Juice Fast

So it's been a while since I've been here but I'm the only one so I'm the only one waiting. I've gotten a haircut - love it. I've reached plateau in the F4J but it's because i went back to my old tricks. So Brady and I have discussed this juice fast she has done before in an effort to save her body from giving up. To detox when you feel you've been drinking too much, putting artificial crap in your body and eating more than you should. This is also typically a way people look to lose weight. if i do-great, but that is not my goal. my goal is to clean up my body. everyone i know who has done some kind of cleanse feels so much better and knowing what could possibly be in your body makes you want to keep it clean and only put in the goods. It's also a 'get back on track' idea for me. sometimes and especially lately i just lose sight of things and run around and lose myself. i need to be more structured. more grounded.

so LK and i are embarking on a 3 day juice fast/cleanse. she may move her days and do it with J at home. that's the key is doing it with someone or telling someone you know will support you that you are doing it so that if you feel a moment of weakness you can call them and they can help you get out of the rut. something like "help! i want a huge cheeseburger & wings & beer" to which your good supportive friend says, "yo-relax, drink some more juice". haha which makes me think of Steel Magnolias where Shelby is having a diabetic episode her mother says "Shelby, drink your juice, just drink your juice, Shelby". Just think. it's not as bad as Shelby. Believe me I understand the life of a diabetic. it's not fun.

so i will be doing a clean diet tomorrow & Saturday (bc i have a family party on Saturday) - mostly raw fruits & veggies/fresh foods...to get ready. then sunday/monday (and if all goes well) tuesday. I'll track as much as i can here - and maybe LK can submit her thoughts since she will be appox 1 day ahead of me. let's hope neither of us has any issues. :)

ps MK is ahead as she has been in F4J. i have to be about 3-4lbs less than i am right now to equal her...i feel the challenge coming back. its back to healthy & workin out for me. focus on life. back on track.

a big thanks to LK & MK for being incredibly supportive and doing these crazy things together so that we keep on track and don't lose our minds.
