Getting Healthy 2013: An Update & A Giveaway

I signed-up for the second round of the weight-loss competition at the gym and weigh-in was Friday. I have big plans for this challenge as I talked about in my previous post(s). I’m planning on loosing over 30lbs in 12 weeks. I’m going to be doing this while mostly eating paleo/clean. Tomorrow morning I am also starting a 7-day juice reboot and if that goes well I may extend it to 14 days. I hate to call it a “juice fast” as I’m technically not fasting at all – I’m eating WAY more fruit and veggies than I would get in a normal day!

I’m loving my celery & cucumber juice every morning and now I’ll be having it more often throughout the day and adding kale into the mix. I’m going to make a more fruit-based one for the morning and then the remainder of the day will be what is often referred to as “Mean Green”.

Prepping my strawberries for my weekly juicing. It makes clean-up much easier when you do this prep all at once.

I did juice for 90% of my meals today and I’ve had great energy all day. I even got a good workout in this morning! I changed up the cardio today and rocked out on the rowing machine. My new S11-Flex headphones were a lifesaver on the rowing machine – I don’t have anywhere to put my phone while on the rower and the cord on regular headphones gets all restrictive! Plus the sound was amazing so I totally pushed harder while rocking out to some Maroon 5!

I’ve been talking for a few weeks now about how much I enjoy taking a sauna after my workout. It helps me relax and makes me feel like it’s giving me a good detox and helping my muscles recover from a hard workout! I also notice my skin looks nicer after a few trips. Last week I was contacted by the folks at Great Saunas asking if I would share a giveaway with you – and while I’m sad that I can’t win I’m so excited that one of you will have the opportunity! Gah SO jealous of y’all that get to enter this!
