Ok in my original post I was committed to taking this summer and losing weight. But with the kiddos home that made it that more difficult to eat right. Yes I haven't dieted this summer but I'm not going to let that get me down. In the last five days I've been embarking on a detox to help me get in the groove of things. I would have to say the last three days have been very difficult but I did it. The first two days of the detox I was still allowed to eat fruits, veggies, and whole grains. But the last three days I was only allowed to drink a mixture of lemon juice, pure maple syrup, and water. I was surprised at how satisfying as it was. I've never been able to stick to a liquid diet before. I'm really proud of myself. Tomorrow I get to start eating fruits and vegetables again. Who knew I would be excited to eat fruits and veggies. All I can say is I hope this works for me this time. I'm going to give it my all. Here's to being healthy. :-)
