Here I sit in front of my computer on a Sunday night. I’ve been trying to catch up on reading blogs and just realized that I haven’t eaten dinner. Actually I haven’t eaten since 9:30 am!! I am starving and need to eat ASAP!! It is now 11:24pm 
I worked all day and we were pretty busy. After work I was supposed to play softball but due to injuries I sat today’s game out and hopefully will be recovered by next Sunday. Our team manager wasn’t too happy….but sorry, my health comes first!!
Besides being a terrible blogger as of late, I have been out of sorts for quite a while. A co-worker suggested I do a cleanse to rid my body of the nasty toxins lurking in my body. I am supposed to feel so much better afterward. We’ll see about that. But since I don’t like how I’ve been feeling, I’m willing to try it out to see what happens.
My co-worker gave me 2 options for a cleanse:
1) 10 days of drinking nothing but water with fresh lemon juice, cayenne pepper and 100% pure maple syrup. Actually, what she said was “as many days as you can do it up to 10 days”
OR
2) A boxed cleanse using pills that you can purchase at a nutrition shop or certain specialty stores.
I opted for option 2. I know me, there is 100% NO WAY I can survive even 1 day on that water-only cleanse. So, after work I checked out the vast array of cleanses (I had NO idea there were so many choices!!) at my local specialty grocery store in my area. I decided on one called First Cleanse by ReNew Life. It is a 2 week cleanse using all organic ingredients and the best part is that I can eat REAL food!!! Not just vegies and fruits…but also organic/free range chicken or turkey, fish, whole grains, eggs.
I’m excited to finally try a cleanse. I’ve played with the idea for a few years but have always been afraid to do it. I’m tired of living with these ridiculous fears so I’m going to go for it. Also, I will blog about my cleansing experience. I won’t get too graphic….we all know what it’s supposed to do so there’s no need for me to go into detail.
Oh, I ran for the first time in a very very long time this past week. I ended up running for 3 miles. It felt great, although my foot hurt during the run and I had to walk a little bit but overall it was a good run. I didn’t bother to time it. I just wanted to see what I could do.
I finally got new orthiotic inserts for my work shoes to help alleviate the arch pain and that should clear up the foot issues I’ve been having. Then I will start running regularly again. I have truly missed it and would like to start training for another 5k.
Well, that’s all for now……I will blog again tomorrow for Day 1 of my journey into cleansing!!
