A sense of relief has swept over me and a weight has been lifted off my shoulders! I feel wonderful and although I was hungry and excited to get out of this thing, I’m so proud of myself for all that I’ve accomplished.
I’ve talked to so many people about this cleanse, and I think that it helps to have knowledge and be willing to share with those who want to listen. I read another blog that gave a warning to all those who are trying. It said to get rid of all edible food besides the ingredients for the lemonade in your house. And if you have roommates, to tell them to eat out of the ‘cleansee’s’ sight for the duration of the cleanse. First off, I think that is horribly wrong, and second off, it’s completely doable if you just go about your life like you always do! I even enjoyed watching other people eat (…creepy?) and I liked smelling what my roommates were cooking. It made me remember that this is for a greater purpose and that soon I’d be able to make my own great-smelling meals for my own enjoyment. I also had a changed attitude about holiday treats and that elucid ‘weight gain’ that everyone feels around the holidays. It’s because we don’t think! Treats at the office? Might as well try them! You’re decorating Christmas sugar cookies? A little extra icing won’t hurt! But, every time I saw someone else put a brownie in their mouth, a little satisfied grin occupied my face – just knowing that I have a choice, and I choose to be healthy. Not that I hadn’t chosen that path before, or that it’s necessarily a ‘new’ concept… but, I think a lot of times people eat without thinking because it just sounds so good! It’s nice to indulge, but it’s more satisfying to feel good about yourself and be confident.
Over the ten day Cleanse, I’d like to announce that I lost approximately 11 pounds! Now, you will gain a lot of that back with how your body retains water, though I am very happy with the results. The rest of this week will be easing my body back into normal eating, and I’ll be keeping it fresh with all the details post-cleanse as well. My journey is far from over, and I’m excited for the results to come!
