in her cute little voice “more, more”. When she’s with me, I always feed her fresh organic foods and encourage her parents and my mom to give her the best and not the crap we’re use to eating.
Last time I wrote I was beginning my Master Cleanse journey YET AGAIN!! Well after the very 1st day I realized that my mind is just not in it for the Master Cleanser. The longest I’ve been on it was for 3 weeks and I felt great physically and mentally, but for some reason I can’t get my mind to focus on it like I did before. So I’m not going to fight it any more. That very night I decided to just raw food it since that was the direction I was heading after the master Cleanser anyways. I went to the grocery store and purchased close to $45 of fruits and veggies everything being organic except for the strawberries. I got apples, strawberries, bananas, cucumbers, baby carrots, grape tomatoes, baby spinach and baby lettuce mix. I also bought some Bolthouse Farms juices and Simply Orange Grapefruit juice. Friday I ate about 75% raw. I actually had some KFC that night and found it really interesting that the food didn’t taste that great to me after eating fresh fruit all day. Then on Saturday I ate 85% raw… but for dinner I had the Turkey Walnut Cranberry Salad with pita chips and some sweet potato chips. That was sooooo yummy and I guess because everything was organic I didn’t get the same “yucky I think I wanna throw up feeling” I had when I had the KFC. Sunday was Easter and again I ate 85% raw and enjoyed Easter dinner at my mom’s. Dinner was your regular Haitian cuisine: Black rice w/shrimp and beans, avocado, griot (baked pork), fried plantain, beet salad and pasta salad. So yesterday was the first day that I was 100% raw! Yay!! So a person who eats 75% or more of raw/living foods is considered a raw foodist! My goal is to be at least 95% raw for the next 30 days!
Yesterday was Week #3 weigh-in at my gym for the weight loss competition. I was down 1.4 lbs. from last week! So the 1st week of the competition I changed nothing about my diet an hardly exercise and I lost like 8 lbs… which I believe was all water. Then my 2nd week I worked out 3 times for close to 2 hrs. and I transitioned from eating the S.A.D. (Standard American Diet) to mostly raw foods. So Week #3 is the first week of me eating 95% or more of raw foods and we’ll see how it goes. Yesterday, I also up the dosage on the Women’s Renew kit to begin the stronger cleanse. Saturday night I started the Yerba Prima Women’s Renew cleaning kit. The last time I did that cleanse was over 3 years ago. I wrote a post about it and the benefits I experienced from it. My cycle started becoming heavy again and the cramps are back so that’s why I decided it was time to do it again. Hopefully my cycle will be light and sort for 3 days so that I can feel comfortable exercising when Mama Nature is visiting! Well I’m heading out soon. I’ll post some more later.

“Never Put Off Till Tomorrow What You Can Do Today”
I can definitely say I’m a “tomorrow” kinda gal! Always taking for granted the fact that I’m not promised tomorrow. However, yesterday was a reminder that life is simply too short. In just a few days we lost 3 people that touched the hearts of many across the globe. Ed, Farrah and Michael may be gone, but their memory will live on through the TV shows, music, movies, and interviews left behind.
I’ve had so much junk in my life that has kept me living my life to the FULLEST. I’m young and should be living like a young lady… free to explore the world and just enjoy my entire life not just some parts. I’ve been video taping a lot, the good, the bad and the ugly! Once I find the widget that allows me to put videos up on my blog. I’ll be uploading them here. I won’t be uploading full videos on YouTube for the simple fact that I can’t protect my videos from being used on other sites without my permission. Apparently once you post a video on YouTube it’s public domain. In the mean time I’ve vowed to post an entry every day for the next 30 days. I recently had a birthday and I told myself NO MORE EMPTY PROMISES!! I would not do the cleanse during this new birthyear until I knew for sure that I was ready to complete it for the length of time I set out to do it for! The time is NOW! On Tuesday, I started seeing a therapist, whose going to help me cleanse my mind and the toxic issues that I’ve been carrying for years. Our first session went well and I’m just looking forward to the day when I can literally put the past behind me and move forward and actually allow myself to enjoy living! I’ve gotten so many responses from people who have said that I’ve inspired them and I want to continue doing that. I don’t want to be a disappointment, so no more disappearing acts on my part, I promise! Round 1 of 3 begins today, June 26th and will end on July 5t.h. I’ll post stats and pics on a page I’ll create today! look out for another post later on this evening. now I’m off to bed… gotta get up in a few hours to go to the gym for my morning swim! Good night!

MC Daily Log, Master Cleanse Me 2009, My thoughts
It’s been quite sometime since I’ve blogged and really do what I intened on doing as far as this cleansing goes. A lot has happened and that’s in the past. So today I made a promise to myself (which I always seem to break) that I will complete the task I set out to do a year ago. I’m going to completely detox my body using the Master Cleanser until I’m all clear. I set out to do this many times and the longest I lasted was 21 days but that wasn’t long enough.
In the book, The Master Cleanser, Stanley Burroughs states on page 21. :
Recap of the steps to be taken in the diet. Be careful to read the entire instructions so that the diet will be of the best benefit to you. First prepare yourself mentally to follow in detail the entire directions and continue as long as is needed to make the necessary changes. One of the best signals of the completed diet is when the formerly coated and fuzzy tongue is clear pink and clean looking. During the diet it becomes very badly coated.
That’s why I call this cleansing process “Journey to Pink“!! I know I’m mentally ready to go through this and detoxify my body as well as my mind. I will be documenting everything. I’m hoping to rid my body of the following aliments:
- Obesity
- Dermatitis
- Discoid Lupus
- Sinus Problems
Also, I will workout every day during the cleanse to demonstrate that you can exercise while on the Master Cleanser. I’ve taken my weight, measurements and pictures of me &up close shots of my scalp and ear which is affected by the discoid lupus. Today I just drank water all day and I will be drinking my laxative tea shortly with 1 Tsp of fresh lime juice and 1Tsp of organic Grade B maple syrup.
To fund my “Journey to Pink” detoxification, I’m using the $100 my mom gave me for my birthday on Thursday and I will use that money to get everything I need to be on the cleanse and see how long it will take me to use all of it. I have $92 left and I need to buy some more maple syrup and another box of Trim Maxx ( the lax. tea that I use). I went to the store this evening and purchased 15 lemons and 15 lime totalling $8. I have plenty of cayenne pepper. So here’s to a cleaner, detoxed me!!

