Well, it’s Sunday, January 5th. I start my 8th annual cleanse tomorrow. I traditionally make it a 21-day event. However, I’m trying a new program that suggests 30 days, so I may make an adjustment, especially if the fun takes over and I’m seeing great results and need to prolong the positive experience.
Along with the cleansing on the inside, I’m committing to a three-week Total Gym challenge to define muscles and explode excess fat, too. I’m still debating if I’ll share before and after pix. The brave part of me says I will. The coward in me says, “No way!” Three weeks from now I guess my decision will be revealed.
I must admit… I’m excited about this year’s cleanse! After seven years of the successful, 3-week elimination of dietary toxins, alcohol, and certain allergy-prone, trigger foods, the anxieties about abstaining in each moment have been tempered, and even replaced, with a certain surety of the expected effect. I know the good outcome; I’ve lived it seven times now! I know I must have the guts and determination to take each day as it comes and to trust that each day, doing without the familiar, leads to observable and expected improvements in energy, clarity, and focus.
It’s almost time, MARIA. Let’s get to it!
