Battling The Post Holiday Blues

I hate winter.  February in  particular. It is short, but yet so long.  This winter has not hit the one month mark yet, and I am starting to  experience  the deep depression  that usually commences for me  on  February 1st.  A lot of what folks are feeling in  the weeks into  the new year are financial  strains as those holiday bills start to  trickle in.  "Did my kids need to  have so  many gifts under the tree?  Oil tank is empty AGAIN?"  This year, not having full time employment is really taking it's toll on me.  I am battling a week-long cold.  The employment opportunities from  5 years ago are not there.   I feel exhausted and drained.

Fortunately, I have a plan.  To recharge and re-energize.  On January 20th, I am beginning my 30 Day Detox program with Arbonne's 30 Day Feeling Fit Kit, as well as hosting a 90  day Virtual Boot Camp  and Feeling Fit Challenge.  I will share websites, information  about cleaning eating, exercise, and other strategies in  bringing success to  the journey of health.

As I wrote in  a previous blog, I undertook the Arbonne Detox program in  December 2012.  I had great success: 11 pounds lost, as well as 10 inches, and a whole new way of looking at the foods I take in to  fuel my body.  I need to  do it again, as fatigue and illness is having a negative effect on  everyone around me.  I will of course blog about my progress, and keep a video diary as well.
