October 7th

I've had the stomach flu for the past few days so instead of going to the gym I've been trying to take a long walk instead. Today, even though I'm not feeling completely up to par, I'm going to do upper body using the free weights and bench in my basement, and finish up with Yoga.

Breakfast today was egg whites, tea, a peach and Almond Nut Thins which are awesome. My sister has the juicer so we haven't been able to start juicing yet but we plan to this weekend.

Monday morning I've got a meeting with a personal trainer to set up my health plan at the gym, but for now I'm following this websites exercise plan, and eating clean. Still no wheat, soy, or gluten. http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/jamie-eason-livefit-trainer-phase-1-day-1.html?fb_ref=.TozKPCGQAow.like&fb_source=home_multiline

Enjoy your weekend!

Day Four

So I'm still sick, even more so now. I'm freezing, have a sore throat, a headache, and feel like I'm up in the clouds with congestion. Totally sucks. So instead of going to the gym I'm going to take the dogs for a long walk and go to the dog park tonight. I'll get my cardio in trying to keep up with them without being too tough on my body. I'm super sleepy today but hopefully I'l be feeling better enough tomorrow to go to the gym again.

On a happier note, my abs hurt from yesterday. That's a good sign right?

Bah Humbug

Hi Everyone,

It's only the 3rd of October and I've already run into my first obstacle. I have a sore throat and feel like complete poop, but I joined the gym yesterday and need to get my money's worth. Looks like I'm going to have to suck it up and get it done. Since I can't breathe I'll probably skip cardio and just do circuit training this afternoon. I'll probably get out of here around 3 and go so that I can get it out of the way, come home and pass out in bed immediately. My head feels like a balloon waiting to pop.

Anyways, Thursday-Sunday I'm juicing since the personal training said for my first time I need to do less days so I don't feel like poop for an entire week. Totally fine with me! So 4 days of Juicing then 3 days of only fruits and vegetables. That doesn't sound so bad!

The Explanation

I should probably start by telling you all what I'm doing and why in the world I decided to do it in the first place, and why you should read about it.

It all started when my sister and I watched a documentary on netflix called "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead". An Australian man worked out religously and juiced only organic fruits and vegetables (no solid foods) for 60 days and not only lost a remarkable amount of weight but also cured himself from multiple ailments he had had 60days prior to juicing.

There is his website if you are interested in his story.

Anyways, I'm lazy. I like to sleep, don't eat all meals I'm suposed to, and never go to the gym. In fact I kick and scream if I have to. I'm one of those people who will look down one day and say "hmm my belly looks different" go to the gym for a month look down again and say " Yup, that's better" and then continue on with my life. I hate the gym with a passion and have to force myself to go everytime. My sister and boyfriend are gym freaks and will spend like 2 hours at a time at the gym together giggling and frocklicking from treadmill to weights like it's "fun" or something. Nightmare...

So here is the deal. For the month of October I'm going to do a total body cleanse. Here are my rules/ schedule.

Week One: I'm going to juice all meals for a week. No solid foods. Im going to make sure I get in te appropriate amount of calories but I'm not going to workout this week, especially since while I detox from all the crap in my body I will probably feel like complete shit for the first couple days.
Week Two-Four: I will be getting up early to run with my dogs at the dog park in the morning, eat healthily, juice lunch and go to the gym during lunch hour, then walk again with the dogs at the dog park in the evening.

I know this is not going to be easy, but if all goes well I should be looking and feeling better and should be able to have my first drink on Halloween.

Here are my baisc rules for this cleanse.
1. No Alcohol
2. No solid foods first week
3. After week one, no fast food, and no fried food
4. No Corn, No Soy, No Wheat for entire month
5. No Chipotle (womp womp womp)
6. No Dairy (I'm lactose intolerant anyways so who cares)

Once I have my menu made out I'll try and post so you all can see it and comment on how terrible it is.

Here is why you should read my blog.

KEEP ME ACCOUNTABLE!!!

If you all are on my butt about getting up and going running with the dogs it makes it easier for me to feel supported and get up and do it. Otherwise I will come up with every excuse in the book.

I would also appreciate if you all would remind me to post when you see me on facebook. Maybe then I will remember to blog more often.

Diet starts September 30th!
