Cleansing

I have decided to go through the same process a number of our patients have been recommended to pursue- the dreaded and mythological 10 Day cleanse. It should be interesting because I LOVE food!! More than any health benefits I will gain, I look forward to trying my self discipline and will power to finish the entire process. Health wise, it will flush my system of built up toxins and help reset my metabolism- all in hopes I will have a fantastic 2 week vacation in the Bahamas.

Last night I officially began my cleanse, drinking my Smooth Move tea in preparation for the following day. I got up a little earlier than usual this morning to prepare my special Lemonade (aka my sustenance for the next few days). Nothing like a 32 oz salt water flush followed by nothing to eat all day- just spring water spiked with maple syrup, fresh squeezed lemon juice and cayenne pepper. Try hard not to be jealous of me!

So far, so good although I am starting to have some hunger pains (not as bad as I expected though). I just need to make sure I can find a bathroom quickly since I have been releasing a lot of water and toxins if you know what I mean. It's like one of those commercials, "gotta go gotta go gotta go gotta go RIGHT NOW!" It brings a whole new meaning to the phrase, "Go like a racehorse!"

Tune in tomorrow to see if I made it through the day, and most importantly by aerobic dance class this evening without any slip ups or accidents!
