I have been pretty proud of my steady weight-loss. It has not been a drastic change, just making better choices and exercising more. I am really please with the results, not only do I love the way I look, but I feel amazing too. As I previously posted, I struggle with PCOS, and one thing I found that reduced a lot of symptoms was exercise and no sugar. However, I have set some really high goals this year to take this great feeling to the next level. It seems that next level is within reach, I just can't grasp it fully, it is brushing my finger tips. So to make me accountable I am putting it out in the universe via this blog. I will grab that next level and pull myself up to it. 1. No more 3pm chocolates. 2. Exercise 5 days/week 3. Run the whole 10k on May 11 4. Only 3 meals out/week If that doesn't get me past the next 10lbs, I am doomed.

I was warned against all cleanses, but I thought this one would not be as bad because it you aren't starving yourself and was recommended by a naturopath. So, after the Christmas holidays I wanted to reset my body with the Wild Rose Herbal D-Tox Created by  a doctor from Calgary (thus the wild rose name), the program consists of take a bunch of  pills twice a day and these horrible tasting drops. For $45 you can grab this at basically any health food store, I got mine at Noah's. It is fairly easy and you are allowed to eat quite a bit. I may have found this easier than most because I eat a pretty plant based diet. I found a few good recipes on Pinterset that are wild rose approved. The first few days I spent some quality time with the bathroom, but after that I became fairly regular. Overall, I felt great during and after. Cravings weren't too too bad. There were a couple days my fellow detoxer had to slap my hand away from the chocolate.

Sigh. When being a leader in beauty & fashion has its disadvantages: Remember who had it first, girl. *Please note that I am joking.
