I'm back!

I apologize for not posting in quite some time. I'll be honest that I got frustrated the last few days of the cleanse. I was feeling very sad that I actually started having more trouble "eliminating" (i love saying that) than before the cleanse. This fact really kind of made me mad. I was like "why did i even do this"! I am happy to say that things seem to finally be getting back to normal! It was getting annoying hearing about Robyn's and Ryan's great eliminations and not being able to get any action going myself :( Oh well, enough with the self-pity..haha

Started the Lean in 13 portion. I quickly realized that the regimen would be a little too strict for my liking. I decided to embark on the "Kim plan". This is just my normal diet but now I am paying even closer attention to the carbs I eat. I am taking the vitamins and I think they have helped with energy! I am like Robyn and will be using the Advocare shakes, spark (maybe) and rehydrate. Just like with any meal plan or exercise regimen, every Advocare product will not be for everyone. You have to assess what your needs are and go from there!

I will be getting back up on my soap box regularly again...I know you can't wait..haha :P

PS-had a great session with a client at work this morning. she is struggling with some emotional times right now and we basically had a therapy session. It was really awesome! I was totally born to help people and I know that :) Moral of the story was - When we are emotionally stressed, it is that much more important that we take care of ourselves physically/nutritionally. If we eat garbage when we already feel like garbage, we are just digging that hole of sadness/self-loathing even deeper. Use that good food fuel to help you do whatever you need to do to feel better! One more thing - seeing a counselor/therapist has gotten a very bad rap. i know there are a lot of quacks out there, but I also know that there are a lot of good helpers out there as well. My dad happens to be one of them (one of my heroes/role models). If you are down/struggling with emotions or hardships don't feel as those you are a crazy a-hole if you need to talk to someone. Sometimes all we need is an impartial person to listen to help us feel better or come to our own realizations!
