My Clean 9 Detox Journal Part 2; Day 3

In my post, Clean 9 Detox Journal Part 1, I had promised to write back in 10 days, but there is so much happening and am afraid I will not capture it all in one post. I will therefore break down part 2 into the 9 days, just to make sure you get the the most info, relate to your experience and hopefully get inspiration from my experience. If you just landed here, start HERE 

Day 3

Its Monday! I have never loved Monday mornings, how was this one going to be? I woke up about 20 minutes before my alarm went off. I took this time to review my day's activities. I was happy I did not have much happening out of office. The meal schedule was changing from what I had on day 1 and 2. I was going to have a shake for breakfast in addition, and a 600 calorie meal for dinner. I took my Forever breakfast and was ready for my exercise.

I planned that for the weekdays I would tune to KBC TV at 5:30am for Gear Up, a 30 minute fitness show. The exercises are simple and moderate and good for starters. It was awesome and I felt so energetic. I packed my lunch and I in a few minutes I set out to go to work.

The traffic that morning was out of this world. For the first time since I started my detox I felt hunger bite. I was lucky I had some water but well - could only do so much. Is it that when you are hungry good food that you can't have comes your way? I have used Thika Super Highway twice a day for the last 10 months, but for the first time I noticed that Brookside (for their mala) has a billboard at Muthaiga. The image of ugali, beef stew and greens totally got me day dreaming. 

When I got to the office, my first stop was the kitchen to get some water to mix in my Forever Fiber snack. And lo and behold, this is the day our team leader decided to buy cookies for team. They were served in a bowl for everyone to indulge. That is the point you realize that "the devil is real" and your only option is to apply the famous Bible phrase on Matthew 16:23. I graciously took my snack and in a few minutes my hunger pangs had subsided. The day went on quite well. 

The rest of the day went on quite well. After work I was attending a team sizzle. I was looking forward to geting home, I was going to have a good meal. I kept thinking about that billboard, I missed ugali - not that I really love it anyway. I got home and Keshi had prepared some nice dinner, liver, rice and veges, but it was a bit late I could not afford to have such a meal near bed time, else I would have had to stay up longer. I therefore decided to treat myself to a veggie salad. It doesn't have a name, but you can call it Salade ala Christine

Ingredients:

1/2 raw carrot

1/2 cucumber

3 leaves lettuce

1/3 raw beetroot 

2 florets Broccoli 

1/2 lemon - juice

On day 3 you take measurements. I did this and YES! its working. Impressive changes! First of all my skin has cleared and is glowing. It feels nice when you meet a friend and they ask; "what are you using on your face?" On the size I got 1" down on my tummy, 0.5" down on my thighs and 1" down on my hips (felt a bit sad on this one, I dint hope to lose an inch of my bum!). However, it got me more motivated to enjoy this.

Cheers!

My Clean 9 detox Journal Part 2 - Day 2

In my post, Clean 9 Detox Journal Part 1, I had promised to write back in 10 days, but there is so much happening and am afraid I will not capture it all in one post. I will therefore break down part 2 into the 9 days, just to make sure you get the the most info and hopefully inspiration from my experience. 

Day 2:

I woke up earlier than usual for a Sunday. I think its the excitement. I was so thirsty I headed to get some water first - irony as yesterday I had had enough of it. I was also feel light headed and was craving sugar badly. The number of times I paced in the kitchen while trying to fight the temptation to bite something sugary are countless. I had breakfast, a replica of day 1.

Then began my 30 minute exercise - dance. What would have been the better time to learn the moves in the new dance video, #UnconditionallyBae? Felt good sweating. I am surely loving this fitness journey.

After my forever therm snack, i could not handle the sugar craving. I decided to get an Orange, got thin slices which i would lick every time the craving came. It worked miracles!

At lunch I decided to experiment a bit with my shake. I added a pear and blended them together. The change of texture was welcome and i felt quite full.

The rest of the went well, dint feel hungry at all. If you start your Clean 9 program and hunger comes biting, on page 11 of the booklet lists a number of fruits and veges (low GI foods) you can bite on in moderation, but not exceeding 300 calories. Most of these food are those classified as zero calorie foods as the body uses more calories to process these food than the calories they contain.

Among them are pears which are currently in season. Its definitely very timely to start the detox as pears are less expensive, having just 1 will make you feel fuller for longer and they are very low on calorie content.

Awaken your senses with these Essential Oils

The human senses are incredibly powerful and greatly affect thought, mood and many other brain functions and work together to help support our perception of our surroundings. Undoubtedly, one of the most powerful senses is the sense of smell.

We all know about the everyday power of scent: how a particular perfume reminds you of your mother, or when the smell of your favorite restaurant brings you back to your first date there. But did you know that some scents can actually improve your health? Essential oils can also help you relax or sleep, or improve your skin or digestion — their benefits go well beyond a pleasant smell.
Essential oils can have a healing effect mentally, physically, and emotionally. They carry the physical properties of flowers and plants in a highly concentrated form. They are the essence of the plant and can provide therapeutic benefits in very small amounts. The particles in essential oils, which come from various parts of the plant such as the flowers, twigs, leaves or bark, can be inhaled and absorbed through the skin and some taken internally.
Most essential oils have antibacterial qualities and have varying physical and emotional effects depending on the oil, such as stimulation, relaxation, pain relief and healing.
Essential oils work by enhancing the brain wave function, when absorbed in the body, that are transported to the nervous system n cells. They help deliver about 21% more oxygen and nutrients to the cells and further assist in efficient disposal of carbon dioxide and other waste.
The most common ways to use essential oils include:

1. Aromatherapy- can be inhaled directly from the bottle, or applied on a piece of cloth to cover the nose or diffused
2. Topically - can be applied directly (mix with carrier oil) or even added to your bath

Note that essential oils are not the same thing as fragrance oils. Essential oils come from plants while fragrance oils are artificially created and often contain synthetic chemicals. While they may smell good and are typically less expensive, they will not give you the therapeutic benefits of organic essential oils.

How does it work?
Science explains that our fat cells become surrounded by toxins. These toxins come from our convenience or processed diets, toxins in the atmosphere, our homes, our cars and environment.
C9 works by stripping away those toxins such that the fat cells are then exposed and the body can now access this ‘food store’ for energy production (by converting to Glycogen).

These fat cells then get burnt up when we exercise (or exercise more) and over time, hence weight loss.

Weight loss with Clean is on average 2-5 kgs, most of this from the tummy area. So if you are always working towards a flat tummy, C9 is a good bet. However, if your goal is to lose more than 5kgs, then you need continue with the Forever FIT 1 (30 days) that helps to burn fat and lose weight & Forever FIT 2 (30 Days)that helps to tone up and build lean muscle hence sustaining your weight loss.

I have written a day by day journal of my experience with CLEAN 9. Enjoy the read. My Clean 9 Detox Journal
