Morning detox

There is no secret that getting one's body back after pregnancy is tough. And that's even if you were one of the lucky ones who barely gained weight/ was back into pre-pregnancy pants when leaving the hospital like I was. Of course I think I have had it easier than alot of people due to genetics and breastfeeding but I still struggle with the extra layer of fat on my stomach, and my newly wide(r) body that has taken this opportunity to fully spread out. Here is where I am at now:


These photos are somewhat misleading. My extra layer of belly fat is really only apparent when I sit down or wear tight shirts. Because of that, I've been sticking to loser fitting tops. As for my wideness, I still have 1.5inches on my waist, and 1 inch on my hips to lose. Along with exercising and eating a high protein, high fiber, moderate carb diet I also am trying morning detoxes. 




Per 24ounces:
3 Mint leaves
1/4 cucumber
1/2 lemon
Let soak overnight

This drink helps reduce bloating and naturally flushes out your system. Trust me ;)

Give it a try and let me know what you think!!

  1. WOW Josie, you look amazing, amazing. You look like you have abs again. I am trying that detox drink, it sounds and looks healthy :).

    I am with you tho (much bigger and larger), the belly looks flat when standing but when I sit, it's a flab fest. I want to tighten things a bit. I hope detox and abs will get me there.

  4. You look great! I'm not sure how I will fair after pregnancy,.. I'm a fit and active person normally, so hopefully that will help. My sis had 2 kids and is pretty much the same as pre-pregnancy size/body with no effort. Hopefully genetics will really on my side!!!!

    That detox drink looks pretty good :)
