Motivational Monday

I shared with you about starting a detox on 01/18/16. I did not provide specifics just that there was a bunch of "no-no's". Attached is the daunting list I was given when I decided to join the 28 detox challenge with Arbonne. Now before I go any further I want everyone to know I usually do not advocate for supplements because I was a firm believer in getting what we need from good food. A few testimonials of people who experienced a lot of my ailments (specifically vertigo), and have since been cured, made me reconsider and jump in.

At first I thought it was going to be very difficult and nearly impossible to do. I have eaten clean before but not at this level. The no honey, maple syrup, soy or corn was throwing me for a loop. How could I possibly manage? Especially right before a Vegas trip?

Well, I managed and so has my hubby. We are both feeling better and energized. I thought I was going to meet my breaking point at yesterday's super bowl party when chocolate cake was staring me straight in the face but I got my berries and munched on.

We are on the last week of the 28 days but this is not the end. I said I was going to detox for a total of 90 days so the clean meal planning continues all the way through 04/03/16 at which point I will re-evaluate. It may very well be a way of living at that point.

Here's to good health and new commitments.
