Detox

I was doing so well getting things in order for the wedding until I hit a wall. Last week, I ate McDonalds twice and taco bell another time. Come Friday, we headed to Palm Springs where all you do is sit around at the pool and drink cocktails then head out for dinner. Steak both nights! On the way home Sunday, we were going through our fast food nation and I settled on KFC! I went big too. Dark meat, original recipe with mash potatoes and gravy, biscuit and cole slaw. Didn't leave any survivors! Needless to say, Monday began detox. I thought I would share my "Sassy Water" that is helping me get back into wedding shape.

Sassy Water

8.5 cups of water
Thinly Sliced Ginger Root (a knuckle)
1/2 Thinly sliced cucumber
1 Medium thinly sliced lemon
12 Mint leaves

Mix and let sit overnight. The next day, drink the entire pitcher! We'll see how well I do with that. I am the girl who HATES to drink water. I did make a mini concoction to get myself on track for today. I just put 2 thin slices of cucumber and 1 slice of lemon in my tall glass. It's amazing how good cucumber makes your water taste. My goal is to fast and cleanse my body.

I also made myself a oatmeal mask last night that made me look silly. Danny called me the cookie monster and kept whining for milk. However, my skin felt really soft and smooth.
