Climbing Back on the Wagon

So a few good friends have started Clairify during the Lenten season.  A couple of them are even writing a blog about it.  I myself have restarted Clairify this week for Lent with my husband.

A mutual friend (and patient) was had a baby shower on Saturday.  I walked in fashionably late and the fantastic party was in full force.  I looked across the room and was happy to see a few of my "cleansers" there as I was dying to hear about their experiences of the week.  They looked a little sheepish and were holding beautiful, delicious glasses of champagne.

I laughed.

This was a baby shower for a good friend.  What a wonderful time to and celebrate.  Enjoy.  Savor.  Just restart the plan the next day.

Clairify is not about punishing yourself or withholding pleasure.  It is about kickstarting a healthier and more energetic you.  It is about examining your relationship with food and drink.  It is a gift you give yourself.  A challenge to see how good you can feel.  How well you can sleep.  How clear you can think.

Ahem.  That being said I have to come clean.  Last night was one of my best friends birthday party celebrations.  We surprised her with a limousine and went up to big old Houston for the evening.  We had a ball.  I danced, laughed, sang, and had a beautiful time with my girlfriends.  I had a few drinks - but was mindful not to overindulge.  I drank liters of water all night long.

By tradition, we ended up at WhatABurger in the wee hours and I got my standard #8.  I enjoyed.  I savored.  I gobbled up every last crumb.  I woke up still laughing about the funny stories from the night before with no hangover.  Happy and excited I whipped out my blender and jumped right back on the plan.  No regrets.

Happy Birthday Heidi!!!!!!!!!
