If you have never cleansed before I would suggest doing it before your start your NBE routine, because normal things we are exposed to everyday have toxins in them as well as estrogenic compounds. For example cleaner fumes, soy products, hormones in milk and other cow products we consume, etc. You can get a 7 day full body cleanse kit at any health food store, vitamin shop, etc. Walmart may even have them, not sure, I order mine on amazon due to location but before then went to a health food store. For just a liver cleanse milk thistle can be used as directed on the bottle of the brand you buy for 7 days. When I started UB this time around I started the first day after my period. I use the Nuva Ring as birth control, so the day I inserted a new one, if on a pill BC, the first day of a new pack.
I'm the same height as you, and was 136 during the winter, so feel your pain. As far as workouts, anything is better than nothing. Do what you enjoy, if you aren't enjoying your workouts you won't stay motivated and you will think of it as a chore and give up on it eventually. I'm now down to 128, I was down to 124 but moving soon and finding it hard to make time for workouts currently. What I personally do, is I have the Zumba dvd set, I do those some days, I also have the kinect for the xbox 360 with 2 games I do for workouts, Dance Central and Biggest Loser Ultimate workout. I like all of these. If you want to lose tummy, proper diet is essential as well as cardio workouts paired with strength training of the core. A body builder I know told me to do the strength training after the cardio workout for best results. So if you are doing a strength training DVD, do your cardio first like running or jogging if that's what you prefer, then do your DVD. I find I have to workout 5-7 times per week to see good results, otherwise the 2-3 workouts I'm getting in right now are not as sufficient. HTH and GL
