I'm Committed Now

Or maybe I should be committed. We'll soon find out. Yesterday, I ordered all the stuff I needed to get started on this diet.

I got everything for less than $100 at A1nutrition.com. This was much less expensive than I could find at the MV site, Ebay or GNC. I will have to go back in a couple weeks to order the protein shakes, which I will need when coming off the detox. I also ordered the book, 21 Pounds In 21 Days from Amazon, that was another $20. I will still have to make a trip to town to get distilled water, more herbal tea choices, organic soup vegees and the Bragg Amino Acid for seasoning my soups.

I should receive everything by Monday or Tuesday, so I have decided to start the diet on Wednesday, August 15th. That will give me 6 days on the program before I start school.

I have made pages and pages of notes from all the information I have found about the diet.
I downloaded my personal daily schedule from 21pounds21days.com.

I have written myself up a workout routine for the 3 weeks I will be on the plan.
The diet only calls for a 1 mile walk per day. I am thinking that since I already workout vigorously 3-4 times a week, I am going to continue my regular routine 3 times a week and add in the 1 mile walk on the other 4 days. 1 mile doesn't seem like much to me, so I am going to increase the distance by a half mile per week and add in speedier intervals twice a week. I also added in a yoga workout once a week for relaxation and most importantly, I am definitely doing an ab routine 4 times a week. I have a 9-week Ab book routine that I have tried to get into several different times, but have never gotten past the 1st week, not because it's hard, it's not, it takes about 10 minutes. Maybe that's why I can't get into it, because it seems so minimal. But I know these exercises will work and getting rid of my belly is my greatest desire.

Hopefully, spending the money, setting a start date, making a schedule and really focusing on this constantly will keep my motivation up and I will be detoxing next week.
