March 21st I weighed in this morning at 221.4. My highest ever weight was 226 so I am happy I am not starting at that place. My goal weight is 180. That is what I was down to when I did Whole 30 years ago and the Optimal life challenge which I did last year. I am trusting that those two cleanses will help make this one easier. I remember the first time I had the 'carb flu' that was not fun.
I started my fast at 9 pm last night. So far today I have had water and black coffee, I felt the hunger pangs so I took an oil capsule. I had done a facelift challenge a while back, it was 4-6 drops of Longevity oil in a capsule with some olive oil. It did wonders for the bags under my eyes and I also noticed that it curbed my appetite so that is a win/win for me. I am putting this back on my daily to do list.
Longevity essential oil blend is a powerful combination of Thyme, Orange, Clove, and Frankincense. The name tells you that this oil is a must-have! Read below to discover the benefits of each oil in this blend:
- Thyme essential oil provides support to the immune system, contains the antioxidant thymol, and has a powerful, spicy aroma that enhances the flavor of food when taken internally.*
- Orange essential oil has a bright, uplifting aroma that cleanses and refreshes the air when diffused and effectively removes adhesives and residues to clean surfaces. When taken internally, it provides digestive and immune support.*
- Clove essential oil has a warm, stimulating aroma that provides cleansing properties and can be added to Thieves® dental products to maintain oral health. When taken internally, it contains antioxidants and may provide immune and general wellness support.*
- Frankincense essential oil has been used as part of various religious practices for over 3,000 years. It has been known to enhance immunological function and beautify skin.
I kept my carb count to 40 today. Day 1 is fun and done!
