Let the Insanity Begin! Week Seven Results

I cannot believe we have only one week left in this round of Insanity. Yes, I said "this round" because we are going to keep working out. The question is what we should next: Power 90, which I bought years ago; another round of Insanity; or get the CharLEAN DVDs. I know I am not ready to graduate to Asylum, the new Shaun T. program. We definitely want to focus on muscle building. For me, it's all about strengthening my upper body and core. I want to be able to lift and hold up my body weight.

But first we are going to do a 3-day detox before we jump back into another grueling exercise program. I wish we had done this before Insanity, it would have been a nice way to kick start our weight loss by ridding our bodies of water weight, built up toxins, and undissolved waste.

I was planning to have us do the Shakeology detox, but at $120 per kit that is way too expensive. I think a better investment is to buy a juicer. I used to detox regularly as part of my health regime so I know what to do. We are researching juicers and I found several juice cleansing recipes online. The first step is to ease into it by eating light a couple of days before the juice fast (no simple carbs, no meat, no fatty foods or refined sugars...nothing that the digestive system has to work hard to metabolize). Then 3 days of juice, juice, juice! Then we break the fast slowly by incorporating solids back into our diet starting with fruits/veggies, whole grains and leaving meat and dairy for last.

That's the plan!
