Early New Years Resolution and Juicing

I’m back--with an early New Years resolution of really keeping up with my blog this year.  It has become a sad overgrown lawn in need of desperate care and maintenance.  I miss having it as an outlet, as a space to share my thoughts, feelings and life, whether or not anyone is actually reading.

Let’s start with a personal moment.  I’ve had migraines since I was 7 years old.  Like way bad migraines.  Ones that have required constant prophylactic medication, hospital visits, countless neurologists, and even an injection that I give myself Seth gives me when it gets really unbearable.

Recently they’ve been extra bad.  I’ve seriously had one everyday for a month.  I come home from work, take a shot, strap on a cold mask, and beg my husband to rub my head while I fall asleep—all before 7pm.  Not a very fun way to live.

So, I started going to an Upper Cervical Chiropractor.  You can read more about that here, if you are interested. So far it seems to be working.  And, at the suggestion of my Chiropractor, I’ve jumped on the juicing train in an effort to really detox and reboot my body.

I am doing a 15 day reboot plan where you eat and juice for 5 days and juice only for 10 days.  So far it’s been three days and a lot of kale.  Honestly, it is so much food for the first 5 days, it is almost hard to eat it all, I feel like all I do is eat all day long.  Here’s a peek of what my days have looked like..

I am happy to report that so far, I feel pretty good (despite fighting a cold).  I’ve been warned that the first few days are rough, but hopefully easing into the juicing by eating first will help.  I'll keep posting with progress for anyone interested!
