Well it’s the night before Detox begins and I feel so ready for this. I have been indulging since the beginning of December in celebratory vino and lovely food. That’s the problem when your birthday is in early December and you have a passion for extended birthday festivities! They kind of merge with Christmas festivities then New Year’s festivities and BANG! Before I know it the days have turned into weeks and then a month.

Ouch – I must say that despite having gained a few laughter lines over the last 5 weeks I have also gained 2kg and feel like a sloppy, saggy old woman. I caught sight of myself in the mirror the other day and damn if I didn’t wonder whose butt it was. I think I must have lost mine along the way. The only option is to suck it up and get tough so hence the need for Detox to come early this year.

You may be wondering what I do during Detox and this is what I will share with you over the next 4 weeks. An inside scoop on how I make the transformation into vibrant, healthy, glowing me and also how I use the same principles to help clients experience brilliant results. Time and time again I am convinced by results and I challenge anyone to defy the way they feel after Detox.

I have made sure that my house does not have any contraband – I took my favourite corn chips to my brothers, I finished the open bottle of vino and I have filled the fridge with organic goodness from the markets. There is chocolate in the fridge but I don’t have a sweet tooth so that won’t be a problem. My weakness is savoury foods such as chips, cheese and pate so they must go. Oh and since I gave up coffee last year I have been cherishing my English Breakfast tea every day so that will be extremely challenging. I used to be a coffee addict and it was only through the work I did with my NLP training that I could turn that switch off.

One thing that I am excited about is that I have found organic hulled hemp seed nuts. These are so hard to find but I managed to track them down at the markets. Hemps seed nuts are incredibly high in healthy omega 3 essential fatty acids which are anti inflammatory and anti aging. I can’t wait to add them to my diet and start feeling the benefits. I will also be taking my favourite anti oxidant, Açaí berry powder daily. You must know by now that I am in love with this product and in combination with coconut water I sailed through the five months of filming Eat Yourself Sexy.

I have just had my Bio Impedence test done and I was a little shocked to discover that I have put on 2kg. That doesn’t sound like much but I have a small frame and even this small increase makes a big difference. When that 2kg is broken down it is actually an increase of 0.19kg of pure fat, 0.74kg of pure muscle and 1kg of fluid. My body age, or the age of my cells is 31 and considering I am 37 I am pretty happy. BUT I would love to be under 30 so that will be my aim for Detox. To do this I need to improve my cellular hydration and reduce my fat mass. Overall my muscle mass is already 3kg above the ideal, thank god for the PT sessions with Cory!

I wish you a lovely evening and encourage you to get on the Detox program with me. Over the next 4 weeks I will share my meals, exercise routine, tricks and tips for a successful Detox experience. Trust me – you will feel amazing by the end!
