Cleansing With Your Husband

Cleansing with your husband…. hmmm so what is that all about? And why would anyone want to do that?

My husband and I had a trip booked to go to Punta Cana with my awesome company and being that the company is filled with fitness coaches, I wanted to get rid of any excess bloat and bad decisions from the past couple of weekends.

So, when I brought up the idea of doing this 3 day cleanse to my husband, he jumped on board! The fact alone that he was supportive and wanted to do it with me was enough for me to jump in without looking back.

Let’s face it, sticking to a strict meal plan is NOT easy. There are a ton of temptations. BUT, when you have your spouse with you for the ride, it makes life a lot easier and makes those kid’s chicken nuggets a lot less tempting….

Planning for the refresh!

How did we do it?

In the morning, I prepped our meals for the day. Being prepared and having the food ready and available makes it a lot easier. For dinner, I made a moroccan carrot salad. (To be totally honest, my husband was NOT a fan. He did not like a plethora of flavors. I, however, I loved it. My husband is a plain vegetables kinda guy…. and by plain I mean he tolerates them and would rather not have them.)

Carrot Salad

What could we eat?

The program came with protein shakes, a nutrient dense shake and a fiber sweep drink. In between that, we had a lot of fruits and vegetables and a big plentiful vegetable dinner. It is actually more food than you would think. And it proves that just by eating healthy, you can lose weight.

Did we workout?

Yes. The program suggests that you do not workout and really get the most out of your cleanse. BUT, going on this trip, we decided to do some light exercises to keep our bodies moving.

Were we HANGRY?

So “hangriness” is a real thing. I was never hungry – I just craved foods. Because I was limited to what I could eat, I wanted to snack on different things. I think knowing that you CANT have something, makes you want it more. But that is ok, because after day 3, you don’t crave things anymore. You feel good and if you can do this for 3 days you can do anything!

What were the results?

My husband lost 3.4 lbs and I lost 4. 2. I have done the program a couple times and this was the most I have lost. I think having a buddy doing it with me really helped! ALSO, my team hosted a 3 day support group for anyone doing it with us! The groups are really where the results come in. Having someone tell you that you CAN do it and keeping you accountable is where you push yourself!

Can you do this too?

ABSOLUTELY! Anyone can. I actually recommend it for anyone who wants to jumpstart their fitness and nutrition, anyone who had a bad couple of days and wants a refresh or anyone who just want to get back to healthy eating. I literally feel “refreshed after.

What happens after the refresh?

Good question!!!! You stay on track! You can’t go right back to eating crap. You can go back to eating more protein but you want to start light. You can definitely keep the weight off if you practice eating in moderation. PLUS, the groups I run continue for as long as you want.

How can you join in?

You can fill out my form below and comment that you want to do the refresh! I can get you into my next group and we can do it together! I will share my favorite recipes and get you with other people who are doing it too!

Year 16 and we are putting the whole “for richer Year 16 and we are putting the whole “for richer or poorer, in sickness and health” to the test. 😳

Between hospital bills and almost 2 weeks in the hospital - we have reached the sicker and poorer side of our marriage 🫤

But we have also stayed madly in love throughout every adventure and moment… and this won’t be any different. 🥰

To the guy I married when I was 20 years old and everyone said it was crazy…. 

You are the best part of my life 💕

Here’s to another 16…. 🥂 
More health & more richer 😉😆

HE IS HOME!!! 🙌🏼🥰💕🎉 My favorite pe HE IS HOME!!! 🙌🏼🥰💕🎉

My favorite person in the entire world is home after a long 12 days in the hospital!!!!!!

12 days is the LONGEST we have ever not snuggled together….
The LONGEST the kids haven’t had daddy home…

For 10 of those days, we didn’t have a full conversation.. which is also the longest time we have gone without talking 😪

He still has pancreatitis and will need gallbladder surgery in the near future….
But for now, he can heal at home with his family! 💕

We are so grateful for all of the love, prayers, visits, meals, kid pickups and every bit of incredible support. 

For most of the time he was gone, I cried every morning and every night before and after I was with him. 
I am so very grateful for every person that offered any help because it meant soooo much and mentally I needed it!!!

We are soooooooooooo grateful as a family for ALL OF YOU!! 💕

Every person who helped and prayed and supported us was absolutely apart if his healing.

We are snuggling him extra now and taking every bit of time we have with him!!!

XOXOX, 
The Doran’s

This is not the Mothers Day I would have picked… This is not the Mothers Day I would have picked… 

But I would pick these kids, this family and this moment of pride for my boy over and over again. 

Just being together matters. 

Just raising good humans matters. 

If my Mothers Day gift this year was this reminder that my kids are growing into great people.. that’s enough 💕

I don’t know if it’s a sign… But I do know t I don’t know if it’s a sign…
But I do know there is power in prayer…
I do know there aren’t any coincidences…
I do know that these doves weren’t not just flying by and found a place to land… 
They had to come from up above and swoop down into this courtyard.

Tonight will officially mark the most amount of ni Tonight will officially mark the most amount of nights we haven’t slept together in 17 years… 😢

The hardest part of today was him being out of it so much and sleeping that he was talking in his sleep to the kids. 😪

The second hardest was feeding him and seeing him be the most weak he has ever been. 

The third hardest was leaving him… 

I walk away and leave it to God and the nurses to take care of him while I’m gone.

And go home and put a smile on my face when I’m home with the kids…

And pray that when I come back, he has GRANDPA JOE’d himself out of this bed and I can take him home 🥰
Our favorite person in the house went to the ER wi Our favorite person in the house went to the ER with chest pains (holy scare) —
And it turned out to be the gallbladder. 😬

After alot of scans and tests, it looks like our guy is going to spend some days in the hospital and set to have surgery soon. 😢

My husband is the ROCK of this whole family. 
Everyone else (including me) are just mini hurricanes in this life and he is the rock that stays still and holds us all together. 

For a second, I thought I would just stay silent on here. If it wasn’t fitness, podcasts or inspiration, maybe I’ll just keep quiet. 

But - I have opened up alot about my life… 
And I don’t want you to follow me or my family and think everything is rainbows and butterflies.

I don’t want people who go through illness or hard times to think they are alone in that. I want to continue to show you that there are hard times, scary times and not every day is a party… but we move forward. 

We draw strength from eachother as a family, we draw strength from the friends that have been placed in our lives and we draw strength from God. 

I will continue to be open about our family in hopes to inspire you, to be here for you if YOU need someone and to show you that we’re all human and all have struggles. 

We are patiently waiting for surgery…
we were all set to go yesterday but his pancreas levels were bad so they canceled it.

Today, we are waiting for blood work to give us the all clear for surgery and hope his pain goes away. 

The kids have never seen daddy like this so it’s hard watching them cry everytime they think of him or see him, while trying to hold it in at the same time. 😪

Last night, the kids and I prayed..
We prayed for daddy’s pain, we prayed for the surgeons hands, for the nurses who are taking care of him, for the doctors, and for our friends who have been so thoughtful.

Thank you everyone for your continued prayers, love and support! 💕

He then gave her back the dog treat and said to give it to the dog. 

All. The. Feels. 💕

Would love to blow up his kindness 💕
