Arbonne 30 Day Cleanse

Hi Friends!

I’m here to document my journey through the Arbonne cleanse. I’ve had my eye on this cleanse for years but have been making excuse after excuse, until NOW because i’m sick of having unhealthy eating habits and low energy.

Alright! Now that we’re all on the same page…

DAY 1: LET’S DO THIS

*Disclaimer* this should technically be day 3 but I struggled to fully commit the last two days, and every day is a new day… It takes some warming up to. #honestyisthebestpolicy

I woke up and took my digestive plus with water as well as my hot detox tea and felt great! Then I went to the gym, feeling energized and excited about resetting my body. I did a 60 minute les mills body pump class (which is one of my personal favorites for a sweaty fully body work out).

Breakfast: When I got to work I made my protein shake with Arbonne’s YUM vanilla protein power (the only vegan powder i’ve actually enjoyed). I added handfuls of spinach, almonds, chia, cinnamon and turmeric.

Snack: Arbonne’s famous fizz stick which means energy without the acidic elements of coffee

Lunch: Grilled chicken, quinoa salad with arugula, tomato and mushrooms

Dinner: Shake it up!

Plus, if you’re intimidated by cooking, there are tons of sneaky tricks that can help make assembling delicious meals a cinch. From easy breakfast options to methods for whipping up meals in bulk, we’ve got expert tips to set yourself up for a fuss-free and healthy week. Whip out your favorite Tupperware and get started.

WET Weights

SEVEN TIPS FOR WEIGHT TRAINING BEGINNERS:

1. STAY HYDRATED
Muscle is 75% water. So weigh yourself on a digital scale before and after your workout. Then drink the difference in ounces of water.

2. BRING TWO TOWELS TO THE GYM
One for your post- workout shower, one for sweat-soaked equipment. (Always wipe your filthy slime off the bench between sets.)

3. BE PREPARED TO SPOT
As a beginner, ask the person exactly what you should do.

4. EMBRACE THE DUMBBELL
You won’t need a spotter, you’ll rarely have to wait for a pair, and they’ll work your muscles harder than machines.

5. CONTROL THE WEIGHT
As a beginner, never use a weight that’s so heavy that you need momentum to lift it. A simple gauge: You should be able to pause for at least one second before lifting aweight.

6. START SLOW
Making minor amendments to your daily routine will fly under the radar of your conscious thought and become positive habits. In other words, if you start so gradually that you barely notice the change, you’ll be more apt to continue it and make more changes without them ever seeming daunting.

7. STAND UP STRAIGHT
Want an easy way to tell if you’re performing your exercises correctly? Check your posture. The correct starting position for most exercises is shoulders back, chest out, standing (or sitting) tall, with your abs tight. Good posture, good form.