This past week and a half have been awful!! I’ve been trying to fight off these flu like symptoms and not doing a good job at it. I’ve been sleeping mostly and the fever finally went away, but I still feel yucky!! :( Everyone’s been telling me to just drink plenty of liquids to flush it out of my system. My aunt just got over the flu and my mom told me she said to drink plenty of lemon water. So of course, first thing that goes through my mind is the Master Cleanser. Now … I would say is the perfect time for me to detox and get rid of this sickness, because the meds aren’t really doing anything for me… except the Motrin did reduce my fever. I don’t know how long I plan on being on it but definitely until I get 100% better. I’m starting today and I’m opting not to do the Salt Water Flush just yet because I’m afraid I can’t handle it in my condition right now. I’ll be doing the herbal lax. tea at night and in the morning as well as drinking as much of the lemonade as possible. I’ll keep you posted. Stay healthy please!!

It’s been awhile…. almost 3 months!! Something things have changed and some have stayed the same. I’ve been working on building web pages and I hope to have the new look up for this site. It’s really cool and fun. I was trying to get it up first, but I’ll just do that when I’m done.
Today is Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent. It’s been a while since I’ve really been to church, but I went this evening to receive my ashes and blessings. This coupled with Oprah’s show today about the Secret and the Law of Attraction really opened this belief in me that things will be different. I truly feel that I will be a happy person and I really see that I will be successful in everything I choose to succeed in my life. I’ve made strong decisions on what my life will be like and I know that all of my goals will be achieved.

Well it’s Friday and I feel great!! “Ma Nature” has said farewell for the month and today I was able to go swimming for the first time this week. I didn’t make my swimming goal for the week, (which was to swim 3 hours a week) but I got in one real good hour today. I did 22 laps in 58 mins. which is a little over a half mile and I stretched the last two mins. It’s been several weeks since I last swam, but I felt that I swam much faster today than I did in the past. I weighed myself yesterday because one of the challenges I’m on in Weight Loss Wars has a Thursday weigh-in and I have to take a pic of my feet on the scale and post it in on my journal. So Tuesday when I was trying to make my updated You Tube video (<–click) I weighed myself to get a pic to post up and to my surprise I weighed 318.6 lbs. Of course I was overjoyed, then I realized that my cycle was coming to an end for the month and that definitely affected my weight. Yesterday I weighed 317 lbs. and I know for sure that I’ll be under 300 lbs. by the 1st of December for my Christmas Concert. So all in all things are going well. I have to go update my WLW’s profile now and I think I’ll enter the some recipes tonight too with pictures. Stay tuned for my Sunday Weekly Update!!

Well, I’m back on track as of today and glad to say that today was a very good day. I’ve been slacking on my commitment to exercise and stay on a restricted caloric diet. However, I am proud of the fact that I’m doing very well at being a vegetarian and that 90% of the foods that I ate in the past 6 weeks have been raw fruits, veggies and whole foods. 10% was pretty much junk food!! Even when I’ve gotten in my little moods, I at least turned to healthy choices to comfort me. We all know that weight loss and trying to make a lifestyle change is not easy, but it is very doable.
This weekend I was chatting with a friend from YouTube, Daphne, and you would think that we’ve been friends forever the way we’ve been corresponding with each other. Her You Tube videos are very entertaining and inspiring. We’ve been sharing ideas back and forth all weekend and she’s decided to try “The Fat Buring Diet” to achieve her goal as well. It’s because of Daphne that I joined this really cool site called Weight Loss Wars. Basically they use community and competition as a means for everyone to obtain their goals, stay motivated and accountable. I think joining this site was the extra kick my behind needed for me to get out of my slacking mentality. I’m pumped, and motivated and I really see me getting to my final destination. Check out my profile right here (click–>) UneBelleNoir. You can check my stats and track my progress. I’ve already entered two public challenges and I’m trying to get in the private challenge Daphne’s in. She also had a website to track her weight loss journey. It’s really cool, check it out (click–>) Aninchbyaninch.
Day 1 of 50 complete!! I WILL NOT enter the new year weighing 300+ lbs.!!! This year, 2007, is the last year that I will see a 3 as the first number in my weight and if I work extremely hard, December will be the only month of this year that I can claim being 200+ lbs. I’m back at 323 lbs. I’ve seen that number reappear one too many times and now it’s time to say good-bye & farewell to it forever!!
I’m using Jay Robb’s “The Fat Burning Diet” as my weight loss guide and vowing to follow it exactly. Today was a low carb day and I consumed 1,683.9 calories. I’m a bit over because I miscalculated but it’s ok. I did 60 mins of cardio today, Turbo Jam Cardio Party (40 mins.) and Running/Walking in 2 min. intervals (20 mins.) I’m excited because I really feel that I’m going to achieve my goals. Here’s to a new day, a new beginning, a new me and a new you. One day at a time, that’s all we can do right?
