Day 10

I woke up this morning feeling like I could go another 10 days easy.

I made it. I did it. I can't believe it.

Today was a great day. Although I m looking forward to eating again, I think I could actually continue beyond tomorrow.

I think I will make it my goal to cleanse once every 6 months. Next time I will try for 14 days.

I came home from work today after working yet another 13 hour day, cooked a fabulous meal. Parmesan crusted chicken breast with chicken and rosemary stuffed buitoni pasta with garlic alfredo sauce.

Man it looked great! However, I was cool. I can't lie though, I am one week away from a nice fat Ruben sandwich.

Day 9

Good Morning,

Yet another day, waking up feeling absolutely great. Only one more full day to go.

Last night, my husband wanted to have a fish fry, so we did. Although it looked and smelled so good. I wasn't really hungry at all.  I think at this point the cleanse is more of a mental thing than anything. I am not physically hungry, but more so mentally.

Day 8 Continued....

Overall today was a good day. I wasn't hungry, but I am looking forward to eating.

Day 8

Good Morning, 

The countdown is in full swing now. Only 2 more days to go. Not that I can pig out, but the mere thought of being able to eat again, makes my mouth water.

Today I woke up feeling great. I got to work this morning, and someone told me my skin looks brighter.
So, I guess the cleanse is doing it's job.  As crazy as it sounds, I think the next time I cleanse; I'll do it for 14 days.

I went grocery shopping yesterday, which I absolutely love to do. I love to cook and shopping for new things to cook, is so much fun  lol.  It was bitter sweet. I bought so many new things to try and cook, because I am looking forward to eating. Although I can't indulge in it now, it will be fun to see my families reaction to the new dinner menu items.

One of the reviews I read prior to beginning the cleans, recommended, that I take all food out of my house. eliminating the temptation to break the cleanse. Not only did I not take all food from my house. I wnet and bought more food. My cabinets are stocked to the brim, including the kids junk food pantry.

I personally believe,  it comes down to self control.

Day 7

Yesterday didn't end too great. As a result of my headache, I ended up throwing up. Which sucked because there was nothing but water in my system. My husband got mad at me because I was sick, and couldn't see the point in a cleanse/ diet that caused me to be sick. Needless to say the weekend wasn't going so good. I think this day, was by far the worst.

Sitting on the couch with a blanket over my head, trying to mask the smell of the wonderful Wing Stop my husband and kids were eating. I was so tempted to have a French fry, or even a celery stick. I had to be strong.


Today I woke up feeling about the same. Headache still looming, slightly irritated because the clock says 5:55am. Better yet, pissed because I'm up so early on a Sunday morning. I try my best to fall back to sleep, but this damn headache wont go away. Eventually it happened.

I got up at 9:30 feeling a little better, headache only slightly there. Enough to where I could ignore it. I decided to get on the scale, so I could make sense of why I was putting myself through discomfort for this cleanse. I've lost 8 pounds. Yaaaaaay! Three more days today.....

Day 6

Today I woke up feeling great, the day started out fine. I was full of energy, feeling good about myself. Somehow I had managed to make it 6 whole days without breaking...

As the day progressed, my head started hurting, my stomach was in knots. It felt almost as if, it was eating itself from the inside. I was feeling so bad, my husband and son, asked me "why I was doing this to myself"?

More than just to detoxify my body, rid it of unwanted toxins, and to drop a few pounds along the way (hopefully) closer to 10).... But at this point I am determined to complete this. To show myself I have self control. I decided to lay it down and take a nap, hoping that when I woke up, I would feel better. Nope! It didn't happen... I woke up with the same headache I feel asleep with.

So now as I type, head still pounding, sucking on my spicy lemonade. I count down the days. This cleanse definitely isn't for everyone. However, I am sure my body will thank me for it.

Stay tuned.....
