When you put your foot down

Good evening, my darlings...

Seldom am I ever online at this time of night. Tomorrow (or shall I say today) is Labor Day- September the first.
I have made some big decisions for the upcoming portions of my  life. It all started when my bf gave me a whiteboard calendar, because I am always forgetting his ever changing schedule, so he can write it in for me... And that tabula rasa gave me some ideas. Here is what it looks like currently :

 The daily scribbles are a 30-day workout challenge I stumbled across on pinterest- squats, pushups, planks and crunches. I am excited about all except the squats because of my poor knees. However, how can I get strong knees without working on them right? So, today this begins whenever I wake up.

This will be exciting. When attempting the squat challenge alone, by week 2 I could see my lower body changing. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED !!!

And the next order of business is... the MASTER CLEANSE. I have done this before, don't need any negative commentary. But I purchased a case of mixed meyer and eureka lemons and limes from localharvest.org and as soon as it gets here, we are in business !! From what I understand my girlfriends Ryan and Stella will be joining me, we have a group chat support system going. The most successful master cleanse I ever did was partnered with Ryan, and stella is the queen of flavored waters and juicing so I feel like we are the A team for this !

Started the juicing prep today... here's a visual of the purple kale/parsley/apple leftover I have...

It was nasty letsbehonest. But I am reintroducing the juices so that I am not completely shocked by  the lemonade diet. I do have another blog where my very first experience with the master cleanse was journaled in detail, and I'll be journaling the next one there too, feel free to  Click here for the blog.

Also I have shared that gross picture of myself for a reason. I feel that way lately. Fat, fugly, tired, discontent and needing a life boost.

Motivation comes from within and happiness will not be found in my job, a clean house or the pursuit of more money... But to tell you the truth I saw some wedding pictures of an old college colleague. She was fat for her wedding. Her groom was slim. It was horrible... Not dogging on her she looked gorgeous and happy but that is my biggest fear!!! to be a FAT BRIDE!!! Although I am not engaged, no wedding in sight, I have to make sure I am ready. I have to be happy with myself before I can make my man completely happy (though he claims I already do )

With all of this said, in the morning I shall take before pictures and post them on the other blog linked above.... And start the body challenge. When the lemons arrive, the master cleanse begins. Wish me luck, I'll blog about the life side of it here and maybe add some pics. Here is one of me and the love in case you got curious ;) <3

Good night erry'body!!! Hanve a great labor day !!
