Still pushin on

You guys have kept me motivated, when I talk to you or read the blog and see how hard everybody is working or hear that you have or are going to workout, it gets me going. The feeling that I have during and after I exercise is so good, I just wish I could remember that before I work out when I'm felling really unmotivated. Anyway, I had a great workout today, I did a hardcore Max Interval Training Insanity video after my poledancing class, in which I learned a new spin by the way, and I feel goodphysically and mentally. I would havehoped to have lost some wight by this point, but it is only because of my poor food choices and eating habits at times. Anyway, I am going to do a five day cleanse that I did before that just helps to clear the junk out of your system and give you a little pick me up by getting your body back to a a more alkaline state on the pH scale. It is a really easy cleanse, no pills or supplements or anything, I got it out of a book called the natural makeover diet that focuses on optimal cellular health achieved by keeping the body in an alkaline state, and the principles of the theory are very logical. The five day cleanse just requires you to cut out grains, dairy, red meat, sugar/alcohol and of course processed foods for those days and encourages proteins mostly in the form of vegetable or soy protein, although whey protein is fine, fresh fruit and green leafy vegetables, nuts-especially almonds, lots of water and green tea, as well as hot water with lemon for it's purifying properties. I did it before and my skin cleared up, my energy levels increased and I felt great from the inside out, and amazingly, my sugar cravings went away almost completely. If anybody would like more info on the cleanse, let me know, in the meantime,I;ll let you know how it goes. Anyway, keep it up ladies, I am very proud of you all for pushing hard and beyond your comfort zones!!!
