green smoothie cleanse – Mama 'N Chief

Weight. The one word I can say, truly gets on my nerves. My weight has fluctuated tremendously since having Chief. The goal that has always been constant is to get under 200lbs, which is the catalyst to getting to my true goal which is 175lbs. I’ve been close to 200lbs but I tend to let my love for food push me away from the target. I love my carbs and sweet tea and sweets and all the things that make life grand. I feel such joy when I’m able to eat the way I want to but in turn, the results of that, which is packing on the pounds, make me sad. What an ironic correlation. What I figured out, is finding a balance between the two will keep me satisfied on both fronts. A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned in my post on New Beginnings that I wanted to take control of my health and weight, so the kickstart of my effort was an old faithful. I followed JJ Smith’s 10 Day Green Smoothie Cleanse and

Jermaine and I are on day 8 of our 10 day green smoothie cleanse and I have to say, it has become much easier for him.

Although, I have refrained from getting on the scale for 30 days, I can see the weight loss in the both us and really see an increase in my energy. The hardest part about dieting or starting a new eating regimen is that it can throw a major monkey wrench in your social life. I mean sure there are a variety of things you can do as a couple and/or with friends but ultimately for us, all roads eventually lead to eating (I mean good mouth-watering, buttery, succulent, sometimes sugary, delicious food) and drinking (and I don't mean no dag on water). When my friend Cindy, texted me about brunch, bright and early on Saturday morning, I was reminded of our previous

You’re Not you When You’re Hungry! Starting our Couples Green Smoothie Cleanse

My husband and I have decided that we are over battling the bulge and would like to get the ball rolling to lose weight. Typically, we don't have a problem eating reasonably because we both wear uniforms for work. You always know when you've reached your food fun limit when you need to pull out your Hulk Hogan muscles, just to zip up your pants BROTHER! But due to recent foot surgery, I have been unable to work and Jermaine has been working from home, so yes, we have been living our best food life! Eating out, having friends over to eat in, caking, snacking, maxing and relaxing all while pounds have been piggy piggy packing. (Lyrics by the artist formerly known as Young Eb Lou). No one around here is doing any exercise and I have to say, life has been grand for me. No uniform, getting too big for your britches worries. I really didn't even have to concern myself with fit checks on my regular clothes because I couldn't go anywhere for weeks and when I did, it was
