3-Day Smoothie Challenge

So I have decided that I am going to do my own challenge.  3 days of smoothies.  If I can go 3, why not 7?  They say that the first 3 days are the hardest, so if I can make it through the 3, I am going to go for 7.  I will be sure to keep everyone posted on my progress!

I have been fighting inner demons again lately...seems to be something I am incapable of fighting on my own.  Fitness and healthy eating are the key...and that is part of the reason I am going to do this 3 day challenge.  I need to know that I can do it...it is more mental than physical, I think.

 I have two real passions in life: fitness/health, and photography. I am going to school for photography, and plan to pursue a career in the field once I graduate.  I am not a people person, really, so I prefer to shoot nature and landscapes. Or food. :)  I love shooting food.  #TeamEatFoodGetFit was started because I know that people don't need to DIET, they just need to eat real food. REAL food is the key to maintaining as well as losing weight. But I am getting off topic.... :)

School, a full-time job where I weekly bring in over 40 hours can be mentally draining.  Fitness and photography have been my rock...even when I haven't worked out (being too depressed, which I know is a catch-22) I have stayed plugged in with my world-wide Fitstar friends. Being a part of something that spans the globe and brings so many people from so many different lifestyles and cultures together is very humbling. I am beyond grateful for them. :)

Has anyone else done a smoothie detox or short-term diet?                          I am curious to hear about what others have done, and what has worked for them.  I will be using leafy greens from my garden, as well as some store-bought stuff I have in the fridge right now.  I am also going to use flax seeds. It should be interesting.

Again, I will keep everyone updated on my progress.  I will post again after day 3. :)
