Celebrating my 30th Birthday!

Yesterday I celebrated my 30th birthday!

I absolutely love my birthday. I start telling people my birthday is approaching a few weeks before the big day. I always plan my own party and try to make the day feel really special. Also, my birthday usually becomes a birthday week and I carry on the celebration as long as possible.

This year was no different. However, when I told people it was my 30th birthday that was approaching, the response wasn’t that positive. I got a lot of, “It’s all downhill from here” or “Now you’re officially old.”

To be honest, I feel like my life just keeps getting better and better. I can’t imagine life going downhill from here! I’m quite happy leaving my 20’s behind. During most of my 20’s I felt insecure, I hated my body, I wasn’t very self-aware and I was unsure about my future. At 30, I feel confident, strong and fit, I’m excited about where my career could take me and I’m much more aware of my feelings and emotions.

Look what I just got!!!! I am so excited to try Skinnygirl Daily!!

The Cleanse and Restore contains cleansing herbs and digestive enzymes. According to Skinnygirl Daily, reestablishing healthy probiotics in the digestive tract can support immune function, detoxification, healthier skin, digestive issues such as bloating and regularity, absorption of nutrients and weight management.

I have never been a fan of cleanses or detoxes. I believe that detoxing the body by only drinking some concoction or only eating raw fruits and vegetables is not healthy. You are not giving the body all the necessary nutrients it needs by eliminating food or surviving on produce. When doing a detox for 7-days or 30-days or whatever you may lose weight, but your metabolism slows down to accommodate the few calories you are consuming. When you return to your normal eating habits, you will gain the weight you lost back and maybe more. You also probably lost a lot of muscle mass because you weren’t eating protein. (Just my opinion based on my own research).

I’ve always wanted a way to detox without eliminating foods. I also wanted something that I could incorporate into my already healthy lifestyle. I don’t want to lose the muscle I have worked so hard to strengthen by eliminating protein from my diet!!! I would rather be strong and fit than skinny!

I’ve been interested in Bethenny Frankel’s Cleanse and Restore because you can still eat normal foods. The single serving packets that you pour into water are said to support digestion, enhance detoxification and aid in the absorption of nutrients. Perfect!!

I will begin using my Skinnygirl Daily tomorrow and report back in a few weeks!
