BPC Take 2

not sure if you remember - but i took the 'Whole30' challenge back in May - i never posted about it again, b/c i epically F-A-I-L-E-D at it! - i was good for maybe 5 days - then i was losing my mind with what i could or couldn't have, was this organic enough, did the cow only eat this type of grass, was i not suppose to use that spice, and prepping meals to no end for when i was at work and running to the gym - forget eating out or dinner parties - it was just a nightmare for me, at that time specifically, but i hope to hop back on that lifestyle of eating in late fall


but not so fast, i'm back at it, cleanse wise - this time to my good ole faithful cleanse - Blue Print Cleanse - i'm doing it for - waiiiit for ittttt - 18 DAYS! - 18 days of just juicing straight - don't get me wrong, i'm scared, but it's paid for and i'm just awaiting its first installment of juice tomorrow morning - sorta' strange how life works out - i actually did the 3 day cleanse at this same exact time last year - i'm really devoted to getting my body and mind back aligned and kicking butt! - and i get a 75 minute consultation this time around with a nutritionist Tuesday night too




so tell me Butterflies ....
DO YOU CLEANSE/DETOX?
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT IT?
WHAT HAVE YOU TRIED OR WANTED TO TRY?
DO YOU USE A BUDDY SYSTEM?
(this time i'm doing the 18 day cleanse with one of my girlfriends)
DO YOUR GUY'S DO IT?
(by default Joe will be on a 'diet' since i won't be cooking)

SCHOOL ME, BUTTERFLIES!! - I WANNA BE IN THE KNOW!!

  1. Hi Erika!

    Sounds like you are excited about this!! Detox to me means cutting out refined foods and focusing more on fruits, vegetables, and lean protein. Sometimes I make soups filled with greens.. kind of like a cleansing soup. When it comes to diet or cleansing plans, if you are able to stick with it, exercise, think straight, and you are getting the results you want.. it's working for you :)

    I think most Nutritionists believe that carrying around a little extra weight is better than getting into that yo-yo syndrome.

    Enjoy the start to your week.

  3. So funny because I was JUST thinking about cleansing again this morning. Thanks to my reflective state I'm thinking that I want to be healthier and be kinder to my body. I did Cooler Cleanse before successfully but never BPC but have heard good things about it. But I can't believe you're doing 18 days! WHOA! Good luck with that. Let us know how it goes. And glad to hear you have a friend to do it with. J & I usually do ours together. I'm probably not going to start one until after the summer but I'll be looking at you for inspiration beforehand :) xoxo

  4. Hi Erika :) I agree with Leslie. I've always been told that a body does it's own detox. Things like drinking maple syrup flavored lemon water 10x a day isn't doing anything for you besides starving you. Your liver and kidneys detox naturally as long as you're feeding yourself with whole and real foods. I think it's good you'll be drinking whole foods in juice form though! Good luck for those 18 days - sounds like a buddy system is smart :)

  9. Hi! Just stumbled upon your blog and it's super adorable. This post made me laugh because my husband and I did the 3 day BCP a few months ago. I complained the whole time and swore I would never go down that road again but I've actually been thinking about doing it again because I have had one cupcake/glass of wine/cheeto too many this summer. I'm also considering the joule body cleanse...have you ever tried that one???
    xo...
