Did I really say tomorrow?
and the next two weeks. I have been out of order here for a minute. Of course I’ve had a lot going on. I got my one way ticket to Italy and now I’m in a hussle to get the rest of everything done before I head out. Nevertheless, I am hanging onto my workouts. Diet is good and fresh.
Can I be honest ya’ll? Now I don’t want a whole rack of people hitting me up to tell me how unhealthy it was to do this…but…. I did holler at the master cleanse for seven days when i got back from Cali. A friend of mine was trying it and the madness hit me at the exact right moment. I typically do not believe in cleanses or fasts or fads. I’m the type of chick who could never imagine herself going w/o food for even a day. I did it for 7 and even though I’m still not a fan of doing cleanses or using weird (yeah, i said it) methods of the sort; (I’m a simple gal who truly does believe in plain ol exercise and eating right) I have to admit the cleanse changed my life.
Yep, the cleanse changed my life. I had a real unhealthy relationship with food ya’ll. As I stated before I didn’t think i could go a day without food. I didn’t think that a person should go a day without food. Doing the cleanse helped me to realize that I was still functioning and feeling good without being so focused on the next thing I was going to eat. It wasn’t hard. It didn’t hurt. I wasn’t deprived. I wasn’t longing for food.
Since the cleanse i truly haven’t been worried about what I am eating and I have to say the weight is still coming off. I eat a lot of fresh veggies and fruit and keep it moving (and some meat;not as much as before and not the same kinds). I’m getting a load more fiber. I been eating beans and legumes and it’s all good. I’m satisfied on less. I am conscious of what and when and how much I’m eating without thinking so hard about it. I’m not obsessed (like I was before). I haven’t binged or overate one time since the cleanse and I know it’s because my mind is changed about food.
Whomp, there it is! This is my confession…..:-)

Hey girlfriend!! Congrats on the change!! A cleanse here and there is not bad. It gives you a chance to start all over, fueling your body with the right things when you are finished with it. My brother, who is in great shape…does cleanses once a year. He lifts weights, so he does it only for 3 days so that he doesn’t lose too much muscle. It does him a load of good. It refocuses and rejuvenates him. I must confess, i obsess about food…but now, it is more making sure my food is clean and I am eating at the right times. I still like to blow things on my cheat day…it keeps me sane. I am proud of you and keep chipping away pretty lady!

I did a cleanse the week before joining this site and I feel it is something that helps you focus on your body. Giving the body a break from everything, especially to create change is always a good thing! I usually do a cleanse twice a year for G.P.
I’m glad it did you some good!!
