Thanks Tinacristina!
I am happy you made it to day 14, that is 2 whole weeks!!! Your stomach may be cramping because of the tea or maybe not enough water. I hope you feel better today. I have seen those EmergC packets. Thank you for suggesting. I wish you luck too!
Hey Poofiepoofievern. Yes, the high in B12 was really weird
because I always thought Iron & B12 were related but my Iron is a little low so that was ironic to me. Before I started cleansing, my Mother sent me liquid vitamin 12 that you hold under your tongue for 30 seconds. I used to use the drops before a strenuous work out or weight lifting and they worked well. Perhaps some of that stayed in my system. I think 20 days is good and those OJ and veggies will be a nice way to ease off of the cleanse.
I miss the gym too so I understand you, especially weights because to me, your body can only look nice with a little muscle tone. A muscle pump class sounds fun! Glad your stomach is flat
lucky duck. I still have a slight pooch which my husband thinks is cute but I hate it
! lol
. Yay for your cellulite going away, I hate cellulite!
Sweedish fish sounds good. I have never eaten it. I am just happy it did not make you sick. Blueberries sounds so good
. I am like you and now craving healthy stuff. During the beginning of the cleanse I was having odd cravings for junk but now I just want to sink my teeth into some spinach, tomatoes, flax crackers and hummus. I am so thankful I did this cleanse because it has really changed my perceptions on food. I will listen to my body this time instead of letting my mind rule the show.
Anyway Poofie, thank you for the good luck and by the way, I love your nickname on the board. Poofie Poofie sounds cute!! lol.
Day 35 and 36 Status
Yesterday I must have been out of my mind by hosting a dinner party for our friends
. I was working so hard and felt fine b/c I had a bunch of LA to keep my energy level high. It turned out to be easier to serve each course to everyone because I didn't have to eat myself. Also, I was able to clean the kitchen along the way and everything was organized just how I like it. I had time to serve each course, garnish the plates & mix the drinks with the hubbies help. My husband blabbed that I have been on this cleanse and next week will be 40 days. I promise you people almost dropped their drinks. They were amazed that anyone could even think of doing that...lol. In any case it all went well because they loved the food. I love to entertain and haven't been able to during the cleanse so it was a very fun night for me....UNTIL....
But, when they left, and I had a chance to relax,
I felt soooooo sore. It hit me like a
BIG HEAVY BRICK :shock:
. My back hurt, body aches, I felt nauseated, feverish and just icky, which is why I didn't post yesterday. I realize that it must have been just toxins being released. This morning I woke up, did a SWF and now I feel much better. My muscles are no longer sore and I got a nice long sleep. I also took a recommendation and added olive oil and a natural bubble bath and took a nice relaxing bath while listening to Sade. My skin now feels so silky smooth and I rubbed a little olive oil on my lips so they are now perfectly soft. A girl suggested that to me on this post so thank you so much, great advice!!!
Anyway, wish you all the best. For those having to sit through Labor Day week-end festivities filled with food, smells and alcohol, stay strong. Remember your mind might want a big juice steak but your body might reject it and you want to stay healthy!!
