Hi from Lyndsay!

Hello everyone! I'm sorry to be joining in on everything so late, but i'm super excited about this . It sounds as though you're both off to a great first week of this adventure.

Patrick, I love that you're doing the glass of water first thing when you wake up, and I hope it helps. This is actually a small habit that I am trying to incorporate into my everydsy routine, and something simple we all could benefit from. When we're sleeping, our bodies go through a natural cleansing regimen, it just makes sense to wake up and facilitate the process by drinking 2 glasses of water before you put anything else in your body. It could be an easy way to help shed some pounds, and increase your energy in the morning. People who are on more extreme regimens, and are specifically working to lose weight, drink 2 liters first thing in the morning, and have seen drastic results just from this. Its worth a shot! Let me know if anyone else tries this out.

The other thing I have been wanting to share with all of you is that Fat Sick and Nearly Dead 2 is now on Netflix. Has anyone watched this yet? Jonathan and I are watching it now,  and I would urge all of us to watch it. Not to try and convince anyone of plunging into a juicing cleanse, because I don't necessarily believe that's the answer. Merely because it really focuses on the different experiences and journeys of people that are just trying to make healthier changes in their everyday lives. Its kind of interesting to hear the different, very real struggles that people are facing, along with success stories. It seems very relatable, and really acknowledges the mental contribution to why we maintain some of the poor habits that we do. I think it would be an inspiring thing for all of us to watch, and perfectly in conjunction with this whole support group that we are building :) Let me know if any of you get the chance!
