Don't get me wrong. I think a cleanse is a great idea and I wholeheartedly believe in them. What I don't like is the fact that minus the black walnut hull tincture and wormwood pills (don't ask!) I basically did a cleanse while pregnant. I've just started to get my freedom back in that area and I LOATHE giving it up again.
In a proper cleanse, there is no caffeine, no alcohol, no sugar (natural sugars are fine), no smoking (if you smoke), and tons and tons of water. I don't have a problem with giving up sweets. Luckily I've never really had a sweet tooth. Except when I was pregnant. The alcohol thing...well, yes, I'd like a glass of wine or a cold beer, but realistically, it's not that big of deal for me to give it up for three weeks. Drinking tons of water? No problem! The one that is absolutely 100% killing me is the no caffeine. Without my morning coffee I wander around the house forgetting what I'm doing and bumping into things. Not to mention how cranky I am.
At this point I don't even care if I've lost any weight or not. I just want my coffee! I did weigh myself at the start of the cleanse (ouch!) so I have my starting weight. I was going to weigh myself once a week, but I think I'm going to skip it this week as I would be incredibly disappointed if I hadn't lost anything. Each Friday I'll weigh myself, so hopefully next week I'll see some changes.
Since I'm on the food and diet topic, looks like there's another bread lover in the family!
