Spring Cleanse

We've all heard of spring cleaning, right? Spring cleaning your bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, the entire house! But what about spring cleaning your body?

If you follow me on Instagram you know that I've been eating a lot of junk food lately. Pizza, Japanese food, birthday cake Oreos...the works!

My lovely blogger friend Marissa (from Barefoot Colorado) asked me if I wanted to do this cleanse with her and I jumped at the chance! Marissa is a total health/exercise nut and she's in amazing shape.  Because I can barely walk up the stairs to my apartment without collapsing, I decided I really needed to make a change in my life. So this is just the beginning!

Basically, I'm doing the 10 day Advocare cleanse. Marissa sells all of the Advocare products so if you want any more info on this cleanse go chat with her! She's the sweetest and will definitely answer any question you've got!

So, the cleanse lasts 10 days and consists of drinking a fiber tea, taking herbal cleanse supplements, a probiotic and omega-3 supplement and an (optional) energy drink. It all sounded like a lot at first, but Marissa gave me a step-by-step meal plan that guides me through everything! It also lists everything you can and can't eat and that's where I got a little sad.

Basically, since you're cleansing you can't have carbs, sugar, unhealthy fats, processed foods, chocolate, coffee, or happiness. I'm kidding, I really am excited to do this! Plus, it's only 10 days so hopefully it'll teach me a little bit of self control along the way. You get to eat 3 meals a day plus 3 snacks which was such a releif for me! This is definitely not a juice cleanse.  I enjoy eating way way way too much to drink only juice for 3 or 7 or 10 days or whatever. I know, I know Beyoncé swears by the master cleanse but I really don't know how she does it. I would be hangry 24/7.


I'll be posting more about the cleanse in the upcoming week so be sure to check back for more updates! Also, if you're really interested, follow me on twitter  where i'll be tweeting live updates! I'll be using the hashtag: #TheCleanse. It's a bit dramatic I know, but that's just who I am!

Wish me luck!
