Cleanse Update
So I foolishly started my cleanse on a Saturday, and I was fine with that, until it was time to leave the house that is. The fact that I hadn’t prepared with the three days of eating all whole and non-processed foods was the failing factor. My cravings were just to strong to beat with a simple cup of lemonade. I needed a Pear and a few Grapes to get me through.
So this weekend I started with the cleanse (two cups) but decided I needed to eat so instead I consumed raw fruits and veggies only, and on Monday I was better prepared for the initial “Hunger Pains”. Let me not scare you away from the cleanse, in actuality if you prepare the drink according to the directions there are no real hunger pains, I was satisfied meaning no roaring belly, I just really wanted something to chew
So now I’m on my third day and if it wasn’t for the before pictures I took I may have thrown in the entire towel, I really do need this cleanse it helped me last time when I focused more on the spiritual and whole body health benefits rather than the physical!
It helps that I’ve started meditation which is a whole other topic, considering I have a non-diagnosed case of Adult ADD.
In the meantime I’ve been enjoying watching the little ones purge my food and it’s been pretty fun and helpful, I had no idea how much they enjoyed food!
Lasagna Night
She pays no mind to what I was doing!

Licking the Frosting!
He was very meticulous about eating all the icing off.
- This is Elle when she realizes I’m taking pictures! Hey!
Gosh I love hearing about this fast. I had a friend who did it for 20 days!!!
Whoa Jocelyn, 20 days is impressive, although the further into the fast the easier it gets, those craving are just hard to kick in the beginning!
Cravings are tough to beat…but when you do, your life will change! Keep it up!!!
Thank for your kind words Zahra. I’m feeling better as time goes on, I know if I can get past a few more days they will be gone *fingers crossed*
