Happy New Year

Happy New Year

2008!

The holidays were filled with family, friends and lots of food! While the kids played with their new Christmas video games and gadgets, I ate cookies and chocolate! I put on 5 lbs but once January 1st came about, I made plans to begin a detox regime and lose what I gained.

As I stood in the supermarket checkout line, a magazine caught my attention. "First For Women" had the big headline "Miracle Detox" plastered on the front. I stood in line and did what all bored grocery shopping patrons do... I read the article! It was written by non other than my hero Ann Louise Gittleman who authors "The Fat Flush Program" that I follow when not eating holiday goodies. The detox looked easy enough (3 days) so I bought the magazine and excitedly went home and made up a pitcher of the 'miracle juice' which is basically the cranwater I drink daily with cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, fresh squeezed oj and lemon juices. Yesterday, each hour on the hour, I drank either an 8 oz glass of miracle juice or an 8 oz glass of water.
I woke this morning to a grand loss of 4 lbs! :) Today I went shopping up at Whole Foods for my flaxseed oil and other necessesities we were out 0f. I came upon a supply of cut oranges to 'sample' and was happy to take one. Then I came upon a sample plate of chocolate coated biscotti......and happy to say I reached to take one but that voice in my head screamed YOU DON"T NEED ONE! and I happily went on my way without putting one in my mouth.

This year I commit to staying healthy and eating right with more weight loss and lost inches as the perk!

I'd love to go on a cruise this year

By the way..I won 2nd place in the Unikeyhealth.com 's contest (grand prize was a cruise, I won $350 gift certificate to their store which is where I buy my vitamins)

So....here's to a recommittment to me in 2008!
