Mona’s Quest to lose 70 pounds – Day 11

Mona’s Quest to lose 70 pounds – Day 11

Today is Saturday and I have decided to celebrate with my daughter’s fabulous beans on Sunday. So today, I will eat raw for the most part and will give myself permission to eat the beans. I really want to think more consciously about what I do. I feel so terrific, having this permission isn’t really all that great. Why change something that is working For one thing, I want to stay on the path I have chosen. Not making a plan in the past has lead to failure and I want to stay healthy. …

Mona’s Quest to lose 70 pounds – Day 10

What an incredible morning. I had my hair in protection mode and finally had it done by a professional courtesy of my third oldest son for Mother’s Day.  I could really tell how much I have changed. My face looks clear and slim!  I almost didn’t recognize myself. I also, had the wonderful opportunity to attend a luncheon recognizing women who are making a difference for other and all women.  Yes, I said luncheon.  I felt so great, so healthy, so clear about choices.  The luncheon was delicious by…

Mona’s Quest to lose 70 pounds – Day 9

What an incredible day! I received my test results back from blood work that was taken on Monday.  My cholesterol is 40 points lower than initially taken, and my blood sugar levels are lower by 20 points, and my blood pressure is great.  My blood sugar levels are fantastic and I have not taken medicine since I began the first cleanse!  All my testing is so incredibly good since I started the detox. Since Monday also, I have reduced my weight by another 2 pounds!  Way to go girl. …

Mona’s Quest to lose 70 pounds – Day 8

Just thought about today being day 8, almost half way there again!  I feel terrific. Got up again at 5 am but just stayed in bed until then having woke up at 4 am.  It ‘s now after 7 pm and I still feel alert and good.  Will take my 7pm herbs and my charcoal and hit the sack.  After being out all day I thought i would feel tired, especially after a early meeting in LA and driving amongst the road rage.  But when I returned home I sat down and my mind just…

Mona’s Quest to lose 70 pounds – Day 7

I have recognized that days when my weight is dropping fast, I of course get hungry. When I started my first detox, I would eat nuts and fill my self. It helped tremendously. Now, i choose to eat in a different way and not fill up on nuts, but to stay within my vegetables in a big way. I can feel a sense of training and conditioning of my mind and will. Having dropped 25 pounds so far is amazing. Almost a pound a day, just by doing the things the healthy way. …

Mona’s Quest to lose 70 pounds – Day 6

Made it through the Sunday. I am so grateful! The weight is dropping off and I look more like I use to. Not that same old puffy face woman who displayed ill health and carelessness about herself. I do notice also, that i talk a lot more at times. This diary is good for me and my husband. I am sure he needs to have down time and not hear me sucking all the oxygen out of the room! I also notice that when I have a tired day,…

Mona’s Quest to lose 70 pounds – Day 5

Today is Sunday and I am going to relax. Still I get up at about 5 am and I get moving for my husband who will need to be at church at 7:30 am. I just feel energized and focused. Relaxing to me is getting out when the world is still quiet and I can shop and exercise and watch my TV before my sons and husband take over the TV for ESPN ALL DAY! No worries though, TV is not good for me anyway to watch at length. Today I did…

Mona’s Quest to lose 70 pounds – Day 4

I am getting up earlier and earlier. I have always been an early riser but the feeling of health and wellness is so strong. I don’t drag out of bed and I get up and start preparing my foods and meals for my family without a problem. I weighed myself today and I have rid myself of another 5 pounds since Friday. All because I want to be healthy. My body releases well and I drink at least a gallon of water a day. I don’t have to constantly use the bathroom because my body…

Mona’s Quest to lose 70 pounds – Day 3

What a busy day already. I have had my meeting, gone to weigh myself and I have lost another 4 pounds.  I don’t even snore anymore! lol!  My husband can’t threaten me with that anymore, saying no one else would want me when they heard that!  No worries, he is a great guy and that was our joke! Today is also a day my family likes to buy hamburgers and such.  Doesn’t bother my at all.  I enjoy the self love I exhibit when I do the right things for me.  I…

