My 21 Day Winter Detox

Spring 2015 starts on Friday, March 20th.  I am super excited to start this little experiment with myself and my clients. You can try it too and by March 21 you will be cleansed of all the crap you ate in the past month. Give yourself a little kick start and stay “clean” for 21 days. You will be amazed by how much energy, confidence, strength, clarity and focus you will have just a few days in. By the end of 21 days you will be sure to be down 5 lbs on the scale. Bonus.

Here is how it works…

Give yourself 10 points per week

week #1 3/1/15-3/7/15

week#2  3/8/15-3/14/15

week #3 3/15/15-3/21/15

*Maintain 5 workouts per week(could be Walking your Dog, Yoga, Running, CrossFit, Bootcamp, Spinning..just move everyday).

If you eat any of the foods on the “cheat” list deduct a point for the week. Keep track of your points in a notebook, on your phone, whatever works for you and see if you can get 30 points by 3/21/15!
