Going Glowing Lean

My way through Kimberly Snyder's books, her philosophy and her Glowing Lean System. Former addict to red meat and former serious colaholic, I'm now recovering from a cancer so I realize how important the foods I choose to eat are and how crucial an improved digestion is. This is the beginning of - I hope - a lifetime journey. France. I actually plan to blog on another platform but keep this tumblr account for other purposes -all related to health, running and well-eating.

When you start Kimberly's programm, the first thing you're being introduced to is her infamous Glowing Green Smoothie (GGS). I feel bad if I don't have it in the morning! I surprised everyone around me when I put it into my routine. In France, green smoothies aren't very popular yet. People are very suspicious because a blend of greens and fruits seems quite a strange mix to them and the colour of the smoothie scare them a bit! Lol. But it's actually really, really good and I'm craving for this! When you start the day knowing that you're already giving your body something good, you start it positively, ready to face what is to come. The GGS help you do that. Crazy, huh?

Everything starts now. (again)

I first heard about Kimberly Snyder on a Dita Von Teese’s tweet a few years ago and started following her as well because I was very much intrigued by Kim’s  infamous Glowing Green Smoothie (GGS). I read her blog posts and little by little, my curiosity grew about her Beauty Detox Solution, even if I was very skeptical to begin with. Weren’t several celebrity’s diets completely unhealthy, made of deprivation and impossible to follow for us, common people? I don’t have the money to hire a sport coach or someone to cook for me! And I loooooove food. I used to think that eating right wasn’t  good or tasty so there was no way I’d be giving up on the pleasure to eat. No, no. Though I didn’t even give this “diet” a try, I decided that it wasn’t for me.

  Months passed, I got married, bought a house with my husband and we had our first baby. Everything would have been perfect if terrible pains in my intestines didn’t lead me to the hospital where I was eventually diagnosed a cancer. During my chemo, I lost a lot of hair and gained 15kg (30Ibs) because of the medication. Now that I’m recovering, I know I need to change the way I eat and live. Since February, 2013, I started running (plan to include weight training and yoga in a near future) and since the Big C set into my belly, eating clean became a goal. It’s sad I had to go through a cancer to realize it but eating the right foods is important and improving my digestion is crucial. I changed the way I ate but felt something wasn't right so in June, I bought both Kimberly’s books and was overwhelmed by all the informations in them. So many things actually made sense and rang a bell into my head. But such radical changes can’t  occur successfully in such a short span of time and I failed. Luckily for me, and thanks to a fellow Tumblrer – Glowvirna – who helped me to make up my mind, I decided to subscribe to Kimberly’s Glowing Lean System to gradually and efficiently working my way through her Detox Solution.

  Now everything starts for me (again). I want positivity in my life, a healthier and prettier me (sounds lame, but a cancer treatment actually takes a lot out of you, including part of your feminity  and/or some of your self-esteem) and I want to make sure the Big C remains as far away as possible. I want my life back and I want to live it for long with my family. If you want to join me in this journey, you’re welcome! :-)
