I had been feeling “thick around the middle” for a while, and kind of had resigned myself to “this is what it’s like at ‘your age’.” But, I did a second Neurographica workshop a few weeks ago and decided to draw a manifestation drawing. One of the things I wanted to manifest was losing weight/inches.
After driving cross-country (and eating out the whole time) and then arriving in Carmel and staying in AirBnBs (and not cooking as much as I could have), and just generally developing not the best eating habits, it was time to make a change.
The next morning I was scrolling through FB and I came across an online course on DailyOM – reducing menopausal belly fat – a 10 day program. Just what I was looking for!
I bought the course (and it’s nice – they give you 3 price points to choose from – you pick the one that works best for you, and none of them are uber expensive)
It’s been a whirlwind of shopping and chopping, and a lot of work and washing dishes, and using a lot of brain power to try to lessen how many trips I made to the store (didn’t do so good at lessening trips, but I think I have a better bead on things now)
The basic gist of the detox, besides specific foods you eat, is to eliminate gluten, sugar, and dairy (except for eggs). There are 3 phases – bloat busting, fat burning, and hormone-balancing. The recipes are delicious and not difficult to make (daily broths are a lot of chopping but what you make lasts for a few days so not too bad. Plus there are store-bought alternatives if you don’t want to make your own)
I have to admit I have not craved any of the foods that have been eliminated. I even skipped drinking coffee for a week (but I had my first cup today – yum!)
And, I have lost 2-3 inches off my waist already!!!! I feel so much better!!!!
I already feel great but I am looking forward to seeing what the next 3 days brings. I’ll keep you posted.
‘Til then, thanks for reading! Talk soon!
