Hi all, a couple of days a go I told you I was going to embark on a little (or not so little) Detox.
And I start TODAY! To be honest I am actually really excited, who isn't fed up of all the chocolate and massive amount of food we all consume over the Christmas period?
I will list all the details below in case you want to join in or use it in the future. You will see that I am not doing a hugely strict juice diet or a maple syrup starve, I just think for me those type of things are too extreme and I am not doing this to loose weight. It is more of a challenge for me and to get in to better habits choosing healthier options and getting fitter.
So here goes... Details below
Avoid: refined carbohydrates, anything white - bread, pasta, rice, artificial sweeteners, alcohol, caffeine
Do: Eat little and often, don't skip breakfast, slow down eating, exercise, rest well, stay motivated.
Example daily meals
Breakfast:
1 chocolate or vanilla Protein shake with added fibre or a shake recipe, herbal tea, piece of fruit
Mid morning:
healthy snack (handful mixed nuts and seeds or berries with natural yoghurt)

Lunch:

Exercise: I'm going to pop along to the dance centre tomorrow and sign up for weekly ballet and Zumba classes.
Aims: be in bed by 11pm at night with technology away, read for 30 minutes. Up before 10am and no snooze button!!! I will also be doing 15 minutes of yoga everyday which I do off and on at the moment.
