10-Day Reboot Your Life Challenge (Jan 25-Feb 3)

I completed a 10-day juice fast January 4th-January 14th (The 14th was the last day!). I blogged on it (http://tinyurl.com/7ngj9nj) and it was mentally and physically one of the best challenges I completed. I also lost 6.6 lbs breaking a 5 month plateau, lost my bloated belly (inches), and gained a new appreciation for all the nutrients from veggies and fruit I was missing out during my daily eating routine.

I watched the documentary, "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead", a Joe Cross Film (http://www.fatsickandnearlydead.com), via Netflix or Hulu. It has changed my life. I decided to watch this on my 3rd day of fasting which I heard was the most difficult!

I strategically choose these dates (Jan 25-Feb 3) right before SUPER BOWL!!! Also plenty of time to figure out your juicing method (Juicer/Ninja/Food Processor what have you) and to buy fresh veggies and fruit.

You should weigh yourself the morning of and take measurements. I weighed myself on day 1/day 6/day 11 (the end!).

Who's ready to Reboot Your Life?

    I've done this before with my husband. He watched this documentary with me and we bought our juicer from Bed Bath & Beyond. I lovemy juicer. I also notice when I do juice I feel a milion times better.
