Coming off of a particularly unexpected and awful breakup is
not an easy thing to do, but I am determined to be better and stronger than
ever before, while still being true to who I am and open to other people.
I am incredibly grateful for my friends, family and all of
the awesome people in my life. When I fall, it’s not very far because of their
support. I recognize how fortunate I am.
“Out with the Old” is a fitting title for this first day of
the 24 Day Challenge. Days 1-10 have a gentle cleanse element to them. There is
a soluble fiber and probiotic incorporated into the Challenge. The purpose is
to help the body be better able to absorb nutrients and to rid the body of
toxins. The idea is that the body will be pushing toxins and waste into the bloodstream
and intestines that needs to be flushed out. This Cleanse is gentle and
uneventful, but VERY effective. So here’s to moving forward and getting rid of
old emotions and old toxins that no longer serve me!
Today, Arielle ran a little lemonade stand outside of my
parents’ house to raise money for her school’s new playground. As her best
employee, I had the task of bagging up chocolate chip cookies. This was a
little tricky because on this first day of the Challenge I am only eating
fruits, vegetables and my meal replacement shake. I’m pretty sure I only drooled
on a couple of the cookies; it’s an added bonus with purchase ;)
If you do the fruits and vegetables only option for Day 1,
you aren't really supposed to incorporate exercise, which for me is just fine…
I haven’t really been exercising lately anyhow. Tomorrow I've got a hot yoga
class in my calendar, so fingers crossed I make it.
Today:
* I ate every 2-3 hours
and drank as much water with lemon as I could manage.
