Still Working Hard

Hey Everyone,

It is August. I got over my self esteem fail. Everyone gets double chin photos right? I have not been working out as much as I hoped for the past month but I do have my reasons. I ended up destroying my toe nails from running so much, and I ended up getting toe surgery on both big toes! After I was fully healed I started running and was able to run the farthest I've ever run! I love running, I just listen to my music and power on! The key to a good run is a good playlist. I am feeling motivated. I may post a running playlist in the future. ANYWAYS. After getting great runs in for about a week my leg died. I am not sure what is happening with it. I think I just pulled a couple of muscles in it or pinched a nerve. I asked some friends to describe shin splints and it doesn't sound like i have them, which is great, I hear those are horrible.

I am just itching to go running again but it hurts to walk still! I am slightly nervous, its been 4 or 5 days and my leg still hurts! Ill get it checked out if its more than a week.

Because my leg is not doing so well and I have been unable to exercise I thought it would be a great time to do the Lemonade Diet. I don't think I would ever do the Lemonade Diet while exercising because it just wouldn't be healthy. I would not be getting enough protein in me to work out.

For those wondering the Lemonade Diet or cleanse is a very famous cleanse in which you drink a combo of lemons, water, cayenne pepper, and maple syrup for ten days. This is the only thing you have, except a salt water flush in the morning and a laxative tea at night. People swear by this thing. I will be blogging about this all week hopefully!

I am nervous just thinking about it! I hope I make it through alive! If I start to not feel well I will stop immediately. Master cleanses can be iffy and I am keeping that in mind.

I hope you all are having a great summer.

Much Love,
