January: Cleanse Challenge

So now that we're back on the ball for the new year, we're going to try a few different things. First of all, we've got a photo-a-day fitness challenge going on at our Instagram account (link in the sidebar!) which you should totally join, because it's uber fun :)

And this month's challenge is going to be a little different too, because we wanted to not only try something new, we wanted to try TWO somethings new! :)

We're going to be trying two different cleanses, not to make our bodies freak out, but so that we can have a taste (no pun intended) of two different things, and see which one we like better, and be able to share our comparison and contrasting experiences with all of you!

So starting on Monday, we're going to start the first two weeks of our cleanse challenge, starting simple. Going off these articles (here and here) we're going to start drinking ice water in the morning, and hot water in the evening. They both have health benefits, albeit minimal, but every little bit helps, right?

And that will lead us into the last two weeks of the month, when we're going to try another cleanse, that is a little more intense: the apple cider vinegar cleanse. My mom has done this before, and she swears by it. Not only does it promote weight loss, but it also heals whatever ails you. There's a video at that link which explains all the health benefits, which are many. So I'm excited to give it a try! If for no other reason than because I can kinda treat it like lemonade, which is my drink of choice :)

So if you're feeling brave or ambitious, feel free to try it with us! Or let us know how you're starting the year off! Just leave us a comment and let us know :)
