- The Whole 30: So I'm on a new 30-day nutrition plan called Whole 30. I have to credit Erika from Style Activist with putting me onto this plan. I had been searching far & wide for a good detox/body reset to finish off my summer and bring me healthily into the fall/winter season. And so far, it is working amazingly well! I've dropped a dress size in just two weeks and I have more energy than I ever thought possible. I'm crafting a blog post about it this week, so stay tuned for further details. In the mean time, click over to Grit & Glamour's "Get Started on Getting Healthy" post. She has a TON of great advice and links to the Whole 30 plan.
- Laugh & Love: I spent this weekend running the streets with one of my partners-in-crime Sandrine Charles (see her luxuriousness in the pic on top left). I had been feeling kind of down last week so instead of jam-packing my weekend with to-do's, I kept my schedule wide open and just...lived. Spend one day a month with absolutely nothing on your to-do list. And spend time with people who make you laugh - it's good for your health.
- That Juice: I hate greens. Yeah, I said it. The new plan I'm on REQUIRES the ingestion of leafy greens and, at first, I thought I might die slowly. You want me to eat greens? Hell nawl. I hate them. But I found a trick! Juicing. I can ingest an entire bag of Kale or Spinach if it is juiced with a hint of apple, carrot and ginger. Voila! Farm to cup.

This weekend I was all over that "nothing on your to do list" LOL. I went with the flow and enjoyed myself. My twilight walk yesterday was invigorating and the type of recharging I needed. I can't wait to hear more about your Whole 30 process. I am on the hunt for a good juicer and am inspired to green up my diet several notches! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLooking good, babe! Thanks for the link over to G&G. Can't wait to see your post! I've dropped a dress size as well...might even be two by the time I hit the full Whole30. Keep on truckin'!
ReplyDeletei have a juicer, and I love it. It's so much fun to discover the concoctions one can make!

Excited for the Whole30 post to start pouring in. I am going to start juicing soon. I keep hearing the great things about it.
ReplyDeleteBoth you and Vahni of Grit and Glamour have inspired me to try the Whole30 too! I'll start on the first of September. I can't wait to hear more about your experience!
ReplyDeleteExcellent and useful article! Thanks for taking the time to post this.
ReplyDeleteI looked at your detox choice: Whole30, and I love that they wrote an article on "174,203 WAYS TO MEASURE HEALTH (BESIDES THE SCALE)". Looks like you picked a good one promoting health and exercise.
