So I woke up at around 9:45 this morning. My guess is because my husband went back to work finally! He's been on break since right before Christmas.
Today I start my 10 day cleanse. Here are the instructions as follows:
Eliminate all:
-Refined sugars-anything with added sucrose, high fructose corn syrup, or alcohol(cakes, cookies, candies, pastries, beer, winde, liquor)
-Caffeinated drinnks (sodas, coffee, tea)
-Artificial colorings, flavorings, and sweeteners (packaged & processed foods)
-Flesh foods (beef, pork, lamb, poultry, fish, wild game)
So I haven't eaten at all today! lol! I will probably eat some scrambled eggs & then fill my snacks with fruits. Not sure yet-I'll keep ya posted!!!
Update #1 1:01 pm: I have already broken a spatula that fell out of the drawer because it annoyed me. OMG. Lack of caffeine & sugar apparently releases my rage monkey. I have forewarned my husband & he said he will be in Afghanistan for the next 9 days...Oh & I am seriously congested right now too.
Update #2 8:44 pm: Ok, slept for a while & my husband told me that i need to eat more. No honey, it's lack of stimulants! but as sweet as he is, he ran out to the store after he got off work & got me some cool stuff all on his own - coconut water (it's prepackaged but all natural-i haven't tasted it yet), carbonated water, limes & fresh berries (these are for the soft drinks i miss), vegetable broth & some awesome veggie chips. Really right now my energy is low & i am getting a bit of a head ache. BUT, once my head hits the pillow, one day down & 9 to go. Wish me luck!!!
Sounds like you need to be doing some cooking from scratch! :)
ReplyDeleteCan you do sucanat? It's not a refined sugar... just evaporated cane sugar. What about agave or honey? Just curious... this is very interesting. :)
You need to eat, girl!! Grab some nuts at least! I look forward to hearing what you eat and how this goes. I've been thinking of doing a cleanse myself, but really just don't know where to start. More research to do, I suppose!
Hope you have a great day!
Thanks Becky! This cleanse is dr. ordered & it's called UltraClear Plus. I have some supplements to take, but that starts day 2. So far I have eaten a bowl of homemade veggie soup, a pear & organic pinto beans & brown rice.
ReplyDeleteNot sure about agave. I do have some at home...
Sucanat is your friend! Believe me (and Becky) on this one.
ReplyDeleteGood luck girl friend and give my regards to your rage monkey! lol
lol! Sucanat it is...I have spanked my rage monkey for you Tex :)
