Healthy Weight Loss

As a no-caf person for 6 years now, I try to stay away from decaf too. It is supposed to be much more unhealthy than regular coffee (google/processing). Also, decaf has caffeine in it, sometimes a lot of it. I splurge on something decaf (meaning about 1/4 of a cup at most) when I'm dying for it but that's a rarity. The hardest part of no-caf for me is not having chocolate but the mind and body adjust with time.

My life is about to have some structure and consistency back, so I'm hoping to really start focusing on my health including healthy eating and adequate exercise. I'll be back in my own house in a few days, and I have a treadmill, elliptical and bike there, plus I just had a cortisone shot that is addressing some of my pain issues.

One of the things that I plan to do starting on the 2nd is a one-week holistic whole foods cleanse. It's NOT one of those purge (aka poop your brains out) cleanses - it's a careful balance of whole foods that work together to reset your system, and is one that several friends have followed and loved. I'm hoping that it will help me pull away from sugars and other craving foods, get me back into eating the smaller portions that my body's good with when I give it the chance to not be stuffed full every day, and more. There's a small fee for getting the information but it includes support from the holistic health counselor who developed the program.
