Finally over!

I have been absent from this while I did the cleanse. 

It was hard after the first two days.  Almost every moment of the cleanse was recorded the old fashioned way...in a journal.  In the next few days, I'll put that in here, in case any one wants a reference or first hand account of what going through a juice cleanse is like. 

Day 2 Cravings and Breakouts!!?!

Yes...cravings and breakouts! Eww. That's what goes on during the second day of this juice cleanse.

The day started off well but as it went along my energy plummeted, cravings were sky high and I started to notice that my skin was starting to breakout. Great! :/ Not only that but I had a runny nose, sneezing and constant bathroom trips (TMI?).

But these are all good things during a cleanse! They are signs that your body really is going to work and cleaning house. The stomach is using it's neurons, cells, organs and other components to take out all the junk inside and expelling it in various ways.

Let's see what else this cleanse will bring!

One down, 4 more days to go!!

Day 1 of my 5 day juice cleanse is done and I feel great!

It got a little hard during the day, trying to maintain focus & composure while I had temptation all around me. Energy was up and down, which is normal.

I'm excited to see how the next 4 days go and what they bring!

If you have ever done a cleanse or something similar, share your story!

I Begin With a Challenge!

SEXY GREEN JUICE!!

This blender/juicer has a story...

I've been inspired to change my life, in every single way, but especially in regards to what I put in my mouth and give to my body.  For years I have believed that what I would eat wasn't bad for me, that there is no way that our government agencies would allow bad food to be put out there for people to consume.  Boy, was I wrong!

During the last year, I've noticed that something is wrong in my body.  I felt more stressed, tired and sick.  Coffee was no longer good, dairy made me feel terrible and I always got colds and chest pain.  I would go to my doctor to see what was wrong, I was told it was only acid reflux and not that bad.  Months later....heart murmur.  Ever since that moment in the Emergency Room I knew I had to change but I wasn't really knew or  told how.

For months I have been reading, researching and watching whatever would teach me how to seriously take care of this body of mine.  I've read many good articles, books and watched good documentaries.  Then I discovered what has changed me and my view on health and life in general, Crazy Sexy Diet by Kris Carr.  Nothing has touched me more than her book and inspirational story.

In her book, Kris Carr really lets people know that most of the ailments and diseases in modern society could be prevented or treated with the right nutrition AND caused by our terrible nutrition.  My eyes and mind have been opened to a whole new world and am very thankful.

NOW..after that long preface I am here to say that for the next week I, along with two co-workers, will be starting a green cleanse.  For one week we shall only drink fresh green juice, followed by two weeks of a strictly vegetable and juice diet.

HERE I will journal how it works, how we do it, how we feel, how it changes us and everything in between!

I CHALLENGE YOU!  I challenge anyone that reads this to do your own research about nutrition and read Crazy Sexy Diet.  Above all I challenge you to be INFORMED about what you are putting into your body, as it is the only instrument you TRULY own.

SHARE YOUR STORY! If you have done a cleanse or major change in your diet, how did it go? What inspired you and how do you feel?
