So, I ended my cleanse 2 days early because I’m going out with some girlfriends tonight and I want to at least eat a salad.

All went well with it. I haven’t had any cravings for junk… physically that is. Mentally I drool over biscotti or chocolate or whatever junk that was around me at the office. I’ve been eating predominately raw and will continue to do so until this weekend. Next week I plan to start the Body for Life challenge. Not sure if I am going to send my photos in yet. I’m really excited about that. I’ve been looking for recipes and figuring out what my workout schedule will be. I also stopped nursing. I’m excited yet sad. Excited that I will now start (at least I hope I will) losing the fat that I’ve been hanging onto due to it and sad that I won’t have the bond time anymore with my girl. I know, I know, I can still "bond" with her, but its not quite the same. But it was time. I’m looking forward to the next month to see how my body transforms.

Stats of the cleanse: lost 8 lbs, total of 10 inches all over, mostly in the waist and chest. Since I am eating raw, I will probably lose a couple more pounds, but will most likely gain some of it back when I start to eat meat/poultry regularly. The cleanse has really prepared me to take on this next challenge.

That’s it for now. You all have a great day.

Ok - not sure if anyone has heard of this or seen it on the tv, it’s the master cleanse. It is basically a lemonade fast. It’s detox cleanse that last 10 days. This is my third time doing it. Let me state that you should only do this cleanse for that reason, to cleanse, clean the pipes, detoxify. Weight loss is just a perk. It gets you off the junk and gives you the opportunity to start eating clean again. My first cleanse I lost 10 lbs. Normally you expect to gain around half of it back. Because I kept my diet clean, I kept losing. My second cleanse I lost 7 lbs. but stopped early because I found out I was pregnant. So here I am, doing it again. I’m on day 2. Surprised to say that I’ve lost 2.5 lbs and over in inch in the waist already. I know that its only water weight right now, but still! Sad to say that my starting stats are the same as last years at this time. The big difference is that I was 5 months pregnant! (I was rather small this pregnancy compared to my previous two and I was still working out, but still) These holidays really did a number on me, so this cleanse will get me off the junk. That is my main reason for doing this. The cleanse also gives you more energy, clear head and a clean colon

I will explain more in my next post. Have a great day all. Enjoy the food you eat!
