Weighty Wednesday


So instead of a Wordless Wednesday (very hard for me to be "wordless"), I decided to make this a Weighty Wednesday. Yes, that would be me. Not holding my breath, trying to look, well, weighty. :p
I don't need to try because I really do feel frumpy and I'm definite that I packed on some pounds the past few days. Not only has my workout regimen been inanimate the past few days (I use to workout everyday!), my lazy butt has been consuming foods that are not even close to being healthy.
You think I'm exaggerating? Seriously, cupcakes, chocolates, pasta, white rice, soda, cocktails... shall I continue? You get the picture. Bad food.
And what you probably don't know (or you may know) is that I suffer from PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) which is an endocrine disorder that makes it twice as hard to lose weight.  It's basically as if I was pre-diabetic.
I shouldn't be touching too many sweets and carbohydrates at all!
Starting today I shall begin what I call my "detox". Please consult your physician before doing anything I mention because I'm no doctor and this isn't a detox that I can guarantee will in fact, detoxify. It's just something I kinda, sorta, made-up on my own but it works for me!

I am huge on Bolthouse Farms Green Goodness smoothies. They are packed with veggies and fruits to last you a whole day in a cup!
I sip on this drink throughout the day and eliminate carbohydrates (well, I can have very little), up my fiber intake and drink lots of water in between. Plenty of small meals/snacks throughout the day so my body doesn't shut down on me. And coffee is allowed!
I do this for 2-3 days until my system no longer craves the bad food. And it really does work for me!
It's all a mind thing. Tricking my body to not being so hungry and craving the bad stuff.
We'll see how it goes. Can't guarantee anything because the upcoming weekends are jam-packed with gatherings and fun (which includes tons of yummy food). *sigh*

What do you usually do to detoxify?
