Day 1

 

It is hard starting the first day of any diet.  When you are walking the grocery stores, you realize what you can not eat anymore.  For some people, realizing you are limited to your food will bring them down and make them wonder if they are doing the right thing.  I am trying to keep a good attitude.  Doing this diet, I am trying to make myself more health and fit to better serve and care for my family.

(Note: I am a coffee drinker.  Not a "BIG" one, but I do enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning.  I do plan on keeping my one cup of coffee in my diet, but once that one cup is gone...it's gone.)

Breakfast: 

*Balance Complete Shake
*A Cup of Coffee

Snack:

* 8 Pineapple Chunks
*Water

Lunch:

*Slique Tea
*Balance Complete Shake
*Water

Snack:

* 5- Baby Carrots
* 1/2 T. Hummus
* 8 oz. of Lemonade
*Water

Dinner:  (I forgot to drink my tea)

*Balance Complete Shake
*Water

We spent part of our day after lunch playing with a friend at a park.  Daniel had to work a little late, so as the day got a little hot, we moved to play at Chick-Fil-A's play area.  I was hot and thirsty, and I have a soft spot for Chick-Fil-A's lemonade.  So, I got a child's size of lemonade!  I did slip a little today, but that is fine.  Everyday brings on new challenges!  :-)

Young Living's Slique Program

I am starting Young Living's Slique diet program today.  This program last a month, and my goal is to lose 15-20 pounds.  I will try to document my progress everyday. 

This is the regiment for the Slique Diet:


Breakfast
Balance Complete™ meal replacement shake
NingXia Red® packet

Snack
2–3 drops Slique™ Essence in water or low-calorie
beverage
Healthy snack (fruit, vegetables, nuts, etc.)

Lunch 
Slique™ Tea 15 minutes before meal
(Optional: add 1–2 drops Slique Essence)
2 Essentialzymes-4™ capsules with meal
Light, well-balanced lunch*

Snack
2–3 drops Slique Essence in water or low-calorie
beverage
Healthy snack (fruit, vegetables, nuts, etc.)

Dinner
Slique Tea 15 minutes before meal
(Optional: add 1–2 drops Slique Essence)
2 Essentialzymes-4 capsules with meal
Light, well-balanced dinner*

Evening 
2–3 drops Slique Essence in water or low-calorie
beverage


*Balance Complete may be substituted for one additional meal to add variety or reduce
caloric intake. Breakfast and lunch regimen may be reversed.  Exercise should be
incorporated into daily activity.

Instead of having a light well- balanced meal for lunch and dinner, I am only having a meal at dinner time every other day, and using Balance complete for all three meals.  I am also trying to drink as much water as possible.  Doing this, I am reducing my calorie intake so I can reach my goal weight.

After doing some research, I have found that the Sligue Essence Oil is to help in making you feel like you are full and not hungry.  Well, Peppermint Oil does the same thing!!  So, I am substituting the Slique Essence for the Peppermint Oil.  But, I am still doing the Slique Tea.  Which is pretty good without adding anything to it...not even sugar!!  :-)
