Hey all - hope you all had good weekends - bit nervous this Sunday night - because tomorrow I got on a week long 'cleanse' that starts and ends with a colonic irrigation, and consists of vegetable juice, fruit juice, vitamins and minerals and er - water in between. And that's it. ( I can already see Zar and Rosie raising a disapproving eyebrow)
No kidding, it is time to just give my poor old body a bit of a break.
Firstly let me say this is NOT a form of crash dieting. I am not doing this for the pounds/kilos. Of course I always think I could do with some weight loss but this is a conscious decision by me to just cut my poor body a bit of slack. London life is fast, crazy and fun. When I am at work I eat like an angel, and only really OD on tea. When I don't work, I socialise or sleep. That consists of late night, late food, drinking and bouncing around a lot. It's not exactly very peaceful!
Nearly 2 months ago I hurt my neck and with the exception of the odd 20 minute 'cruise' on the stationary bike or elliptical, I have been made to stay off all forms of exercise. It's been yuk! I have lost about half a stone in weight but am wobbly and feel huge. I finally started back at the gym last week and felt so much better after just one workout but I still feel like my poor old body needs a little help.
I'm also really interested to find out what it's like to actually detox. I eat a diet that is really high in fruit and veggies and protein. I am not a massive dairy or wheat freak so giving these up just for a short time shouldn't be too hard (I guess my afternoon half bar of chocolate might be tough but it's only for a week!) I could do with a week off caffeine, booze and fags. I am also, dear readers, being my own kind of guinea pig. I am doing this to experience what detox is like, and find out what the after effects of a week like this is on my body, my weight and my wellbeing.
Wish me luck and please don't come near me with anything fattening!! I shall report back on Wednesday as to how I am going!
