Should Old Aquaintance Be Forgot

“Throw your hands up -they’re playing our song–Butterfly, fly away!”

Ok Wellness warriors—last night we celebrated this past year in which we have taken great strides to become better versions of ourselves!  We haven’t epically failed like the 90% of people last year that made 2012 New Year’s Resolutions to get healthy.  We have done it!

We may not have shed the pounds we hoped.  We may have cheated and had a few setbacks, but we have taken self inventory and started really thinking consciously about every single thing we put in our mouths.  We have started the lifestyle modification to eating more REAL FOOD.  And for those reasons alone, we have had a great 2012.  That being said,  let’s not set any major goals for this year other than continuing to become the best ever ourselves.  Let’s eat like cavemen and really think as a species rather that follow the food pyramids that others have dictated to us!   90% of success is driven by mindset so make sure to tune into Underground Wellness.com tomorrow for a recap of the live radio show in which Dean Dwyer discussed how to get your mind right for 2013!  Also, The Total Body Cleanse is now available at www.elkaimcleanse.com.  HAPPY NEW YEAR—It’s a party in the USA.  We forget old unhealthy habits and never bring them to mind!!!!!

Stay tuned for more Smoothie Posse recipes and testimonials!  We are starting 2013 off right!

Detox Cleanse

Well, it’s that time of the year when we all start making resolutions for change.  We aspire to become better people and to take better care of ourselves.  We set unrealistic goals, take an all-or-nothing approach, and most of us will epically fail within the first few months.  Weight loss, nutrition, and self-improvement are choices that we make daily, every time we open our mouths to put something into our bodies. 

Many of you have asked about cleansing and detox kits.  Don’t buy them!  Anything that is artificial or comes as a supplement or powder isn’t worth chancing.

I do think cleansing and detox can be healthy and play a good role in jump starting you into a new healthier lifestyle.  I came across a 14 day detox program that uses only real food to detox which I think is safe for most.  It also incorporates social support for the program which is where many of us fail in our New Year’s Resolutions.  You can learn more about this at http://www.yurielkaim.com/
