Detox Water

I don't make a lot of resolutions, but when I do, I tend to stick with them.  For example, this blog started as a New Year's resolution 2 years ago and I'm still here, doing my thing!  So, one of my resolutions this year is to drink more water.  I know, a no-brainer, but in my world, I'm a bit of a coffee addict.  I drink coffee all morning (my cut-off time is noon) and then I feel I don't drink enough until the evening, when I sometimes enjoy that glass of wine at the end of the day.

Well, given the amount of coffee (and sometimes wine) that I drink, I also feel that my body needs a bit of a cleanse.  So I figured that I would add a few things to my water to increase it's taste appeal and hopefully add a few other benefits too, like some extra nutrients and maybe some detox effects too!

Here is my Detox Water:

Lemon
Lime
Cucumber
Mason Jar
Filtered Water

Wash the lemon, lime and cucumber.  Slice. Put into a mason jar. Fill with water. Seal, and refrigerate overnight. Simple. So excited about this!

Do you make your own detox water? What do you put into it?

Resolve to Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle with Special K

The season of indulgence is behind us now.  Now we are back to reality, the grind, and our annual "fresh start".  How many resolutions did you make this year?  I made a few, you can check them out here.  

One thing that I am hoping to do this year is get back into running.  I was never a superstar runner, but I always enjoyed running.  It was great "me" time, something every Mother could use more of :-)

How are you doing with your resolutions?  Me? I'm doing alright!  I've started back to the gym a few times a week.  I'm a fair-weather runner, so running in the winter is not my thing.  But I am perfectly happy on a cardio machine, building my endurance up for running outside.  Hopefully I will get there, but in the meantime, I am happy to be more active!

There are tonnes of resources out there to help you with your resolutions - whether they be to lose weight, eat better, or like me, get more active.  One that I've been checking out is My Special K.  It's an online resource that anyone to use to help track our goals and feel good about ourselves.  You can start your own My Special K Plan at www.myspecialk.ca - head on over to check it out and make your own plan too!

Thank you Kellogg's for providing me with some new exercise gear and fuel to help me with my goals!
