What is FF and who am I?
So... I start to do this thing. This thing being the Fat Flush. What a name, eh? Anyway, after many angry days both at me, my husband, and my world, I knew I had to give in to my concerns and do something. I've been diagnosed with bipolar disorder with ADHD. It's taken until now to seriously understand what I need and what I should do with myself. I've finally gotten, for me, the right psych, the right counselor, the right job, the right house, and now the right goal. I have a wonderful husband and three strong boys that strive for the best outcome intellectually, physically, socially, and professionally. I've nailed all but one so far, but you just wait.
I started reading Ann Louise Gittleman's the NEW Fat Flush Plan a little over two weeks ago. I'd read it before; I'd followed the plan about a month or so; I just wasn't in the right place at the time. I think I am now, at least starting a week ago. It's funny, I thought that reading it would delay the inevitable. If I just read a portion of a chapter each night, I wouldn't have to actually start the plan, until I read that chapter. Well, just this past Thursday I knew I'd start the the following day and I tore lose the bonds.
I gathered all the fixins (yep, a southern). My emotional high state was ready to roll, but I knew it would be tamer this time (remember, the psych). I organized everything in cute little bottles I'd acquired over the months of Hello Fresh and Home Chef meals.3 Days of a Smoothy Flush was about to begin tomorrow. There was the nasty one - at least that's what my girlfriend and I called it (tomato, spinach, green onion, parsley, garlic, flax oil, lime juice, chia, turmeric, cayenne pepper, mustard, ginger) three times a day intermittent with the yummy one (frozen berries, cranberry juice, water, protein, coco oil, flax seed, green powder, lecithin) also 3 times a day. Not to mention, 64 more ounces of cranberry/water.
I did it. Three days of being pregnant; ok, not, but the peeing could have fooled anyone. And the movements were miraculous. I had to be losing like 10 pounds a day, I thought. Well, I ended the three days with a loss of four pounds. Not a bad start.
Now to apologize to my husband for actually telling me the truth.
