So, I am getting married in October. While I
could go on and on about my wedding, I really wanted to talk about another
journey inspired by my impending nuptials.
I’ve always battled with weight and my love of
food. I came to terms with it years ago, but after starting my new job with a
national healthcare nonprofit, I decided I needed to make some major lifestyle
changes.
In January, after realizing how bad I was really
eating and taking in too many cupcakes to count at a bridal expo, I decided to
cleanse my body by juicing for three days.
In comes Skinny
Limits – one of the best things that have ever happened to me! Not only do
their juices have an incredible taste, but they are all natural, cold pressed
fruits & veggies. So, both my fiancé and I decided to give it a go on
January 13 and completed a three-day cleanse.
Fast forward to today. I have now dropped 47
pounds and am on my way to a truly healthy lifestyle. We’ve pretty much
maintained healthy eating, eat at home much more than we used to, and I walk
4-6 times per week plus I go to Zumba once a week.
I decided to visit Skinny Limits this morning
and do another three-day cleanse. One of the biggest reasons I wanted to do the
cleanse again is to ward off all my bad cravings. In May there were
graduations, parties and even a Quinceañera and I had way too much cake. Really,
I’ve just had a hard time saying no to sweets since that first cupcake. After
my juice cleanse in Jan, I didn’t crave any kind of sweets, and couldn’t have
enough veggies.
So after a pretty bad weekend of some mimosas
and a big sugary waffle, I went ahead and picked up my juices this morning. So
far, so good…. It helps that I get to daydream about the last drink of the day:
Crescent Moon.
