During the holidays, like everyone else I imbibed, ate and enjoyed the treats! By January my poor joints were inflamed, my system reminding me that I don't consume heaps of dairy, wheat, sugar and additives for good reason. Amazingly, while I think a kilo or so snuck up on me, I'm pretty astounded that my weight and waist-line were both back to where they were at my last "check-in" by the time I was ready to do a health tune-up.
Since I'd done a full-blown system detox previously, it is not recommended you do another large detox for at least a year or so. But a mini-detox was definitely in order, so for the past 2 weeks I did the "express" version. Part of that was getting back on a strict diet that excluded inflammatory foods, additives, sugar, caffeine and alcohol. I'm happy to say the inflammation is down, celllular health is up, and the body fat, waist & weight all went down again! Since Andrew wanted wine with dinner tonight, I decided to go ahead and have a glass, and even a little post-dinner, dark and thankfully soy-free belgian chocolate.
I'm glad to eating healthy again after the holidays, and look forward to disappearing more. I also look forward to being able to make those glasses of wine and cups of coffee disappear again as well!
