Spring Cleanse

So for 4 weeks I am going to try really hard to stick to the clean eating cleanse.  The first week looks like lots of yummy food so I think I will be able to do this.  I really need a jump start on things and I am hoping that this will be the help that I need.  The one thing that sucks though is that I have a chest cold so the work outs won't be happening for a bit.  I have actually taken my days off and probably will take my nights off too (not just because of the cold but I am wearing a heart rate monitor device too that I really think will distract me at work).  The group I am doing this with isn't officially starting until the 18th but I am pretty sure most of us are trying some of the recipes in advance and doing a lot of prep (this cleanse does require a lot of meal prep which is something that I thrive on...when I do it).  I will be making more foods today and again tomorrow and hopefully they will last me for a while.  When week 2 comes up I will have to check and see what foods I still have left (hopefully some of the things freeze ok).

My official WI day will be monday so I will have 3 days to try and get rid of the weight I probably put on in Nashville.  I had a great time down there but as always I was wishing I had the extra weight off.  I really need to be done saying those words.  I need to just do it and be healthy like I want to be so bad.  I am the only one getting in the way.  I have a few things coming up this summer and don't want to stress about what I am going to wear.  The big thing that I have is a trip in November with a big group of people to somewhere warm.  I want to be able to wear whatever I want and look great in what I am wearing.

In the exercise department I will really work on the toning and strength building by going to as many of Jill's classes that I can but next year I will be doing the around the bay 10K relay and I want to be well trained for that.  I feel like I will be starting right back at the beginning where running is concerned so I need to get on that ASAP.  spring/summer is the best time to start.  Time is flying by so I need to stop making excuses and just do it.

I will try and post daily updates on how the cleanse is going.
