So... It's Crazy

Well the good news is that I can make a mean green drink. It's actually really good. This morning I used cucumber, ginger, romaine, apple, carrot, celery. Then I juiced wheatgrass and had a shot… Not terrible. Smells like a fresh cut lawn in my kitchen. All I can say right now, thank God for almond butter. It will definitely be my go to for some creamy goodness. 


The mental game is a bit harder. So hard to balance sometimes... who am I kidding... all the time. Little sleep, a knot in my neck and working since 6:30 this morning to try and squeeze out as much as possible before the little one awoke. Tried to meditate this morning and somewhere between the dog trying to sit in my lap and lick my face, I felt the tiniest twig of zen. My mantra today "You are healthy and whole". I've come to a conclusion.... I need some help. Who that is and what it looks like... I don't know. But the first step is admitting it, right?

Crazy or Sexy?

Here we go... out with the old and in with the new. I chose to start this cleanse on Ash Wednesday and follow it through lent. The premise of the cleanse is as follows.... no dairy, no alcohol (will try) and primarily vegetarian diet. I will focus on balancing the pH in my body by relying on alkaline foods and juicing a lot of greens. I will also be doing yoga and meditation every day.

One might ask... why? Believe me, I'm with you, but as a woman you just got her world rocked by a beautiful baby boy and now trying to balance career, motherhood and everything else that comes with it... it seems absolutely necessary. Why not grab life by the horns and give it a good wrestle and fingers-crossed actually fit back in those pre-pregnancy jeans that now just decorate my closet. Thankfully, Kris Carr, author of Crazy Sexy Diet, has given me a base to work from. The promise is that it will ignite your spark... I say "where's the match?".

I have wild and beautiful dreams in me and have gotten pushed down by everyday life and negative self talk. No longer will I sit by and let them pass. I was made for a divine purpose and it is my duty as a mother to show my little one, he too, can accomplish great things. So for now, the great thing will be sticking to my cleanse and exorcising the demons. Of course, I am going to need plenty of love and support along the way. So if anyone out there needs a little recharging too.... step on up to the plate and let's go!
