DETOX!!!!

So after concerns raised by my doctor following heavy usage of antibiotics this past year…it has been noted in his professional opinion that to clear out my system of these drugs and just to generally get thing back on track….I should partake in a four week detox diet. At first I thought to myself, he’s on to something here, perhaps a remedy I (often classified as a bit of a hypochondriac) hadn’t come up with. Alright so what is this going to entail??? Well, what it came down to was pretty simple, four weeks of cutting out pretty much ever enjoyable thing in my life expect for my PVR taped tv shows oh and my dog.

That’s right, it’s going to be four weeks of basically meat, veggies and water and a boatload of supplements including everything from oregano oil to grapefruit seed extract. Anyway, I said sure I’ll give it a whirl, how bad could it be?! I took the diet home started reading it over, the whole time thinking in my head, 4 weeks-that adds up to a month, I’m sure it will fly by, I’m sure I won’t even notice it, I’m sure I’ll feel like a million bucks once this thing is over with and then I’ll never look back! I sat down on my couch and really started to let it sink in…..what I’d be giving up that is….and some key vices started to become blazingly clear that would have to go out of the window in order to do this detox right. Those can’t live without items included:

Coffee, milk chocolate, cheese and the absolute worst of it all to part ways with for a month……..WINE!!!!!!!!!! What had I gotten myself into!!!

Then I started to think of all the events coming up like weddings, parties, outings after work that would be sabotaged by this new plan! So I then convinced myself I’ll slowly ease into it. After the wedding I’m a part of, I’ll start it then. Well, the wedding was last weekend, so now this thing is really looming over my head. The plan is to commence Monday morning with the diet, so the countdown begins. I’m tempted to fit in every good awful food item I’m craving in the meantime…smoke meat sandwiches, poutine, pints of beer, bacon, a 2 litre bottle of orange crush, sour cream and onion chips, a taco or maybe two, chicken fingers, a club sandwich, pizza….OMG!!!!

Atleast for tonight I have some of my favourite tv shows on (p.s. I love the new season of tv shows each year.. Sept. is my month..my b-day falls in Sept. and news seasons start..win, win) to take my mind off of what is to come: The Jersey Shore and The Big Bang Theory…are both on now on Thurs nights…it’s just too much entertainment for one evening!!! I’ll keep you posted on the trials and tribulations of this detox diet. I really hope it will be worth the effort in the end and I don’t become a raging manic wanting to kill everyone around me as I come off of my caffeine and sugar addictions, in the meantime!!! God speed.
