I love the Christmas season. The smell of pine trees, the presents, the carols and the summer. What I don't love so much are the endless rounds of parties and BBQ's, tables groaning with irresistible delicacies, limitless drinks and a general feeling of " Come on, it's Christmas time!'.
During the final weeks of school I almost went to one social function a day... and I was very naughty. I ate and drank till my heart's content. And inevitably, as always, I regret it afterwards for the way it makes me feel. Sure all of that junk tastes great at the time; but the bloat and sluggishness that follows lasts a lot longer than the enjoyment of comsuming.
That is why today I begin a juicy journey. After the last month of poor eating habits I have decided that a raw juice detox would do my body good. I have just finished my breakfast which consisted of:
8 Stems of broccoli
4 Stems of celery
1 Pear
I am feeling pretty good, but then again it is only 9:30am. I am hoping to make it to the gym this afternoon ( even though you are not supposed to excercise while on the detox) and hope that doesn't upset things.
I'll keep you posted x
Did you see the documentary about the guy who only drank juice for 6 weeks? lost a ridiculous amount of weight. Personally I think i would be craving a steak or something after all that. Would want to use my teeth for something!
ReplyDeleteThe documentary is called "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead"
