Well...a few fine days. Didn't go over 1350 cals and exercised. But the weekend was craaaazy. The stress+PMS equaled ridiculous intakes and almost zero exercise. Just some walking/light hiking. I don't even want to remember all of the garbage I ate. Back on track today.


I've read several times that water first thing in the morning, on an empty stomach, is extremely beneficial. I honestly don't know for sure if it's true, but it can't hurt!

If you are going to use whole lemon and not just the juice, make sure it is organic and remember to wash thoroughly no matter if you buy conventional or organic. You don't want to absorb a bunch of pesticides!
