I Want To Do Better...

After mine and Jimbo's recent post to Facebook about doing a cleanse and eating better, we have had several people ask what cleanse we are doing and why so I thought I would share. Honestly, I just can't do it anymore... I really do want to do better. We are so busy that running through a drive-thru and grabbing whatever fast food, makes our life so much easier. We are so sick of fast food- even our six year old is craving healthier meals. I'm not saying that we eat fast food every day but we do eat it way too often. I hate the way it makes me feel and I hate the weight I have put on in the past year. Not to mention I want to set a better example for my child. 

It seems like everywhere I look there is cancer. I hate cancer. I'm scared to death of it. I'm not saying that by eating healthier that we will never get it but I want to do everything in my power to ward it off. I don't have control over what I may or may not get but I do have control over what goes into my body and I want to fuel it with nutrients and power foods. We may not eat completely "clean" all the time but I just simply want to do better than I am doing right now. 

Me, Jimbo, and a co-worker started this cleanse yesterday to jump start our healthy eating and I have to say... it's hard! Day One is eating any kind of fruit except for bananas. Yesterday, I ate watermelon, grapes, cantaloupe, pineapple, and oranges all day long. It was delicious but I wanted a hot meal so bad especially since it was cold outside. I told myself that there are so many people out there that are starving and would give anything to have the luxury of eating fruit all day long. That helped. It also helps that today I can eat as many veggies as I want (minus beans & corn) and I even get a baked potato!!We are so excited LOL. I woke up this morning feeling lighter and excited to carry on with this. Here is the seven day cleanse if you want to do it with us! 

I will let you know next week how the rest went. Wish us luck! 

Love, E
