I've been working with my lovely ND to rejig my diet and improve my workout recovery and natural detoxification process. My kidneys, liver, and digestive tract have had quite the kick. Like any detox, some days are better than others. I much prefer the good days, but without those off-days we wouldn't know the importance of balance now would we? ;)
I want to feel strong, vibrant, energetic, and weightless each and every day, but I'm not quite there yet. And that's okay. I'm enjoying the process and learning to love me, right now, just the way I am. But I certainly didn't wake up in that headspace. It took me until 3pm to shake off my veil of bleh and admire my determination and resilient detection to optimum health. Despite a few hiccups and hurdles along the way, I always stand for my health. Reality check: I'm not superwoman. Reminder: I'm strong, healthy, and on a path to greatness.
Whew, that's better.
Sometimes we need just need to shake it off, do a little dance, and sip some green juice to reignite our inner green goddess. PS I bought a juicer (on sale and totally worth it). PPS Apparently shopping also improves a bleh detox day.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup spinach, packed
- 1/3 cup kale, packed
- 1/2 cucumber
- 2 stalks celery
- 1/3 lemon
Method: Juice ingredients and enjoy.
Light, crisp, and loaded with nutrients, just as a goddess juice should be.
I now acknowledge my body with more affection and respect.
I am now able to achieve all that is necessary in a calm and peaceful manner.
I am divinely guided to my inner-self and I discover my own rhythm.
I am now celebrating my unique strength and beauty.
I am becoming more loving and accepting of myself.
What juicer did you buy?!
ReplyDeleteHi Jess,
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking about buying a juicer for a long time - I love my blended green smoothies, and I sometimes think that juice means you are missing out on the fibre content. But the amount of nutrients you are able to get in one hit must be mush more with juice. I'm glad to see you are enjoying your juicer, I will think about getting one a bit more I guess!!
Christie, I'm really happy with my new juicer! I typically make a big batch of juice to last me 2-3 days..less cleaning that way ;)
ReplyDeleteVeggie juices are very cleansing, here is an interesting read which you might enjoy http://crazysexylife.com/2011/the-benefits-of-juicing/
As for the leftover juice pulp..you could experiment by making veggie crackers? This might spark some inspiration http://www.choosingraw.com/pretty-in-pink-crackers-raw-and-vegan/
Happy juicing!
