I’m done with Week 2 of Ruth’s program, and already I feel my endurance has improved, I feel I’m breathing easier, and most importantly, it’s becoming a really relaxing high that I sincerely look forward to! Next week I go from swimming 900 yards per workout to 1250 yards, but I feel confident. This goal is a lot more doable then I originally thought :)

...after probably almost a year of saying I wanted to do this! I have a free membership to the gym at the grad school I’m attending, so it’s time to start it up. About to head out for my first session. I’ll be following the plan prescribed by Ruth Kazez, which seems really doable and well-paced:

Though I planned to start on Ash Wednesday, I was too busy Mardi Gras-ing (ie toxifying up while I still can!) to get ready to cleanse. I did a cleanse in early November and I think I’m ready for a second go…I’m going to shoot for 2 weeks this time, starting Saturday morning, but I’ll be OK with anything after 10 days. For those of you who have cleansed multiple times, was it still as effective the second time? It’s only been three months since the last cleanse, but they’ve been pretty boozy, smoky, junk food filled months!
