Okay, this is it. I’ve survived the detox! Whoo-hooo!! But did I pass? I would give myself an 8/10. I had my coffee each day. This way suppose to stop at day 4…still okay to me. I also caved and ate a couple of sugar cookies and popcorn yesterday. However, I did everything else and I feel great about the entire experience.

It was not totally insane. I did not feel food deprived. I just really wanted that coffee each day! For those of who whom may not know the detox plan that I have followed, you can find it in Jon Benson’s book the Every Other Day Diet Plan. I follow his recommended lifestyle plan. I plan on losing 5% body fat by April 2. His plan is very easy to follow and allows me to have a ‘cheat meal’ on every third day!

To accomplish this goal I am also ritually doing my workouts from the Fit Chic Year of Workouts. They only take me 20 minutes to complete! I am getting the results that I need and I really am in better shape right now than I have ever been! I have been hearing so many of my friends complain lately that they wish they felt better, and that they are in their 30’s so it’s too hard to get in shape, or that at ‘their age they cannot jog anymore’…the list goes on. That’s just crazy thinking! I was a sprinter in high school. I was in fantastic shape. However, the body I have today is a lot more healthy than it was back then. I eat better, I sleep better, and I exercise properly.

Don’t let your age limit you! You can be in the best shape of your life by taking action right now!

So go after your dreams,

Cheers to health,

Angie
