Oh yeah! So a juice cleanse is where you drink these weird juice concoctions for a few days or a week or 10 days and you don''t eat any food, and it supposedly cleanses your body of its toxins and makes you lose like 10lbs really fast (read: poop your guts out). I think they''re probably really bad for you, and I would probably be intolerably cranky if I did one. But all the Hollywood celebs seem to like it!

I don''t see how this is bad.

I love pooping. I love juice. I love losing weight.

LOL. Shirt??

Let''s do it then, Elle!!

princessplease, where do you live? we will totally shop with you!


i once went shopping with a friend who bought such a tight stretchy dress that she needed two of us to zip her into it. i wouldn''t have bought that dress!!

I live in the Philadelphia area. Where are you at, T?

NYC! I love Philly - it''s so pretty and historical!

That''s awesome that your only 2 hours away!! FI and I love going to NYC. The shopping can''t be beat.

I''m down in DC...I''ve only been to Philly once for all of like 24 hours...for the Philly Distance Run in September, but I want to go back and do all the touristy and not-touristy stuff!

there''s one at GNC (i think it''s an açai berry one, i''ll post later with the link) that you''re supposed to eat while on it, and it''s gotten good reviews. i think i might try that one.
i''m also going to grab some forskohlii supplements. (in the 10-20% forskohlii range and 150-250mg serving range) that stuff is supposed to be pretty amazing!

off to go meet up with my shred buddy. i''m starting to hurt less.

 

[princessplease]

OK, lunch for real now, lol! TTYL gals

Actually it''s supposedly very good for you to fast a couple times of year. The juice gives you the caloric nutrition you need but because it''s mostly water, lemon and pure maple syrup, it cleans out your system too. Yes you poop weird stuff, but that''s just stuff that''s been stuck in your colon for years.

I''ve tried it a few times...I only last between 4-5 days. Yes you lose weight but a lot of it is water weight.


Morning everyone!

Philly is great! There is so much to do up here. It''s best in the spring and fall, though.

I have never been to DC to do the touristy stuff. Hmm....birthday idea to tell FI?

 

[vc10um]

Sounds FABULOUS, HDG!!!

(The diamond AND the trip!) Have fun!!!

T and elle, you''ll have to let us know how it goes.

Squirrly, have a good workout...and I have no clue what that stuff is...fill us in later!!!

Awesome. Thanks in advance, T.

Seriously, though, can''t people wait until the doors are fully opened and they''ve checked to make sure no one''s getting off before they rush on?!?!

Hey ladies--I''m still here, just getting ready for my interview. Hard to do when every time you sit down, a cat jumps into your lap and makes him/herself at home.

Our cats our such lovers.

I''ve never done one of those cleanses, but I know someone who swears by the water/lemon/maple syrup/cayenne pepper cleanse. Maybe I''ll give it a try one of these days.

The dieting is going well in our house. Last night we had quinoa and broccoli with some clementine tangerines for dessert. Who knows--maybe I will end up losing a few pounds if we keep eating like this!

 

[CNOS128]

I guess you just need a few days where you''re not planning to leave the house, before you embark on a "cleanse." Maybe that''ll be my spring break!

Great! FI said I could have the dinner of my choice so I picked pizza and buffalo wings

Totally worth the million grams of fat. Plus he got me two HUGE cupcakes (one red velvet with a candle! and one chocolate chocolate) from Crumbs in Grand Central Station - SOOOOO YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!

We had a blast eating and playing video games. This weekend he's taking me to a movie and out for dinner and Sunday I'm going to see OUR TOWN!

eta: OH!!!!!!! AND he got me this beautiful bracelet from a vendor in the city. She uses precious stones. let me see if I can find her site...

OK, gross but funny story. So for some reason broccoli always makes me a little gassy. So last night, we were in bed and I (quietly) let one rip. About 30 seconds later, K goes "WHAT THE F***??? That is beyond stinky...it''s....sulFURIOIUS!"

Best. Word. Ever.

Anytime, Elle!

If you haven''t gotten into quinoa, btw, you totally should. You cook it just like rice and it tastes similar to brown rice, but moister and more delicious. Nom nom nom nom nom. Plus, mix the leftover quinoa with feta cheese and tomato the next day and you have a delicious lunch. Maybe some green olives too. Mmmmmmm...
