I googled green smoothie for recipies and stumbled upon a Green Smoothie 14 day challenge. I was immediately intigued by the recipes and the testimonials by others on how green smoothies changed their health for the better. As someone who has a thyroid condidtion I figured I had nothing to lose and a lot to gain. I signed up and immediatly recieved my Day 1 email.
My first recipe consisted of lettuce and bananas. When I mention this to people their immediate reaction is "GROSS!". Honestly I didn't think it was gross at all, or maybe I didn't let myself think it was gross. I tossed in my bananas and blended it with water then added my lettuce and blended a little more. Surprisingly, it wasn't half bad although I didn't care for the tast of the bananas. (Yes it was the bananas that I didn't like).
I went back to the website and started reading some FAQ's. People were writing about side effects they were having, and I swear as I was reading I started to feel sick. Logic tried to tell me there was no way possible I could be having side effects that fast and I knew it was psychosematic but I didn't care. I tried to finish as much as I could and threw the rest away.
Did I feel like I failed? NO WAY. I had an idea, I tried it, and I didn't like it. I TRIED IT. I reached a goal. I didn't just say I wanted to do it and always wondered, I acutally did it and I am so proud of myself for it. I took another step in my journey and feel pretty damn good.
So what's next? I plan on running a 5k in October ( my birthday month) and have already started training on the treadmill and look forward to documenting my progress.
