Purge Your Body of Toxins

Before I met my husband, I ate on a strict schedule and I worked out at minimum an hour per day for six days a week.

When I moved to California from Las Vegas to be with my boyfriend at the time (who is now my lovely husband), I left everything I knew behind.  I lived in Vegas for 17 years of my life, and thus it's where I grew up and called home.  Family, my best friend, college I attended, familiar faces and streets, my favorite places. . .it was all gone when I went to California.  I recall feeling stressed, and my health routine suffered.  After losing 50 pounds, I had actually fallen out of my fitness routine.

Here I am a few years down the road, proud to have a job that keeps me very active and allows me to do what I love, going back to college, and married to the only person I could ever imagine myself growing old with.  I'm ready to get my body back to its healthiest state.

I sincerely love going to college.  Call me crazy, call me what you may.  There's such a variety of courses that you can participate in.  I signed up for a class called "Physical Fitness" this semester, which began on Tuesday this week.  Physical fitness classes concentrate on building your strength, endurance, and flexibility.  Attending a class with about 40 other people and pumping iron is an amazing feeling.  You've got so much motivation from your classmates!  Being in this class got me thinking: it's been a while since my body has felt this healthy, how else can I help my body to get back to the state it was in?

I was familiar with the idea of fasting, but never wanted to take part in it until I learned that it was a form of getting rid of built up toxins in your body.  I have been thinking about doing a fast that was healthy, made sense, and lasted long enough to kickstart my kidneys into a super filtration system.  I have decided to do a three day juicing fast.  Although I'm currently in the research state, I would love to share my daily thoughts and feelings with you while I am on my fast.



Has anyone done a juice fast themselves, or knows of someone who has?  Share your experiences, I'd love to hear!
