8 Week "Detox" starts tomorrow!!

I'm ready!  My bone broth is almost done, and today I made my first "detox" smoothie in my new NutriBullet.  It wasn't delicious, but wasn't terrible, either.  Ingredients: kale, 1/2 avocado, Vital Clear powder, 2 tbls ground flax seed, 4 oz coconut milk, some raspberries.  I think if I add some honey, or some more fruit that it will taste better.  I just don't want to overload on the sugars/carbs if I"m drinking this every morning.

Had a pretty good weekend.  Went mountain biking Saturday morning with 12 other women with the Girlz Gone Riding mountain bike club.  We did a shuttle that took us and our bikes to the top of Glendora Mountain, then from there we mountain biked downhill for 7 miles, and got the shuttle again to do it again.  It was pretty fun, but the first half of the trail was very fast and too bumpy for my hardtail bike.  Everyone else was on really nice full-suspension bikes.  I did wipe out on the 2nd time down.  Took it too fast in a corner and my back tire skid out in a patch sand.  Have a nice wound on my forearm and bruise on the outside of my knee.  :(  Guess I should've been wearing knee and elbow pads like everyone else!  haha

Yesterday I spent the day drinking.  LOL  Had my favorite beer- Summer Shandy- here at the apartment, then I rode down to Hermosa Beach with my roommate and her boyfriend.  It was "Fiesta Hermosa" this weekend down there, so the beach and The Strand was packed with people.  It was really cool to see so many people out playing beach volleyball, riding their bikes, and having fun at the party.  When we came home, we hung out on the patio and drank margaritas.  My roommate made up a Paleo margarita, it was good!  Tequila, lime juice, strawberries, Stevia, and ice.  I'll have to try this again when I'm allowed to drink again.  ;)

Today I spent the day cleaning and getting ready for the week.  My buddy Steph is coming tomorrow with her 2 year old daugher, Ella.  Yay!!!  We will have so much fun this week.  :)   I ran to the beach earlier today with my GoPro head strap.  I got footage from my apartment right until I hit the beach, then the battery died.  :(  The beach and Strand was still packed with people out having fun and enjoying the beautiful weather.

So tomorrow begins Day 1 of 8 weeks of clean paleo.  No cheating!!  I hope I can make it.  I think because I'm see the Naturopath again in 8 weeks, that it will really motivate me to stick with it.  I have to see if this works for me!  Funny thing, I've lost some weight recently, although I've been eating junk and sugar.  Crazy.

Well this week will be busy, but I've gotta blog/keep a journal for my class assignment, so I'll probably write a blog 3x a week.  :)

Thanks for reading!
