I tried the cucumber + lemon drink today and the water was heavenly. I never got the mint leaves but my mix was beautiful. Never again will you find me sipping plain water, not after this :)

Cucumber, Lemon and Mint Water

Water is a necessary item both in your weight loss journey and also for general well being. Water is also essential for your body to detox. This week i came across a cucumber + Lemon + mint water detox recipe. Apparently it aids in detoxing and also weight loss. I did my research, and I will try it out this week.

Take the Cucumber-lemon-mint water first thing in the morning (your body has been in a natural state of fasting all night) and this will help jump start your body's metabolism, and you can continue taking it throughout the day (a good substitute for those of us who easily get bored taking plain water).

Ingredients needed
1-2 Litres of Water (i will use 1)
1 cucumber
1 lemon
10-15 mint leaves

Directions
Slice the cucumber and the lemon, and dip them in the water, add the mint leaves.Let this sit overnight in the fridge.

Benefits
The most obvious benefit here is the water ;) , It helps to flush out toxins and waste from our bodies and hence good for the liver and kidney, not to mention beautiful skin.

Cucumber
contains an amino acid (citrulline) that assists your liver and kidney to get rid of ammonia, it re-hydrates your body and has anti-inflammatory properties, fights cancer and controls blood pressure,

Lemon
Helps to cleanse and alkalize the body (by the way do you know cancer cells cant survive in an alkaline system), stimulates the digestive track, hence good for digestion, are rich in vitamin C and flavanoids.

Mint
Helps the digestive system, helps relax cramped out muscles, it also has a nice flavour, helps relax your mind, and combats bad breath.

p.s
You can add watermelon, or oranges or ginger to spice your mixture up.
For those with sensitive teeth, you can always use a straw.

Have a lovely evening Adhis ♥

HEALTHY WEIGHT LOSS WEEK 1/24.

Yay, so finally i have began my weight loss journey. Started this week, although i only exercised thrice. My goal is to make exercise a daily routine, a lifestyle.
My target is to lose at least 12 kilograms within the next 6 months. My target weight is 63 kgs. (Am currently at 75)

Some of these exercises i must say were a real challenge. The first day i did my SQUATS, honey my thighs were on fire! I was left walking like a retarded Penguin. I had to take a break for a week, then resumed again this week, at least i was now walking like a penguin in 6-inch heels :)
My plan is to work out six days a week and rest on the seventh.

So below is a summary of what i did. And by the way i don't plan to weigh myself until after the 24 weeks are done. The only way to judge my progress will be by using measurements (Bust-Waist-Hips).

Week 1 Summary:

• 3015 Rope jumps
• 415 High knee jumps
• 415 Jumping x jacks
• 165 Donkey Kicks
• 145 Seconds Planks (my palms were all sweaty after 3 seconds, woiii!)

• 145 Situps
• 165 Squats

15 minutes of Jessica Smith Workout (Look Better Naked) <--- That is the name of the workout btw :)

Extra

1 litre water (you have probably heard of the importance of water in weight loss and general well being)
Mango, Water Melon, a Banana and some grapes (i will also assume you have heard of the 4 fruits and 5 vegetables rule for healthy living)

Day 2: Tuesday 11-Feb-2014
1000 Rope Jumps, 50 Donkey Kicks, 100 X Jacks, 30 Seconds Plank, 10 Pushups and 30 Situps.

Day 4 : Friday 14-Feb-2014    (Yes, i worked out on valentines )
1015 rope jumps, 215 High Knee Jumps, 115 X jacks, 65 Seconds planks (MAKOFI kwangu), 25 Modified Push-ups, 55 sit-ups and 65 squats.

My plan is to increase everything by 15 weekly. Eg if i did 1000 rope Jumps this week, next week i plan to do 1015 etc.

There you go, see you next week
