Weight loss is the number one made New Year Resolution, and yes, I’m one of these statistics. Not just to lose weight, but a full on overhaul of my mind body and soul. I want to get healthy physically, mentally and spiritually. I’ve always been real health conscious even since I was younger. I’ve understood the concept of cleansing the body for over 15 years now. In fact, my first experience with cleansing was the Master Cleanse. The one where you just drink lemon juice for days. Not only was that one impossible to stick with, but I ended up gaining way more weight after my 3 day attempt. Since then I’ve done more research on the topic and found that it’s atually not that smart to go more than 2 days on a liquid diet because it begins confusing your metabolism and creating long term damage. Also, it’s extemely important to be providing your body with an abundance of nutrition on those days.

I’ve been pregnant and nursing for 6 years straight and haven’t been able to do a cleanse all this time until now. Monday was my first day back on the 30 Day Nutritional Cleansing Program. It’s the same program I’ve been doing for over 12 years, in between having babies of course, and it’s the one that initially helped me lose 25 lbs and go from a size 10 to a 5 in less than six weeks. Also, has helped me lose the baby weight each time.

The holidays set me back just a little. I can still fit in my size 5 jeans, but not in a flattering way, more of a perfect muffin top kinda way.

First step to cleansing… Take your BEFORE picture.

You know how all before pictures the people always look depressed? Well, here’s my “HAPPY but I know I can improve” before picture.

Watch my Insta Stories to see my work in progress and next week I will post a progress picture and new blog post to go with it.

We all want to lose weight fast. We are also becoming a more health conscious society rather than a “being skinny” obsessed people. Don’t get me wrong, losing weight is still a priority for most women, especially moms. We put our bodies through so much in order to bring these little babies into the world. Then we pretty much devote all our time and energy into raising them. Needless to say, it takes a tole on our bodies and our health. More and more we are realizing that our health can NOT be put on the back burner while we raise our children. Our health is exactly what will power us through the many hours required for caring for our family.
