21 Day Sugar Detox - day 1!

  So, between watching Fed Up , and finding this little gem on my timehop (from last year!)

 I have decided it's finally time. So I decided to KINDA do the 21 day sugar detox diet. I say KINDA because I just downloaded the images from the internet because the book itself is too damned expensive. I went on a huge shopping trip yesterday, and as of today am off anything with any kind of sugar in it at all. Everyone in my life knows (read: is prewarned I'm about to get grumpy!) and I hope will hold me extra accountable. I'm not supposed to really count fat or calories during this week, but chances are I probably will anyway. 

 This isn't about me being "fat". I. KNOW. I. AM. NOT. FAT. This is about me being HEALTHY. Between free junk at work and bought junk at home, I'm consuming WAY too much sugar. It's a constant craving - after I eat any regular meal, I need something sweet now. I'm getting latte's 2-3 times a week. Mindless chocolate munching every day at my desk. It's gross. 

I'm not really going to be too worried about my calories and fat for these 3 weeks, but from what I've seen online, people have seen weight-loss type results from this detox. Remember - this is not an "I'm fat" thing. Sure, I wish my pooch belly didn't exist, but that's my main 'weight' related concern. Since there's a chance I may see physical changes, here are my Day 0 Stats from yesterday:

Day 0 measurements:

Weight - 103 lbs (remember I'm only 5'1. lol)

Body Fat % - 19.9%

Waist - 25 inches

Belly - 29 inches (my trouble area!)

Hips - 34.5

Thigh - 19 inches (just cause)

I'll take measurements again every Sunday night from here out to see if it's making any difference. 

So far I have a headache, but it's so early I don't think it's a sugar thing, probably just my allergies. (Fun!)

Wish me luck!!

Host your own Younique party!

 I am officially a Younique Makeup presenter. It took me 3 days from hearing about this makeup to completely fall in love with it. The star of the show is their Moonstruck 3d Fiber lashes, which look stunning, are waterproof but wash off easily, and leave your lashes in better condition than before you wore it. Unlike falsies, which can pull your real lashes out (yuck!).  All of their selling is done online, through 10 day facebook "virtual" parties, so you don't even have to clean your house.
However, if you're local and would like to do an in-house party, so your friends
can try it out in person.
Besides just the mascara, they have an entire line of skin care and makeup that is all natural and cruelty free. Book a party with me and earn free stuff!

Welcome!

Hello Hello!

  Welcome to my new venture - a central home for all things Jenni Mae. Right now I have a few big projects coming up and I'm really excited to be sharing everything with everyone. 

  In the past few years, I have really come to be grateful for everything I have, and however messy this life can be, that it's mine. I am taking charge and working on being my best possible self; whether that be through creativity, health, fitness or even beauty. And I have to share.

  So whatever make you feel like you're best you - whether it's experimenting with great makeup, baking a naughty snack, building a perfectly balanced healthy meal, pushing yourself to your fitness limit or just wiring together the perfect pair of earrings, I hope everyone can have a home here. It's all about being the best you that you can be, inside and out. :D
