WOW!  One day down and 5 pounds gone!!  Isn't Michael Thurmond's 6 Week Body Makeover fabulous!!??

I can barely eat all the food on my "Custom Eating Plan" yet I'm losing weight!  Gotta love it!

Okay, what did I eat?  Well, one fabulous thing I had was a turkey burger topped with salsa.  Yummy!  Also, plan friendly meatballs with tomato sauce.  Try that over spaghetti squash!  Delicious!!

I did have a hard time getting in all the water....which isn't usually a problem for me.  I'll do better tomorrow.

I must admit, I still have not gotten myself on that treadmill.....don't tell Michael!  At least we're seeing some great results though. 

Til tomorrow......................

Alright Folks!!  Here we go on a new adventure.....Michael Thurmond's 6 Week Body Makeover!!

First let me compare this plan to the Martha's Vineyard Diet Detox. 

This is a great plan to use as maintenance after your detox or to use on its own.  You can use this plan to continue to lose weight after the detox or use it alone.  It is a very "clean diet" for those of you who have completed the detox.  You can select the purest, whole, organic foods to use with this plan so you won't "undo" your cleanse.

The basic idea of the Six Week Body Makeover is to eat specific foods according to your body type, at 2 - 3 hour intervals.  You should avoid sugar, salt and added fats.  So it is similar to the Martha's Vineyard Diet in that you are consuming something every couple of hours; you will stick with natural unprocessed foods and you will avoid sugar, salt and processed foods.  The main difference is that you will be CHEWING!!  YIPPEE!!  (Note to former detoxers.....if you could go 21 days with no chewing, this will be a piece of cake.....well, no cake.  Cake is not allowed.......but it will be very easy for you to follow!)

Now.....about me.  For those of you that followed me on my detox...I am still that same lady.  The 30 something, married mother of four...yes counting that porecious little newborn girl!  I still have a silly sense of humor.....hey with four children and that husband of mine, I need it to survive!  I will still offer great tips and recipes as well as a healthy dose of encouragement and motivation.

Okay, I have purchased my 6 Week Body Makeover and have begun the program.  Today was my start day and I must admit, I have started off on the wrong foot!

I had planned to be prepared.  Take a tip from the one who has learned her lesson.......Prepare yourself.

Obviously, you must begin by ordering your kit.  Check this site for a great deal which includes the great cookbook.  The cookbooks have been out of stock everywhere.  In fact, I am still waiting for mine to arrive.  However, if you purchase from DetoxDietCenter.net, you will receive a bonus cookbook with your order. 

Next, follow the intructions in the kit.  Set up your personalized binder and do the body blueprint.  Take pictures of yourself and familiarize yourself with the plan.  In case you are wondering, I am a Type A.

Then, prepare your food.  This is where I slipped up.  I like to keep some hard boiled eggs on hand in the fridge to get some quick protein in a flash.  I forgot to boil the eggs last night so I started off on the wrong foot.  I did have a bowl of oatmeal this morning but currently I am waiting for the eggs to go along with it.....OOOPS.  Don't tell Michael!  Also, I planned to get myself up this morning when my precious little early riser awoke me for her early morning feeding and get my self on the treadmill........I will confess that I fed that little darling and then got side tracked with work and have not made it to the treadmill yet.  I am going to try to squeeze it in at some point today.....I'll let you know tomorrow.

I did make sure to weigh myself this morning, which as you can imagine for a lady who just had a baby was not a joyous moment!  Then again, that's why I'm here................

Okay, go ahead and get your kit ordered, or if you already have one, get it ready.  Dust it off and refresh yourself.......I am ready to do this makeover with you so let's get ready!! 

Let me know that you're with me!  Email me at customerservice@detoxdietcenter.net!  Just put 6 Week in the title and let me know your body type.  Okay, I gotta go get some egg whites!!
