Tips for first timers:
*make only as much juice as you can drink at one time because fresh squeezed juice can quickly develop harmful bacteria.
*When juicing, try to keep some of the pulp. Not only does it have healthy fiber, but it can help fill you up.
So I also mentioned I would let you follow along with my workout regimes as well.
Today, I started my day with a 45 minute light yoga routine. I love to visit My Yoga Online, when looking to change up my yoga routine a bit. I usually am one to do more power yoga, but during my cleanse I really aim to focus on the relaxation and meditative aspects of yoga. Tonight, once I finish this blog, I am going to close my day with a 30 minute Pilates session. I have a a few videos that I have downloaded, but I highly recommend trying out a local studio near you if you are a beginner to the practice :)
Finally, I really want to stress the importance of drinking water. I try to drink about 1 gallon to 1.5 gallons per day. It does seem like a lot, but when you consider that our body is made up of about 60% water. Obviously, if you are not one to usually consume that much water in a day this might be difficult and your bladder might dislike you at the beginning. However, a good trick that works for me is to keep a 1 liter bottle with me at all times and try to make it through 4-5 of those each day. Every time I sit down for a meal (which you should be doing even if it is a liquid meal, learn to enjoy the process and appreciate what you are consuming), I try to drink one whole liter. Leaving me with only an additional liter or two to finish during the rest of my day. Also you can throw some chopped lemons, limes, strawberries, cucumber and dill, whatever fresh produce you like to add flavor :)
Hope you enjoy the first day of Super Clean Eating ;)hahha
