a first for everything...

i have a renewed reason to write on this blog... in the next few days i'll be starting what could very well be one of the biggest tests of my willpower when i begin a 12 day cleanse... why, you may ask, am i doing this to myself? a friend had mentioned the wild rose cleanse to me awhile back... i figured it'd be worth a shot to get rid of some of the heaviness your body can carry after years of rich meals and an indulgent lifestyle... plus, apparently the cleanse trims a few unnecessary pounds too... i bought the kit with full intention to do it, but situations sent that thought off track... now, months later i'm ready to give it a shot...


the first few days are apparently the toughest and then it gets a bit easier from there... this isn't an extreme cleanse -- like water and air only -- but it will mean staying away from flour, sugar, dairy and vinegars... basically the wild rose mentality is to rid of all the processed junk we consume on a daily basis... i don't believe i'll be able to stick to the diet post-cleanse, simply because i live by a rule that if i love something, even if it's bad for me, it's all good in moderation... i will not deprive myself of delicious goodness, but i will for 12 days...

i'll be documenting my journey/anger/cravings on this here blog... not only as an outlet for my rollercoaster of emotions, but also as a last ditch attempt to write on this darn thing again... stay tuned...
