Well I fell… HARD. Not literally, but you get it. Around the end of the kids school year my knees started hurting – BAD! To the point I could not walk without crying. I am not a doctor person so a doctor visits, Ortho visits, an MRI, X-Rays and blood word were a fucking blast for me. LONG ASS Story short. My knees are shot, I offically have old people knees. Not ready for surgery but there are some things I can do to better myself.
However, between giving myself a break from working out, summer starting and going through some things with this mentally. I gained some weight. I already needed to loose weight to take some weight off my knees and instead of focusing on that… I screwed myself.
Dusting myself off and rising up. I am not able to walk like I use to, no more 20k and 30k days.. everyday, this has been super hard for me! Really has mentally fucked with me. The last month or so has been spent trying to “FIND MY GROOVE”. I am a mover and there really is no doctor’s plan for my knees… I basically needed to figure out what works. I think I have come up with a plan and I am done with my little pity party (it tasted great though). Rising up and fixing me!
JUICE CLEANSE
We are doing a ONE day juice cleanse. There are 6 juices for each of us and they are 16oz each. They are not all tasty to me! We are doing this from 8am until 4pm with NO FOOD!! We will have water through the day. I will be doing the anti inflammatory cleanse. Mark is doing the immunity cleanse.
The juices come in a 6 pack and it is numbered on the sides so you know which kjuices to drink and when to drink them. There are also some tip son the side.
JUICE ONE – GOLD
Cashews, filtered water, maple syrup, vanilla, himalayan pink sea salt, cinnamon, ture
This one was YUMMY!!!
JUICE TWO – RED
GROSS – nope I hate this one. Tastes like dirt – had to use a straw and drink FAST!!
Apple, carrot, beets and lemon.
JUICE THREE – Green for me and Orange for Mark
JELOUS!!! The orange is soooo good and the green is… ok. I have had the green before so I am use to it, but I don’t “prefer” it.
Cucumber, Celery, Spinachm Kale Lemon and ginger.
So far things are going great. I am not really that hungry, but I feel it coming on. Mark is starving and just said no way is he doing 3 days!!! Some people think you shit your brains out on a juice cleanse and maybe that’s true for them. That is not happening over here yet. However, I have peed a ZILLION times!!!!!
JUICE FOUR – GOLD
Juice 4 and Juice 1 is the same and we liked this one. Honey is NOT liking this because there has been no “treats” from our plates through the day.
Cashews, filtered water, maple syrup, vanilla, himalayan pink sea salt, cinnamon, ture
WARNING!!!!! So before juice 4 and after juice 3… um… ya… some AMAZING smelling FARTING has been happening in this house!!!
JUICE 5 – ORANGE
LOVE THIS JUICE!! Flavor is soo good. Carrot, orange, pineapple and turmeric.
Check back later for juice 6!!!
JUICE 5 – YELLOW
water, lemon, maple syrup and cayenne.
YES!!! I love this one…. but would have been great for something a little more hearty than… WATER!!!!!
I would like to say we made it… but as I am writing this it is 4:30 and I am STARVING!! Not sure Mark is oging to make it. I do feel great and feel like this was a great way to KICKSTART this next chapter.
JUICE CLEANSE FOLLOW UP
Alright, people do juice cleanses for lots of reasons. I personally did it for the weight loss and the detox from shit food. I was down 2.4 pounds in one day. Mark did the cleanse just to do it, but he probably was not down this morning because he caved and ate a HAM STEAK sandwich after 8pm last night!!!
I had eggs and habanero cheese this morning after 24hours of no food, just juice. Well, that went RIGHT through me!!!!
Kept a bit of the weight off ovver the weekend. Doing another juice cleanse today, Monday. This time I made the choice for the lowest calorie juice cleanse.
