But have lost 4.5 kg this week!! But I believe/am sure this was fluid from fluid retention, (swollen hands and swollen ankles), so some of the crappy food I have been eating prior to this week must have had a terrible impact on my health!!kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09495211646409874626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7526774324663293727.post-32937726921510984402012-07-18T04:05:17.101-07:002012-07-18T04:05:17.101-07:00I have found that the de-tox headaches that I have...I have found that the de-tox headaches that I have had in the past have lasted about 5-7 days - sorry I can't help with any recommendations - you just need to let your body get rid of the rubbish and do what it needs to do to.

If I know I have to write it down I will often not eat the biscuits / chocolate that I would have eaten if I wasn't holding myself accountable in the journal.<br />3pm is my worst time too. I have started having a protein bar at that time and it did help me. Right now I am really battling but not only at 3pm - the whole day !!!!<br />Have a great day and keep up the great job you have started.<br />Love, hugs and positive energy.<br />MeMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14520543769631877571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7526774324663293727.post-47900292051739198852012-07-17T17:34:44.717-07:002012-07-17T17:34:44.717-07:00You are a stro ger woman than I am!

Having the support of your family is one of the best things you can have - and, for me, being organised and planning ahead is the other. Booking in appointments for yourself with exercise is another way to help you get it done - you know that for those 30 mins of the day you aren't cooking / washing / ironing / planning - you are exercising. It works. <br />I'll be following your journey and cheering you along - we all need support in our endeavours.<br />Love, hugs and positive energy !<br />MeMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14520543769631877571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7526774324663293727.post-5677805764823749362012-07-15T21:44:02.936-07:002012-07-15T21:44:02.936-07:00Way to go Jos.

I look forward to seeing you progress and success.<br />We are embarking on changes here at the moment we are currently working towards a Failsafe elimination; taking at all additives, preservatives and other nasties that occur naturally in foods like amines etc. we 're going on this journey to assist my three your son with issues but we are all doing it together.<br /><br />For us there is probably going to be a lot of tweaking of natural foods and changing over, as he seems to be quite reactive to things occur naturally in some foods. But of course like most kids he reacts to artificial things to. It's going to be a long road, but it's got to be done.<br /><br />Best of luck with it all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7526774324663293727.post-81369863255142161372012-07-15T18:28:12.245-07:002012-07-15T18:28:12.245-07:00Thanks B!
