Excited, nervous, tentative. These are just some of the feelings going into this. The saving grace is that I have been watching my wife do it for the past eleven days and she looks great, and feels great.  I CAN tell you that I am excited to show off my cooking skills and make some serious meals for the next 30 days. I vowed to make a new meal every day of the cleanse so that should be fun. I’m thinking slow roasted bison meatballs with quinoa on day one. I still have 2 days to sort that out…

I wouldn’t say I’m fat but I am certainly not in the shape I used to be. Recently the opportunity was presented to me to try a 30-day nutritional cleanse – a Ctrl-Alt-Del of my body so to speak. At first I was very skeptical. Is it healthy to do this? Will I do more damage than good? Most importantly, can I eat during this time??? Well, somebody very close to me began the same 30-day program eleven days ago. She looks great and seems to be having an easy time with it. So, reluctantly but with an open mind, I have decided to go full tilt and join the millions of folks who have done nutritional cleanses.

My cleanse will begin on July 11th, 2014. While I am certainly not a journalist, I have decided to share my cleanse with whoever would like to read about it. I promise to be nothing but truthful and honest and you, the reader, promise not to make any pre-judgements or wildly offensive comments. I will NOT disclose what cleanse I am doing on this blog. If you would like to find out, please email me at bweiss07@gmail.com and let me know where I can reach you by phone and we can discuss.

THE GROUND RULES:

• I will not share my actual weight. I will, however, share some important details like BMI, waist size, etc. as they are important to this journey. My goal is to lose between 25 and 30 pounds. I will provide all of the details on day 1 so that we can track together.
• I will provide a before and after picture at the end of the 30 days. For those of you that think everything is a sham, I would be happy to share my facebook profile with you at that time as well so you can see real pictures to see what the before is.
• I will make every effort to report everything I can within reason. If you think I am not giving you the whole story, stop reading and move on.

So, here we go…
