Confessions of a single mom – Detox day 2

Posted by: | Comments (0)

I’ve learned two good lessons, one is an embarrassing no-brainer and the other is very intriguing to contemplate. So, watch the video and get the inside scoop, and here is today’s nutrition:

Freshly squeezed juice from approximately

32 oranges + raw honey and pure water

Today’s stats:
3 pounds loss
1.5″ lost from waist

Come back tomorrow for more…

I have been imperfect.  In fact, I have caved into the pressures that certain stresses have caused: divorce, selling a home, moving, holidays, running a business, kids.  2009 was a year in tumult.  They were necessary changes, but difficult to wade through.  As a result, my body is showing me signs, and I have to pay attention.  Here’s what I notice:

  • Certain days I’d liken my appetite to that of a hungry truck driver (lack of sleep some nights, sugar)
  • Getting thick in the waist
  • So far so good in the legs/hips, but that waist means more metabolically active fat :(
  • I don’t have that resistance to sweets as I usually do (red flag this one)

Recently someone gawked at me when I said that I have been eating too much.  “Really? But it’s all healthy stuff, right?”  Calories add up no matter what.

So, watch this video, post your comments and be my support. These next two weeks will be a journey for sure, but I’m determined to go through with it.  Don’t miss the smoothie recipes below!

Each of these smoothies were done in a 12-ounce Magic Bullet