Mona’s Quest to lose 70 pounds – Day 2

Today is a very long day. I have meetings and the like and a late track meet. I have struggled a bit today, thinking about those beans my daughter cooked for me. But I know how to talk to myself a lot better than I use to. During the week is pretty good. The weekends, especially Sundays are sometimes a challenge because my family loves to eat Sunday style meals! Never been a soda drinker but did love my coffee. Hard to believe I don’t crave it and for the most part…

I’m So THANKFUL! I have an opportunity to start another 20 day detox! I am so excited to see how I will be changing and feeling after my second one! I have an additional goal to keep getting rid of this excess waste (called weight). My goal is 70 pounds! 15 pounds were removed from the first detox. As I got going my weight seem to run like a stem roller, more toward the end. It is so great to be supported by the Dherbs crew! God Bless you…

Mona’s Detox – Day 20

Can you believe that today of all days I am having a meltdown?! I wanted to eat like nobody’s business.  What is all the hunger about today?  I even got a little snappy at my husband.  Maybe the thought of having my daughter in laws gourmet meal of beans, brown rice and fresh guacamole was giving me a rush.  All I could do today was think about eating something warm. I felt amazing though!  I felt so clear and energized.  One of my best moments, was telling myself to keep going and…

Mona’s Detox – Day 19

Today is the day before the 20 days of living my best life on detox. Every day has been a day of better health and wellness. I feel a bit tired today and feel the weight falling off. I feel when the weight falls rapidly, or should I say the detox speeds up because it has broken through the layers of junk, my body needs a bit more rest. I still have layers to go through, but how wonderful to feel alive and my organs functioning well. My blood pressure has not…

Mona’s Detox – Day 18

Today is getting closer to the weekend. Looking forward to the many activities I have planned. I feel energized today and cut out a fruit I thought maybe was a bit more concentrated in sugar than I needed. To my surprise, I have been feeling better the last few days since not eating it. Listening to my body talk to me is the key here. Even when it says ‘let’s eat junk’. That tells me something is going on that I need to address in my life. Foods even smell differently to…

Mona’s Detox – Day 17

Today, was a wonderful day. I took my 92 yr old cousin out shopping and spent time with her. Great experience and such wisdom she speaks. I will say, when I returned home I needed to take care of my self. But, I didn’t have the panic to eat or extreme hunger I used to have. My live salad tasted like a million though. I even have noticed I stop eating about 5 pm daily lately. Just don’t want to eat after that. What a huge benefit. I stop and let my…

Found that great lettuce and wow is it mouth wateringly good.  Isn’t it wonderful to enjoy eating healthy even when people around you are eating like wolves!  Not nice I know.  But thank God I can love myself. Enough to eat and enjoy my road to health.  Still feel a bit tired today but I know what is going on and it is very empowering to have knowledge.  Tuesday is my day to catch up on lots of things and I have been hearing my inner voice so clear. Detox comes in many ways and…

Mona’s Detox – Day 15

Today I really feel tired. I must really be detoxing on another level. I didn’t want to get up and get started at all. Did a few must do things and took a nap at 9 am til 10:30 am. Felt much better. Body is slowing down and I have to respect its right to heal. That is what got me into trouble before, not respecting my body. I have been craving avocados and know that eating too many is not what I need to be doing, even if it is raw. The heat did…

Mona’s Detox – Day 14

Today, was hot!  And God knows how glad I am this fat is leaving my body along with the toxic way of eating.  I usually have a difficult time when it is hot, but I didn’t have the usual sluggish and lethargic ways. Today is day 14!  I did find a wonderful liquid amino acid that really has satisfied my taste buds.  I put it on my salad, made raw guacamole dip for my veggies and it tastes like something I shouldn’t have.  As I said before, I had become a bit bored with my…

Mona’s Detox – Day 13

What a great day.  I woke up to go out with a very special adopted daughter and her mom.  Boy did we have a blast!  We always have such fun laughing and being creative.  The thing now is that I take my thoughts and creative discussions to the next level to development.  We ran around in the morning and for some reason I wanted some coffee.  I drank about  2 ounces and was okay with that.  Not needing to continue or think about it anymore.  But I do think it had me a bit buzzed. …
