This week you will make juicing and exercise to your new habit. Wow, you are doing extremely! Keep up the water and multi V’s and add juicing and exercise to this week’s assignment.

Once a day, either as the mid-morning snack or mid-afternoon snack, incorporate the juice. Best option is a carrot apple juice (2 carrots and 1 apple). Carrot and apple is enjoyable for people who just start out. These fruits and vegetables are sweet and loved by many.

Don’t worry; I’m not going to make you drink a cucumber/celery with herbs, although it would be a refreshing cleanser! For a variety of juice recipes and produce recipes, visit my website at www.monikabaechler.com

Next step is the exercise. You need to get moving! You have to start somewhere. If it’s not too cold, you can get out with the kids and play! Start walking or jogging, it can be anything you’re comfortable with.

Just get up and move!

If you aren’t ready to go outside or make an appearance at the gym, exercise at home. Everybody has workout- tapes or DVDs at home. Judging by my own experience, you probably have more than 3-5 DVDs stashed away somewhere.  Dig out those DVDs and exercise at least 3 times a week. This is all you have to do this week.

Everybody can do this.

You can do this.

One day – one step at a time.

One Juice at a time.

As your body cleanses, a sense of power and exuberance will come over you. Every morning will feel like a healthier and more energized than the day before.

Week One

Until next Monday, Week 3!

Have a fantastic week and keep up the good work

Introduction:

You will learn how to eliminate:

• sugar, fast food and candy
• breads, pastries, cakes
• TV and PC after 10pm
• eating after 8pm
• your coffee/caffeine habits

And you will also learn, how to add these important habits/supplements to your daily/weekly routine:

• weight training at least once a week
• take multi V’s
• take green food supplement
• take enzyme supplement
• 5 meals minimum (three main meals and two little snacks)
• more water intake
• juicing at least once a day
• incorporate cardio (cardiovascular exercise)

I know how this can seem like a lot to master, but if you take it one week at the time it’s going to be manageable.

The most important thing is not to be overwhelmed by the task at hand. Compare it with a scale – realizing that you have some 40 pounds to lose at once would terrify anybody! Isn’t that true? How many times did you put resolutions off, thinking that the task at hand is simply too overwhelming?

I’m going to break it down in manageable weekly tasks, which makes this plan “procrastination-proof”.

Every week you will learn a new habit and by the time you completed this easy to follow 8-week program, you will have developed healthy, skinny-jeans habits. Or wash board abs if you’re a guy.

Week 1 – Add More Water and Multi Vitamins

This week you will learn to program your system to accept more water and you will start taking multi V’s – Multi Vitamins. How much to drink and when is always the big question. Have a bottle of water at hand at every given time. I have multiple water bottles ready in almost every room in the house. You will find a bottle in the kitchen, one in the bedroom one in the office and for sure, you will find one in my car and bag.

Just after getting out of bed, drink a big glass of water. Room temperature is best. Try it with some fresh lemon juice. The lemon juice starts to alkalize your body and makes your bowels move.

Never drink with your meals because the water will dilute stomach juices and inhibit proper digestion. Enjoy a glass of water 30 minutes before your meal or 30 minutes after your meal. Drinking between meals and snacks is highly encouraged.

Hydrate also at work, leave the bottle as close to you as possible. Leave it by your phone and every time you check your emails or pings, drink some water.

until next week, keep up the great work!

What you will need:

• 1/2 Celeriac
• 1 Juicing Orange
• couple of tbsp of home made mayo (or bought)
• sea salt
• garlic salt to taste
• Optional add some diced pineapple

The easiest way to do this is with a food processor. If you don’t have one, I really encourage you to invest about $160 into a good quality food processor for quick lunches and last minute dinners.

Here we go. Clean the celeriac first. The fastest way is to cut the tough stuff off with the knife and switch to a peeler after that. It takes some practice to wrestle with the celeriac root, but it’s so worth it.

Prepare the dressing first. Take 2-3 tbsp of the mayo and mix it with the orange juice. Cut the celeriac into manageable pieces. Grate them in the food processor or by hand (I do not recommend this, too dangerous). Immediately mix the celeriac with the dressing and season to taste with some garlic salt and finish off with sea salt.

Serve this delicious salad as is or with fresh whole grain bread. This is also great for kids lunches and for afternoon snacks. I love this recipe with some grilled salmon fillet or with grilled chicken. Talking about low carbs!
