So February 3rd the hubby and I started a 28 day detox...basically an oil change for the body. We added lots of fruits and veggies...healthy foods and flavors...I changed my grocery shopping habits and we eliminated many toxic, inflammatory foods from our diet(dairy, caffeine, booze, gluten, soy, sugar...to name a few)...and I am super happy to report that we are feeling good!!! In 4 weeks we collectively lost 23.5 lbs and 14.5" in our mid-sections(took measurements at belly button and 2" below belly button) we also both lost over 7% of our body weight. Honestly, weight loss was not our goal...it was to impress healthy eating habits on our children, find alternatives to some of our not so great eating habits, and get our bodies in a place where we could maximize the exercise that we are doing!!
If you have thought of doing a detox...but what you have heard freaks you out...this detox is the one to check out...here is my mom's website (Kay Husman - Arbonne Independent Consultant RVP) with all the need to know information about it...I mean honestly what would it hurt to check it out?!?!?(next group starts March 31) I am telling you I am feeling good...and to be completely open and honest about it here are my before and after photos.
When I took my DAY 1 photos I was totally freaked out...NO WAY would anyone else see these...especially splashed on my blog?!?!? #eek!! But on DAY 28 when I took those photos...I must admit I have looked at them over a dozen times...in 28 days I totally changed the way I look and more importantly the way I FEEL...and my body on the inside is operating smooth because I have released all of my toxic baggage!! I so thought the first thing I would do once done with the cleanse would be to brew up a batch of coffee...and guess what? I couldn't do it because I didn't want to ruin what I have started. Don't get me wrong I will have an occasional slice of cheese, adult beverage, or the coveted warm cup of joe in the morning...but I will be more selective and not so indulgent.
