Cleanse and renew!!

It's weird by the end of July I was feeling exhausted, ADD'd and just kind of Off. Do you know what I mean? So I decided it was time to shake up my body and lifestyle and do a 30-day cleanse. Added to it I decided to change my workout regime, not because I needed weight loss but because of workout burnout and boredom! Sometimes you have to shakeup your life and get renewed!! So it's been about 23 days since this all started and now I’m starting to feel great. But I can tell you During the first 2 weeks my body went thru hell while I detoxed all the bad food/crap I ate...LOL After day 14 I was so tired, I could have slept for a week. I'd wake up and after 3 hours I was ready for bed again. Then, thankfully after 5 more days I found my energy and was ready to take on the world... :) So we will see if after the next 7 days I feel 10-15 years younger…LOL one can only hope
So as far as my workouts are all I can say is “wow”!! When I started exercising again I hurt for days and I mean sore like I ran a marathon but in reality only exercised for 40 minutes...pretty sad...LOL This Brazilian Butt Lift workout worked muscles that I don't think I've used since I was a Dancer at 16, which is good I guess?? I was feeling old after being so sore but when my 11 year old daughter completed the workout and she was just as sore as I was...all I felt was humor and relief. What I find with working out is you, not on purpose but by habit you start to use the same muscles over and over again. Whether you’re doing it at the gym with some workout DVDs... and so when you change it up (which you should) all the non-used muscled scream "Mercy"!!! Load and clear. So I’m a firm believer in changing your workouts all the time. Well I will let you all know how my 6 weeks progresses, hopefully less pain more gain!!
