3-Day Detox

I just finished the Jay Robb Fruit Flush 3-Day Detox.
The first day was based on drinking 5 meals of 6oz of water with 24grams of whey protein podwer every 2 hours. The 6th meal was protein and alot vegetables and salad.
The second and third day were based on eating 5 meals of fresh fruit every 2 hours and the 6th meal I had protein and alot of vegetables and salad.
I got a little headache the first day and I missed my regular morning coffee :) The second and thirth day weren't too bad. Maybe alittle weak.
It was great and I am glad I did!
I did this Detox to re-gain some health and to just feel better. It worked!

Getting Slowly Back to my Training

After conversations with my husband/coach Franz and another great trainer Aaron Wilson, we figured out that I may have Adrenal Fatigue. I have read about it and feel that I experience 98% of the most common symptoms of the AF.
Anyway I went to see a specialist on breathing problems. He found I was in pretty good shape but he wanted to put me on some medications to prevent the breathing troubles I have had.
I told the doctor the type of workouts I have been doing for he last 1.5 years, poor sleep and stress but he didn't give it too much importance. I told him I feel exausted all the time but he didn't give it too much importance either......???? because of my persistence he let me have some Lab tests to find out what else is going on.
Well I left from his office alittle more calm because I could know that my breathing system and heart are working right. :)
Because of this health challenge I've decided to rest more, sleep more, and do my best without killing myself.
...... and let me tell you that I can still press and pistol the 24kg kettlebell without any problem :)

Lifting again!

After my visit to the emergency room I hadn't lifted weight for two weeks. I have felt weak and tired so I have chosen to walk and enjoy more time with Rex and Chewbaca (My baby dogs). Well I thought it was time to workout with some bells.

10 minutes workout
Double KBs Press 5 reps (12 kg)
Swing 10 reps (16 kg)

10 minutes workout
Renegade Row 5 reps each side (12 kg)
Snatch 5 reps each side (16 kg)

10 minutes workout
Single Leg Deadlift 5 reps each side (16 kg)
Rope Waves 20 reps

I felt pretty good. I did not have problems with my breathing but I felt like I was training using the 20 kg kettlebells :(
