To celebrate my 15th cancer free anniversary on Valentine’s Day Darling and I are doing a three day juice cleanse. I have been wanting to do a detox since I went off my meds for Lyme/Bartonella. I am pretty excited because the last time Darling and Sacha had to do a 5 day by themselves since at the time I was on medication and I puked after the first juice (when your meds say take with food, they mean it!). I am using The Three Day Cleanse book (from the people who do The Blueprint Cleanse). We are doing a level one cleanse and will be doing 6 juices a day.
Day 1
1. greens with apple

We purchased as much as we could from Costco to keep the price down. We had to get a few things from the Co-op and I still need to make a run to Giant for a couple things. We start on Monday!
Yesterday Darling, Mila and I went shopping for new sneakers and workout pants (Off Broadway for the shoes and TJ Maxx for the pants). I am registering for Zumba with G and Darling and I are getting the couch to 5k app that Sacha introduced us to. Also I have my first appointment with a natural MD tomorrow (Dr Rothschild in Mt Airy). I hope it goes well! It feels good to make time for these healthy things even though we have a two year old + nine yr old + thirteen yr old. It is so hard to find any time for things these days.
