blah blah blah blah blah you and I both know the drill right now.

Beata turned 7 months last week and I am still 15 pounds over my PP weight. The past few weeks I have been eating very healthy and it is showing. I had been struggling around 196 for many weeks and am now down to 189. Rob and I are discussing our next baby and arranging a trip to Poland around it so time is everything right now. Of course, we need to evaluate cost of daycare vs. my salary. $375/WEEK is a heck of a lot of money (about $20k annual). But, I do make a lot more than that plus have benefits so I guess I will have to come back yet again...sigh.

So, to get my body back in check and create a clean slate for baby number 2, I've decided to do a 21 day detox. It is NOT a fast. I will be drinking soooo many vegetables and fruits that I may grow roots of my own! I am begining on Apr 6th. The detox will end and I will need about 9 days to gradually introduce solids to my system. This may sound weird, but it all makes perfect sense to me from being around Beata. I'll basically be eating like a 6 month old - minus the formula, of course. I will be getting protein from protein shakes so I hope what little muscle I have will not melt away. I will continue to go to the gym...or should I say, I will go to the gym even more frequently to assist with the detox. I want to keep my heartrate up and blood flowing to get those toxins out.

I have also spoken to a colon hydrotherapist and will incorporate them into the detox for a 4 session full cleaning. (TMI, I know)

I plan to blog daily just to keep me focused and follow my progress. It will be a good release for me as I have read that there is a stage of misery as your body is releasing a flood of toxins. Good thing my husband is so supportive!
