Hello. I'm new to myfitnesspal but grateful to have found it. I'm on Day 2. I have to admit Day 1 was NOT good for me. so today I'm going to get serious. Ive done 15 minutes of exercise, about to do 15 minutes more then a minimum of 15 minutes on the treadmill. I'm going to down this bottle of water and then drink another by 12. My goal is one 20 ounce bottle every 3 hours. Doesn't sound like too much? If the weather holds and no rain hits, then dog and I are hitting the streets for a walk. He's a German Shepard so he's a work out in itself.

I'm also going to cleanse my system with the 3-Day apple diet and am giving in and ordering the Brazil butt Lift Video workout. It targets the areas I want to hit the hardest--the triangle shape. My boyfriend says that using the weights will help tone my arms and chest and legs, so that's my plan. I'm also switching to a diet high in protein (through chicken, fish, pork, and red meat one night a week) and fruits and vegetables, and limiting or giving up processed foods (any thing with more than one ingredient is my general rule.) I'm hoping that increasing the exercise and adjusting my eating habits will help me loose weight, get in shape, and feel better about ME.

Thanks for the support!

    You will find this site extremely helpful with great support. Its funny you mention a cleansing because I have never done one and have been researching them one line. What is the apple cleansing you are doing? Good Luck and I am sure you will do great.

    How to Mix and Match on the 3 Apple a Day Plan

    On the 3 apple a day diet plan menu, you can make the following substitutions:

    You can substitute the 3 ounces of tuna for the chicken breast at any time.

    You can switch the morning and afternoon snacks on the same day, but not between days.

    You can substitute an equal amount of cottage cheese in place of the yogurt if you wish.

    You can substitute whole wheat bread for rye bread.


    I'm starting with this. I haven't done a lot of research on cleansing the system. This seemed to have the components I wanted-healthy eating with snacks. a way to start. Ill let you know what I find on cleansing the system. I don't believe that starvation is a way to go. I'm learning as I go. Taking pics as I go that no one will see buy me:) and doing a "blog" of how I do,
