Hey ya'll!
Beginning the 17 DD today and I am not a stranger to it - I was on here about a year ago and started the diet, but life got in the way, so I didn't post much.
The menu is pretty cut and dry. He says the only thing your really have to count is your probiotics and your fruit (which you are not supposed to have past 2pm anyway) other wise Protein and veggies galore! Pretty easy. Sticking to it is the challenge.
Here's my reason:
Punta Cana Dominican Republic The Majestic Elegance Resort & Spa
I will be arriving at this wonderful slice of paradise July 27th and will stay for 7 days.
We have been to Punta Cana before, and loved it. I have made many changes in my life since we went the last time and right now my life is all about finishing Respiratory Therapy School, so I haven't had much down time. This will be a much deserved break/vacation. I have 1 year left in School,
So my husband and I decided in January we would start Crossfit...both of us being overweight we needed the motivation. Crossfit does not like fat people, or people with bad knees.
I loved the routines...they kicked your butt! However, my orthopedic Dr. loved crossfit more than I did ($$$$), I found out after my MRI on my right knee and a cortisone shot due to constant swelling and pain that I have a knee cap tracking disorder/with a fissure on the backside of my patella so no squats, box jumps, or lunges until it's fixed(very painful when swollen and when it locks up). I can walk and run as long as there is no problems and short range leg work with limited weights. (which is a shame b/c my leg muscles and lifting ability is awesome, they called me a beast). Hubs had the same problem, but his knees are just shot....cartilage is all but gone and has had 3 cortisone shots for pain and inflammation.
So here I am in hopes to shred a little fat before we go. I see alot of people have had success, I will be one of those people!
