Soon after having three kids in 4 years, I didn’t recognize myself.
It all started a few years back while I was out to dinner with a girlfriend and saw two frumpy, old women staring at us from an adjacent table. When I asked my friend if she noticed the nosey hags, her response was “Dear God, Sinead, that’s a f&%king mirror!” My heart dropped.
I felt overwhelmed, fat, fatigued and frazzled.
I had lost ME in being MOM.
But with that jolt of reality, my head cleared through the fog and I realised - I had to pull up my big girl spanx and turn this ship around.
Having had a previous fascination with yoga, wellness and meditation, I put my head down and started transforming myself from victim to vixen. My first steps into changing my health was a 6 Week Sugar Cleanse much like this one.
Once I started understanding the food I was eating, knowing where the hidden sugars were allowed me to make clear and honest choices for not just myself but also my family. The knowledge gave me power.
As my clothes got loser I cleared my skin, removed brain fog, increased my energy and ultimately got to the root cause of my health issues and what was truly holding me back. My life did a 180!
