Day 11

Ok, here's the low down on stats:

I've found 2 of the 6 lbs I released, so in all - a 4 lb release.  Which I am happy about because I don't think the cleanse is meant to make you lose weight, it's just a great side effect!

So now I am on to the rest of my life.  I just finished sucking down a Mandarin Orange Spark + My fiber drink.  I can't imagine starting my day any differently because it truly wakes me up, fills me up & gives me great energy!  I get the biggest kick out of sustainable, all day energy.  I sound like an infomercial....LOL!  But the one thing that helps get me through my day is knowing I have found something that works.  Such a crazy, long journey, but it's worth it!

I tend to try to make things harder than they need to be, so I am trying to just absorb & observe what is best for me.  Today is print out Paleo Recipes day!!!!  Here are a couple of rockin' websites I've found:

Nom Nom Paleo
The Civilized Caveman
PaleOMG - I have to say I really enjoy her style of writing & her wit!

I will be stalking these websites like there is no tomorrow.  Anyway, cheers to all things awesome!

Last Day of the Cleanse!!!

Woohoo!!!  Ok, so it's finally over & I completed it.  I am proud of myself.  I'll weigh in tomorrow morning & see what the final lb loss is.  I definitely feel better with better energy.  I don't know if it's the energy drink I'm drinking or if it's just overall good energy.  I will tell you that I had a piece of bread today & got the worst headache.  NO more...for a while.  Blech...

One of the things I noticed is that for the first few days of the cleanse, I had a really weird taste in my mouth.  Almost bitter.  Probably toxins leaving my body.  BUT, the good news is that I don't really crave too many of the bad things anymore.  Which actually says a lot since this week I am in the throes of PMS!  Usually I want to eat everything under the sun, but not lately.  I am sure it has to do with the fiber drink I am drinking. 

Let's see....one side effect is it's hard for me to go to sleep, so I have literally slept til 10 am almost every day since I started the cleanse.  I'm ok with that & luckily I am fortunate enough to not have to be anywhere.  So yeah, my days start around 10 am. 

Overall - a good experience!  I've got a cleanse under my belt & now on to Phase II.  Which is probably paleo eating.  Still researching & figuring things out!  But, I am going to go for a one month healthy eating goal & see where I stand the second week of July.  Hopefully, it'll be one Huge leap in progress, but I'll settle for positive progress. 

Til the next time something strikes me as interesting.  Peace out & within!

Herbal Cleanse - Day 8

Remember when you were in school & it was your last class of the day & all you did was sit there & wait for 3:25 pm to hit so you could get the hell out of school?  Take that feeling & that's how I feel about this cleanse.  I am proud & happy to finish it, but DAYUM a girl has lost patience.  I think I must have some form of ADD, because I am ready to not be cleansing.

Anyway, this morning I am back on the fiber drink & I LOVE it.  I am going to purchase those because it really fills me up & gives me a great start to my day.  Really that's about it.  Same story, rinse & repeat.  Today I've had spark, fiber drink, water & chicken.  That's it folks.  TWO MORE DAYS & I AM FREE!!!

I may pause on the blogging too.  Talking about myself every day is a bit boring to me.  I may pick it up once  a week.  We'll see...

Love you all!!1
