Woohoo Day 6 is almost over

Hey everyone

We hope that your Tuesday is going well! It sure has gone by fast!

Lori and I both a had good day today..started day 6 of cleanse with our lemon water and enemas. Such a fun morning isn’t! Don’t be jealous.

Here is a quick re-cap of what we ate:

Breakfast: green smoothie – about 18 oz each

Snack: Split a kombucha tea

Twins Workout: Yoga Podcast

Lately we have been doing a online yoga through Exercise TV that our friend Stephanie told us about, which we love, but today we were feeling something more slowly and focused. We gave yogadownload, that our friend Gina does : ) We did 3 short series of 20 minutes, each focusing on something different…detox, core and a basic vinyasa flow. We really enjoyed each one!!!

Lunch: green juice – 14 oz each

Dinner: green smoothie – about 12 oz

Snack: chia pudding and possibly more of our cocktail kombucha tea (can’t seem to get enough)

The hunger for food is starting to creep in…we are both looking forward to having something to chew : )

Although our plan is to ease back into solid food because anytime you take a break from having solid meals you need to ease your body back into them. At least that is what we have learned.

I finally ordered us a kombucha tea starter, so excited about that : ) Also ordered some kelp noodles (my newest obsession that I got at 105 degrees) and water kefir. Our friends Anthony and Ani told us so much about it and recommended we give it a try.  We are getting it from Dawn at Happy + Healthy …Balance One thing Lori and I are doing is increasing our fermented foods to help grow good bacteria in our gut again. Our bodies are “slackers” when it comes to good digestion so good bacteria should help with keeping our bodies happy and healthy.

From dealing with digestive issues and having food allergies, our gut has been damaged so we are repairing it! We are still going to get regular colonics to help get rid of the old waste, take probiotics, eat more fermented food, and keep eating a lot of dark leafy greens.

Both of us are really starting to feel a change in us. We feel all this hard work (yes avoiding yummy foods is work) is starting to pay off. Although things do not happen overnight, we still have a journey ahead of us, but both are more optimistic that we will be healed!!! Lori is still struggling with more breakouts on her face (my face is slowly calming down) and both still have depression issues though as I mentioned we are REALLY trying hard to keep our heads up and see the light on the other side (so to speak).

We will now see how our colon works after taking this cleanse, doing enemas, colonics, watching our sugar, drinking lots of water, and sweating! Hopefully our colon is on the right track to heal and start working properly for us! We truly feel we are taking the right steps that our bodies need to be alive and vibrant again! Because as many of you know we are training for our second marathon. Yes, we have not started training yet… hopefully next week.

One thing that we both have learned from the cleanse is that our bodies do show us signs when something is not right working. You just have to slow down and listen to it. We all have different bodies with unique characteristics which makes us all so SPECIAL! Everyone experiences different “health” issues and these issues that we have been discussing with you all have been ours. We hope our journey will help you become more aware of your body and don’t be embarrassed no matter what your issue is. And that our bodies are WONDERFUL machines —- you can really HEAL herself through proper foods (good nutrition) and exercise.

Take care.

Till next time,

Lori and Michelle
