Last week, Mike and I decided to embark upon a cleanse… I’m generally pretty skeptical about these things, but had read an article in Outside Magazine that convinced me to give it a shot. This particular 28-day cleanse was based on the book Clean, by Alejandro Junger. Among other things, we had to give up caffeine, alcohol, sugar, dairy, bread/gluten, and red meat. AGH! Needless to say, the 28-day cleanse only lasted 3 days for us… we are still trying to keep some of the principles (I’ve only had caffeine twice in the last week and a half! wow!) but forget trying to get this midwestern girl to give up her beef. Are you kidding me?!
So, without further ado, here are the hugs and duds for today:
HUGS:
–Cheese. Lots of Cheese.
–MLK, Jr. Day. We had a great event here at Christ Church for a day of service with United Way– it was awesome!
–Outside Magazine. Despite leading me astray with the cleanse, it is a pretty great mag.
DUDS:
–cleanses. and anything asking me to abstain from eating bacon.
– bad drivers. (There’s an abundance of them here.)
–not having any more candy. I foolishly gave it away at the beginning of the cleanse, and am woefully regretting it now.
