Congrats to Jennifer Jabaley for winning $270 worth of wonderful beauty products from HollyBeth's Natural Luxury line! Jennifer was drawn at random for her beauty tip of Pssst dry shampoo and Obagi skin care. Thanks to all for sending your beauty secrets!
And as promised, here is my very own, Post-Halloween 4-DAY "DIET-CLEANSE":
Per day: at least 8 glasses of h20, 2 cups green tea, NO limit on fruits/veggies, 1 protein (chicken breast, egg whites, salmon, cup nuts, etc). 1 glass wine OR 1 cup coffee or 1 piece of Halloween candy. In other words, a very small indulgence per day.
Hope you join us! Let me know how you do! We're finished Friday morning!

Amy Roache Stempkowski I started a 21-day cleanse on Saturday that includes no sugar, no dairy, no grains (except for brown rice and/or lentils), no caffeine, no meat (for the first 11 days). Yesterday was a text being that it was Halloween but it made me realize that I don't eat as much candy as I thought.

It's not so bad, sometimes you just need that extra little boost of motivation, that's all! =). @ Jill- you can make it work, use the candy as your 'indulgence' =) @ Amy- I agree, I was the same way w/ candies & sweets, but when I cut them I realized I didn't miss 'em at all!! Good luck with the cleanse everyone!

Julie Sparks I'm in! Here's my plan: Fruit smoothie for breakfast (just bananas, frozen strawberries & blueberries- is a little Splenda ok?). Loads of cut up veggies for lunch (cut them up ahead of time so it's easy and you're not tempted to stray). Apples for snack (they fill you up). Chicken and veggie salad with lemon and avocado (replaces dressing) for dinner. This seems a little torturous but I'll give it my best.
