Day #3, #2, #1...and DONE!

Jan 29th-31st Holy cow! The last 26 days have FLOWN by! My weight didn't change over the final three days. Total loss at the end was 10 pounds, which resulted in cinching my belt down 2 notches. I can't even describe what a great feeling that is!

I'm loving the way I feel, especially when I wake up. I didn't get to sleep until about midnight last night and woke up at 5:30 this morning feeling well rested and ready to go.

I've set some realistic goals for myself as I return to 'normal' eating. I intend to continue to drink at least one green smoothie or eat one large green salad every day, minimize red meat, restrict beer drinking to the weekends and try to only drink coffee a few times a week. My cravings during the detox were suprizingly few but my GOD! Did I miss COFFEE!! That is the first thing I'm having tomorrow morning and I cannot WAIT!

I will also continue to phase out processed products and start introducing natural versions. I was already using natural bar shampoo but have switched toothpaste and deodorant too. I'm hoping the rest of my family will follow my lead.

So there you have it. I hope you enjoyed taking this virtual journey with me and that I've motivated you to try a detox/cleanse for yourself. Only good things will come from it. Here's to your health!
