I have been working myself up slowly to a much needed detox for too long now.

I really am abusing my body by

Drinking at least half a bottle of wine 5 nights a week

Smoking too much and mostly in secret !

Eating crap when the kids are in bed

Not making time for exercise and not swimming which i love because have usually downed a glass of wine with dinner !

Does anybody else want to join me for a full 7 day fag free wine free junk food free lots of water horrible horrible week-at the end of which we will shine from the inside out and feel somewhat marvellous !
pleeese

MrM - "pretty young things" - really. You sound like the office old codger.

MrMariella · 17/05/2007 20:38

Too kind!

fakeblonde · 17/05/2007 21:34

Kazzie am just about still here !
Headache was a real banger for almost 3 days .
No alcohol what so ever and i am really pleased with myself as have got so much more done in the evenings-bedtime stories are fun again !
Not drunk enough water but no caffeine and no junk.
Spent the day at a health spa today enjoying lots of relaxation and a good natter with my friend.
Realised it was the first time in 15 years i had used childcare without actually being at work !
Felt a bit guilty but it was soooooo good.

I really cant believe how much better my mood is by just eating much healthier and doing more exercise.
Hope everyone else is ok
MrM i am going to get around to doing some press ups soon .Your posts are rather motivating !

Been out to a friends
had too much wine

and an asthma attack!!!!

Been rather lazy today.

kazzia · 17/05/2007 21:45

Great to hear from you FB & glad you're doing so well. Impressed that you have got through 15yrs of childcare and never used it for a day off.

Having a day off with childcare is all I ever think about and spend half the year plotting how to contrive it.

No wonder you had to drink wine every night! Do you think you can keep up the good work?

kazzia · 17/05/2007 21:49

Talcy - shame on you but I bet it was fun .

I've got a night out with friends tomorrow and not sure that I can manage it on just Perrier

kazzia · 17/05/2007 21:50

Oh sorry Talcy - got so excited about the wine I overlooked asthma attack . Hope you are okay. Take it easy.

talcycharlesandeddy · 17/05/2007 21:51

Tis Friday night tomorrow...
Just a small one won't hurt!

talcycharlesandeddy · 17/05/2007 21:52

Thanks kazzia....have od'd on ventilin inhaler
bit shaky now.

talcycharlesandeddy · 17/05/2007 21:55

Never had asthma till last october..
Had to do peak flow etc for a while

Dr said.....'hhmmmm, that'll be smoke damage, it will eventually kill you, give up smoking'

and the rest is history.

MrMariella · 18/05/2007 07:29

thought we'd lost you there fakeblonde!! Press ups, oh yeah! no need to be a sweaty locker-room type to get a bit toned...am on 6 reps of 10, with 50 secs rests.

Right. Hard core vits and minerals today.

Kazzia - I am the office old codger, if truth were told..

Have watery day!!

talcycharlesandeddy · 18/05/2007 08:34

Morning all

yep, nice to see you fakeblonde.

I have a headache this am.

Have failed really ,in my attempt to dettox.

Gonna buy a detox plan from boots this weekend. A nd try harder next week.

Well done to you all...
Keep it up

kazzia · 18/05/2007 08:39

Hi All

Its the downhill straight. Only 3 days to go. Am not feeling physically that much greater but not drinking and eating healthy food for a week has made my halo grow brighter.

Good luck all

hellobello · 18/05/2007 10:09

Errrr... Euchhh....owwwww...my head hurts.... Last night a friend came round with rather a lot of wine and we drank it... I was doing so well! Sorry to let you all down, and of course myself. It feels like Saturday but it's not. Damn!!

hamma · 18/05/2007 13:51

has anyone tried non-alcoholic wine? it's much better than it ued to be and makes you feel like you're having a drink too - I've eben doing this for three weeks now and really not missed wine

talcycharlesandeddy · 18/05/2007 14:46

Mrmariella, thankyou for singing along with me.
You are a bit crap though!

talcycharlesandeddy · 18/05/2007 16:27

Not sure i would drink wine with no alcohol in hamma, it's a bit like eating vegetarian sausages...imo
.....although, the way my head felt this am, maybe i should give it a try!?!

Hellobello, hows the head?
Kazzia, damn you're good.

Still around, fakeblonde?

talcycharlesandeddy · 18/05/2007 18:05

No offence meant to vegetarian sausage eaters

kazzia · 18/05/2007 19:02

Talcy - I agree veg sausages/ decaff coffee/ no alcohol wine/ in fact 'erb tea (even though have had some earlier this week) erghh. Would rather eat/ drink something that is not pretending to be something its not although eating them wouldn't be as bad as afore mentioned activities with Jim Davidson - maybe on a par with being snogged by John Prescott. (Sorry Hamma).

DOn't worry talcy - I've been good all week but this is where it all goes horribly wrong - maybe. Am going to allow myself 2 glasses of wine tops. Problemo is those huge wine buckets they now serve everywhere - once you've guzzled one your good intentions bite the dust.

hellobello · 18/05/2007 19:34

I tried alcohol-free wine once - in the end it went mouldy in the fridge. Dh is on the way back from a day-trip to France and has loaded the car up with gallons of wine. It's dd#2's christening next weekend, and we need something to drink. I'm v. nervous about how many people there may be - it could be as many as a hundred, and I've got to make enough for everyone to eat, esp the kids. I expect I won't drink (unusually for me - I don't want to make a complete fool of myself).

Thanks, talcy for asking after my head - it's much better now! Please try not to worry about your legs - I bet they're not really sausage shaped! Legs are great, and it may help to think of the things you can do with them - does not include sticking them under the grill! Have you seen that prog on TV about how to look good naked? I think it's a really good idea and fantastic to persuade women to be happier in their bodies.

talcycharlesandeddy · 18/05/2007 19:51

Its 7.51
and i've had too much rum!

talcycharlesandeddy · 18/05/2007 19:56

Hellobello, glad yor heads better,
mrm says my legs are svelte,
so i'm feeling much better about them
Let us know how the christening goes won't you?

Kazzia, don't drink too much wine!!!

mrm hope your band was good?!?
did you sing along?

Fakeblonde
WHERE ARE YOUOOOO?

Back to th erum

ktmoomoo · 18/05/2007 20:00

weebleswobble · 18/05/2007 20:02

Is it a good idea to get it out of your system first? I'm thinking finish off all the goodies in the house then really go for detox?
