Fads

I never meant this blog to be about fads, but I think I may be just getting on a long run of fads.  I just finished an organic cleanse.  I didn't do the master cleanse where someone tries to live on water, lemon juice and red pepper for over a week.  What I did do was go to my local market and get a three phase, 2-week plan.  And I do have to say it was amazing how much waste my body flushed out.  But as far as how I feel?  Not much different.  I didn't loose any weight, in fact I have even gained some of the inches back after the South Beach.  So neither South Beach nor the cleanse resulted in sustainable results.
As it is lent and many believe that if you give up something you enjoy or are overly involved with, I have decided to give up the scale and the measuring tape.  This may seem like nothing of a sacrifice, but it is something I know I am spending way too much thought on, and that's just not healthy.  And this whole experience is about being healthy all the way through.  So bye, bye scale, hello mile 4.
