Day 5

Day 5.  No one can say it better then Ryo with her Fountain of Youth in hand.  I teach a class for 2-4 year olds on Friday mornings.  This was my first class teaching while on the cleanse.  I thought I would be starving after or worse feel my energy drop during.  Nope!  I felt great and when the kids had a snack after, I enjoyed my juice and they enjoyed their snacks, which included a smoothie for Ryo.

Day 3

So far so good?  I'm definitely surprised that I am not hungry on the cleanse.  I know logically speaking, I shouldn't be hungry.  I am taking in 1500 calories a day.  I found yesterday and today that I didn't finish all 6 juices leaving me with half a Gravity this morning.  I drank it on the way to the gym, and I may do that again tomorrow morning.

Today was the first day I was home for a majority of the day.  I finished up with clients at noon and was home from that point on.  I wasn't hungry, but I found myself wanting to eat or nibble to pass time.  I know I do this on a regular basis.  I eat or snack when I'm not even hungry.  It's 18 degrees out so it's too cold for my dog Shorty and I to cruise around Soho so instead, I took more pictures of him!  Here he is enjoying what's left of my Fountain of Youth.

Day 2

They tried……and they failed……This was at work today.  Normally I would have a piece.  Maybe a big piece…..but today was easy to say no.  Not because the cleanse has stopped my cravings for sweets yet, but because I made this commitment.  I am happy I stuck to it.

Training:

Turkish Get Up 5R/5L 14kg
Zercher squats 2x5.  65lb (still light today, will add weight for Thurs)
Bent over rows 2x5 reps double bells 14kg
Ab wheel 2x10

8  Rounds (4min rounds) sparing with Michael.  He thought for sure I'd be gassed from starting the juice cleanse.  Nope, still kicking ass.

Day 1

This is it!!!!!  Day 1 of my 30 day juice cleanse is complete!  I think because of all my excitement, today was an easy day.  I know it will get harder before it gets better! That's why I am doing this.  I let myself get caught up in unhealthy food and alcohol during the holiday season and have just been feeling sluggish and gross. This is just what I need to jumpstart myself back into a healthy eating pattern.

I'll continue to train while on the cleanse.  I may drop my weights a little.  They were feeling heavy this morning, and I hadn't started the cleanse yet!  I never eat before I lift.  I'm happy to drop them down a bit.

Morning training:

100 swings to warm up 18kg
Deadlift day:  2 sets 5 singles 180lb
Chest Press with double bells 2 sets 5 reps 14kg
Hanging leg raises 2x10 Windshield wipers 2x10
Front lever practice 2x5
3 mile run


Evening training:

2.5 mile run
