lean mean clean green machine

i'm not great at new year's resolutions. 

hell, i have a hard time with regular change, 

let alone following through on grand plans. 

but alas, i try.

after everyone was sick in my house over the holidays 

(and is again, currently), 

and of course after too much indulgence and not enough exercise during the month of septobernovcember, 

i am desperately seeking a leaner, cleaner physique. 

inside and out.

thus, the cleanse.

everyone and their sister in los angeles is on one.

juicing, cleansing, fasting... living on air and sunshine.

and water.

tons of water.

i've been checking out different types of cleanses for months now, and i think i am finally settled on this one.

i've been eating "clean" for about 2 weeks, with slip ups here and there due to two little ones' birthdays, and the delicious cake & cupcake baking/"tasting" that was involved...

but its time to get serious. 

my amazing sister has been doing this series, 30 in 30, 

where she set a goal to do 30 workouts in 30 days this month, 

at 30 minutes a day, minimum. while she was here over the holidays i got the grand idea to do it with her; 

"its only 30 minutes a day, how hard can it be?"... 

um. 

turns out, its harder than you'd think.

especially when your family is sick, you turn another year older, your babies turn another year older, & you have house guests. 

and your dog dies. 

methinks its time to pull my head out of my arse and 

get

a 

friggin

move on

already.

so. 


not only am i starting my own personal 30 in 30, i'm also doing the cleanse. 
starting with these green power smoothies....

*dislcaimer: i am fresh from a workout and makeupless... my kids are running around playing in the background... 
i am not a professional. obvs.

while this wasn't a complete success, i'm working on the perfect 

green smoothie recipe. 

until i find it, i think tomorrow calls for berry smoothies for breakfast, butternut squash soup for lunch, & then the kale slaw with red cabbage salad for dinner. 

yum yum. 

xo

ps. seriously. have you tried any cleanses, juice fasts, etc? 

i would love to hear about your experience!
