Diary Adventures of LagosMums: DALM |Â Detoxing my Body and MindÂ
Unhealthy eating choices and lack of exercise had taken its toll and I was feeling lethargic, bloated, several pounds heavier than I needed to be. I talked about trying to loose weight a lot, I passively talked about the need to exercise and I even made a move and bought an elliptical bike, but It was simply gathering dust in my room. I acted as if talking about the need to exercise would make the weight drop off. My biggest challenge was and is time, making the time out of a very busy 24 hours for exercise just seems impossible.
I started trying to watch what I was eating, So minimal carbohydrates, no soft drinks etc. But the weight was just not going anywhere, I would seem to loose a little weight and within a week I would weigh myself and the weight I lost would be back.
I ran into a friend who was talking about a detox program she had started that involved eating only vegetables and fruits juices for seven days. I have heard of several quick schemes and was generally skeptical about all of them but I decided to see what this program was about. So I decided to place a call to Mrs J.
She asked me why I was interested in this detox program
I told her I was truly tired of feeling lethargic, having low energy, feeling bloated with a big tummy and being stuck at a weight that just didn’t seem to budge. I honestly felt stuck and wanted to do something to jumpstart a change.
She said I sounded like the right candidate and advised a 7 days minimum period for the detox. She mentioned that I would notice a change to my skin and my body as well as of course the benefit of loosing weight. The detox would reset my body and get rid of all the accumulated toxins.
However the detox wasn’t cheap and I thought to myself why can’t I just blend fruit and juice myself at home? But the truth is I needed the discipline that comes with having someone monitor me and encourage me to stick to the program. Also i hoped with the money I was paying I believed i would take it seriously.
I took the plunge, made the deposit, had the rules explained to me for the commencement of the 7 day detox and chose the date to commence the detox as i had to pick the freshly blended juices every morning for the day. Serious commitment o!
I took all the vital measurements Bust-Waist-Hips-Weight.
Stay tuned for the results of this detox.
