Every year around my birthday, I do a detox for a few weeks. Last year I did it for 8 weeks (4 weeks before and 4 weeks after my bday) and lost 20 pounds. I usually do it because I have a tendency to eat and drink alot without thinking and this is a way for me to start watching what I put in my body and get back on a healthy track. I don't consider this a diet by any means. I pretty much eat whatever I want except the following:

*Coffee
*Alcohol
*Sugar
*Junk Food

So today is day 1 (my birthday is July 25th btw) and I am going to try to keep a daily journal like I did last year. It's weird because it seems so much more difficult to do it this year. Last year the main reason why I did it was to lose those 20 pounds. I was in panic mode when I saw that I had gain so much weight (in my opinion) and was scared to gain even another pound. This year I manage to keep off 15 of those 20 pounds so im not really feeling pressure to do it. I am doing it though because I have been eating out alot lately and have been drinking way too much coffee and wine(love my wine lol). I hope to rid my body of all of that junk and only drink water and eat in moderation...at least for these 30 days. I will also be cooking everyday and bring my own lunch to work instead of ordering out. I am excited to get started but also a little apprehensive. The hardest thing to do is to keep motivated especially when you are already at your goal weight but I'm going to take it one day at a time. I did it before for 8 weeks so 4 weeks should be a breeze...I hope! I'll be keeping you all posted :-)
