Well behaved women rarely make history!

I'm Bing!80s baby. A whole lot of feisty. I'm a little fireball! I'd rather you hate me for who I am than love me for something I'm not. Don't call me short I'm fun size =) My life is my message. Where there's love, there's life.

This is one of my favorites. I only drink these kind of juices in the morning. It's best to limit the amount of fruit juices you intake. This is 4 apples, 25 seedless grapes and a pomegranate. This juice is high in fiber and helps with weight loss. #healthyeating #healthyliving #juicing

As promised I will post every juice recipe I try out of the book. This one is 3 large ripe pears, 1 mango and a tbsp of aloe vera. I also added a tbsp of spirulina and maca. This juice is good for the digestive system. Mango contains an enzyme that helps to combat acidity and poor digestion. Pears stimulate sluggish digestive systems. Aloe Vera is one of those all around amazing foods that I have every day! It helps with constipation, diarrhea and overall digestion. It contains a gang of minerals, amino acids and vitamins. You just can't go wrong with aloe! @mrsl_carroll #juicing #healthyeating #healthyliving

20 day juice cleanse: Days 1-3

  Now, keep in mind that I have never done more than a three day cleanse before. Also, I've always cheated on these cleanse.Now I know you'll think I'm crazy when I say this, but my idea of cheating is eating half an avocado, a handful of grapes or a pomegranate for dinner. I know you're all probably thinking, that's not cheating. I can sometimes be really hard on myself. If i say I am going to do a juice cleanse and I consume anything within that time that isn't fresh pressed juice or a raw smoothie from my vitamix, I feel like I cheated myself out of the chance of being completely successful and proving that I have the ability to fight the temptation.  With that being said, I made sure this time that I would not allow myself any raw fruits or veggies throughout the twenty days. I am sticking to my juice and proving to myself that I can do this without making excuses for myself. 

  Day 1

My day one actually started at 4pm that day. Yes, I went out drinking the night before. Yes that was the dumbest decision I've ever made. So I told myself, I would allow myself one last meal after waking up with a major hangover and I would go 480 hours (24 hours times 20 days) from 4pm August 10th. I must say I felt good all day. I had no issues with hunger pangs or cravings...until it was bedtime. Here I am sitting in bed thinking hmmmm a handful of grapes and that pomegranate won't hurt anyone. Then I remembered, Michelle you can do this, had a glass of water and took my ass to bed. 

  Day 2

I woke up on day 2 feeling super refreshed. I felt spiritually cleansed. I didn't feel the stress of work weighing me down like I have so many times before. There was a quick moment of nausea that went away after I drank some green tea. Unfortunately, I've been so busy that I haven't had time to juice like I did the first day. Luckily Whole Foods makes these amazing fresh pressed juices in house that I took pics of. Day 2 and 3 consisted of these juices. They're convenient but it's so much cheaper to make your own. I told myself that I will carve time out no matter what from now on to make my own juice. I spent the entire day feeling super zenned out. No matter what anyone said or did, I didn't care because I felt like I was on a high. 

  Day 3 

Day 3 was by far the hardest cleanse day I have EVER experienced in my life. It was like night and day from the day before. First, I woke up with a charlie horse. YAY!!!  Then I spent most of the morning feeling nauseous, shaky and like I was moving slower than everyone else. I know people say that after day 3 it gets better. But this made me want to give up immediately. Everything looked and smelled delicious. I was even saying things I usually don't eat smelled good (beef...yuck!). I decided to take it easy on my workout today but still decided to head over to my swim class. I kept having to take a break because I felt dizzy after swimming a lap. I know these are all things that will pass, but damn I must have a new sense of motivation because in the past I would've quit at the first  sign of discomfort. I come home to my nieces and sister eating rice and some chicken that smelled like heaven. Go figure the mostly vegan girl who usually turns up her nose to most of what her family eats is wishing she could have just one small bite of her nieces drumstick. I am so glad day 3 is coming to an end because only where I can go from here is up!

  Oh and yes I cheated and weighed myself. Mind you a few days before the cleanse, I went to Philly for my best friends birthday. I got back from Philly Thursday and weighed myself. I gained 7lbs...yea sometimes eating really clean can suck when you wanna have a couple drinks and a damn sandwich. I am officially 10lbs down from Friday!
