After two weeks of volunteer work which is always rewarding we are back home to our regularly scheduled events....called LIFE. Also back to my own cooking and city. I have adventures to share from one of the city's I was in for a week, to be shared later this week, i really like San Pedro.

One of my goals has been to lose a good 50 lbs. It's been a struggle and getting older doesn't help. So today is the day I start a 48 hour cleanse. Why you may ask? Well one I got my annual physical test results back and my cholesterol needs to come down and if you've been following me on Instagram know I've been engaging in quite a few baked goods lately. So this is a jump start to getting back on a normal healthy eating program with a cheat once in a while and not so daily or weekly. After this cleanse I have a good healthy eating program that has worked for me, it's really based on the South Beach diet, which I hate to call a diet, but it's a good way to eat balanced healthy meals. For the initial cleanse I did a little research and seemed to like Dr. Oz's suggestions the best.

Here's why I've chosen Dr. Oz's 48 hour cleanse, because:

1. It's only 48 hours.

2. The foods he choses are naturally good for your liver and kidneys, none of this artificial stuff it's all things you can get at your local market or better yet Farmers market.

3. I thankfully work from home to make all this food.

4. I thankfully work from home for the other obvious reasons that a cleanse may cause.

I'll let you know how I feel and if it helps jump start me on the road to healthy living. Have a great week everyone.
