Two Chicks And A Juicer


Fridge full for Juicing!

It's about to be Spring! People this time of year often deep clean their houses, but this Spring Tiffany and I are deep cleaning our intestines.
 I don't know how many times I some how manage to stay up until that hour of the night that only allows for infomercial T.V, and I am constantly sucked into Jack LeLane and his freaking Power Juicer. The girl on the show claims to have just had twins, and while she doesn't look that good she attributes all her figure to THE Power Juicer. The fact that you can put a WHOLE apple into the juicing canal( I don't know if it's called a canal, but you get the right picture in your head) gets my attention every time. You don't have to peel it, or get the seeds out? The truth is juicing is a very healthy practice to maintain. Our bodies are wanting the nutrients and vitamins from fresh fruits and veggies, but who has the time to eat all of them? I can barely get out of the door, in the morning, in time for work with my make-up on.
My name is Amanda, and I recently moved in with my close friends Lonnie and Tiffany in beautiful Bend, Oregon. Lonnie is about the cutest little rock star you can imagine with a grammy under his belt, and most contagious laugh you have ever heard. Tiffany my gorgeous personal training, hair cutting, life loving friend is going to do these challenges for this blog with me. This week (starting today) her and I are going on a juicing challenge.
For an entire week we are going to have nothing but juice for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. We are going to blog about how we are feeling, looking, hating life, and everything along the way. For the next year, every month, my room mate Tiffany and I are going to do a week long challenge and blog about it. Stay tuned for some interesting posts!
My name is Tiffany. I live in gorgeous, healthy Bend, Oregon. I'm a hairstylist and a personal trainer. I love working out (That's actually an understatement) I live to workout. Along with that I love to eat healthy. It's not always easy living in Bend. We are known for our breweries and amazing eateries. What makes Bend even better is living here with my amazing husband, Lonnie James Chapin. He is handsome, talented, hilarious, and inspiring. About a year and a half ago we met the most special person, Amanda. There's alot to like about this little red head. My most favorite attribute about her is her passion for healthy eating. She's full of knowledge. We both want to be challenged and try new things. So, we're doing it together. One week, each month we're stepping out of our comfort zones and taking on a challenge.
First up, a juice detox. O BOY. These little foodies are in for a long seven days. I can do anything for seven days, right???
We would love anyone to join us! The more the merrier! We can all do it together. Start commenting about your juicing experience this week!
