Its official... I started a 90 day health reboot! Last year when my Mother passed started a down cycle in my health and taking care of myself. I went back to my comfort food that I rarely consumed at that time ~ Coke. Then came the quickie sandwiches which meant a lot of bread. Before I knew it, the old sugar addiction was in full force. Pile on that the massive stress I was experiencing and disruption of routine and things did not go well. The weight started piling on, my thyroid told me to take a hike and I had a hard time looking in the mirror due to Rosacea. Fortunately, we already have the thyroid much happier but other problems are still hanging around. So, the next 90 days are about getting me back to where I want to be. The first stage is a shortened Master Cleanse (4 days) to reset the sugar and caffeine cravings. Then it is about focusing on a non-processed diet of mostly fruits and vegetables with regular juicing. Also, after the cleanse is getting back to a simple but rigorous exercise routine. I did Body For Life years ago and it worked well for me and this will be loosely based on that. So, it will be 6 days of exercise / healthy eating with a free day each week. All this along with a lot of other assorted self-care goodies. I do have a weight goal but that is not the focus. I plan to shed the excess down to 180lbs in the 90 days and then keep dropping to about 170. My focus is more on fitness as I want to actually add muscle weight while dropping the fat. I had hit 206 but weighed in this morning at 197.4lbs. My ultimate goals are more mental clarity, more stamina, and less fatigue along with clearing up nagging issues. If you feel led to take a leap yourself, feel free to share your journey and we can encourage each other. If you dont like the Master Cleanse, no need to share with me. I have done it several times before and it works very well for me as a modified fast to break cravings, give my intestinal system a break and to let things clear out. Dr. Jeff Donahue has me on a great supplementation program based on my current chemistry so I wont be trying other products during this as I want it to be as pure and natural as possible. So, there it is, a public declaration! That will help hold me accountable as I know you guys will be asking me about it.
