Day 181: Colo
rado Rockies Opening Day!! Mike and I walked about five miles on Monday to pick up a friend (to walk further with us), then walked to meet other buddies, next to the stadium and lastly, a half-mile until we found our final cab that took us home for the night. My feet were covered in filthy happiness.
Day 182: Half-way through and guess what? I forgot 😦 I did not forget to workout, but I forgot to make it a special workout to signify how far I have
come. Mike and I spent the majority of our day house hunting and our minds were full of house owning dreams, confusing floor plans, mortgage fears, remodeling ideas and lots of other confusing things to first time home buyers. Exhausted from our day, we decided to walk together for an hour hand-in-hand while discussing our best options. On second thought, I’m not sure if I would redo this workout in any other way.
Day 183: This morning I went to a crossfit bootcamp at Washington Park at 6 a.m. For those of you who have been following me for awhile, you know that those early morning classes do not happe
n often. One of my friends talked me into making the commitment and I could not let her down. We warmed up with what alone would have been the hardest workout I have had in months: Indian Runs. After that there were lots of burpees (youtube it, I can’t even begin to explain that one), air squats, kettle-bell swings and sprinting. It was brutal and awesome rolled into one. Here is the link if you’re interested in checking out this early a.m. butt-kicking with Crossfit Stapleton: http://crossfitstapleton.com/stapleton-bootcamps/
Lastly, I wanted to share with you something that has the potential to change a lot of lives. My fiance and I watched “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead,” a documentary on the benefits of juicing and eating a healthy diet.

Afterwards we both looked at each other and said, “we have to do this.” Many hours of research later we decided to get the Vitam
ix 500 and start our 10 day juicing challenge tomorrow. It’s going to be tough in so many ways and we are fully prepared for what is going to happen to our detoxifying bodies. Actually, scratch that, I am not prepared. However, I am dedicated and excited to see how this challenge changes my relationship with food. Don’t you worry, I’ll be sharing our experience along the way.
If you see me around and I look quite angry, please forgive me. I will be blaming my tude’ on the all liquid diet. Here we go!
365 Days, 365 Workouts 
I have been following your blog and love it. I too have recently watched “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead” and am getting a vitamix for my birthday later this month! I have been told that may work to ease into the juicing thing because it can cause GI distress (this info from a holistic MD friend of mine who is into juicing and other extremely good habits!). Congratulations on your daily workouts!
Thank you so much! If I come across any good recipes then I will post them on here. Please email me some of your favs as well and happy early birthday!
I too just watched this movie last Friday on hulu and really liked it . I thought about doing it although it would be eaiser to have someone to do it with :). I have a blendtec, so I would use that as I have tried juicing and know I wouldn’t like to clean up that mess constantly, blending is much easier, just hope it’s as good. So far with my blendtec I have mostly made green smoothies, haven’t experimented too much yet.
Terri, do you want to join me on the challenge? I am only two meals in. We can share and compare! I have a great green smoothie recipe if you’re interested, I’ll send it to you.
