Oh, guess what? I'm alive. And back.
As a way to slip back into this blog, today I'm going to start documenting my week doing the
Blue Print Cleanse. I'm starting with the 6-juice-a-day Renovation Cleanse on Saturday. Little did I know, it's really important to prep your body before committing to the juice.
Here's why I'm doing it:
My BFFL/workout partner
Elise did BPC a few months ago and loved it. She said it totally reset her cravings and gave her a good jump start on re-focusing her eating. This is why I want to do it.
I'm not looking to starve myself or even lose weight. If I was looking to lose weight - this would be the worst way to do it. I'm doing the juice cleanse to start my body fresh and set me on a path to eating better and taking better care of my body.
I've read almost 25 reviews of this cleanse and everyone says the same thing: it's tough, but it makes you feel amazing. I'm looking for more energy, a healthy glow and a reset button for my body.
So here goes nothing. Below the jump is my hilarious conversation with Elise about how to prep for this. I'll post on my prep for today later tonight.
This convo starts when Elise sent me the following article about BPC:
Elise
she writes like you I think.
Annie
maybe i'll live blog this experience
Elise
a 3-day live blog? that would be different. but you could revive your blog for this!
Annie
well maybe not completely live
but this shall be documented
this really is a lot of sugar
is this the worst idea in history?
Elise
no she didn't drink the green juices
Annie
that's true. that's stupid.
one cannot make it on spicy lemonade alone!
Elise
the green ones balance things out, but it is a lot of sugar. you get giddy. but it's good sugars, all natural sugars.
and you get lots of fiber and some protein to balance it out
what level are you doing?
Annie
i am doing the renovation
should i work out on this? will that cause me to die?
i will not work out on this.
Elise
don't do anything strenuous. I wouldn't run. I did yoga though.
Annie
well i think you and i both know i won't be going back to yoga.
i'm not a barbie, i can't bend. it's nearly embarassing.
almost as embarrassing as not being able to spell embarrassing
Elise
maybe get sarah to send you a good youtube video and do some easy things in your room

Elise

Elise
I ate half a cucumber on mine, I could not resist. I think it was day 2 and I was miserable.
Annie
yeah i have a feeling im gonna die
i'm gonna go super vegan with one small exception this week
it's my bosses last day tomorrow and i made a blueberry graham cracker cake
Elise
good for you! you get it girl. are you doing this for any special occasion or just before the holidays in general?
Annie
just trying to jump start
i need to get back into this
Elise
I know, it's just such a hard time, people keep having parties and food-centered get together.
Annie
and i have an excuse to be a recluse this weekend
so it'll be good
hopefully I don't die.
