The Cleanse - Day 4

As I mentioned in my previous post, I woke up on Day 4 with an Advil PM hangover - BUT there were no traces of pain left in my legs.  I was so grateful.  Cory and I were just guessing that it must be the toxins building up in certain areas that I usually have difficulty with.  While working with a natural pathic doctor when we once lived in San Angelo, TX.  He put folks on cleansing diets that cleaned their blood & used CatsClaw and they experienced this quite often as they were detoxing.  Not fun, but sadly it is something that I have to experience as part of the cleansing.

Had many errands to run today and so by my juicing so much last night enabled me to stay on the cleansing diet and manage to get everything done.  I didn't; however, take extra juice to my daughter's out of town game like I thought that I would.  My day just got away from me but I did manage to bring some for both my husband and I to drink on the way to her game which helped tie ME over til we got home 3 almost 4 hours later, Cory not so much :)

When I got home I drank another glass of juice and darted off to get a few items that we had run out of.  Who in their right mind would spend $18 on pears?  On this day, that would be me!  Why did we start this juicing when fruits are out of season and so expensive?  Oh, well, it is our favorite juice and it is so much better than going and buying fast food.  I seriously believe and feel that way.  I am actually looking forward to drinking the juice and the feelings I get from it.  I not only feel full but I feel very energetic.  And to boot, at night time I feel tired and ready for bed, instead of tired but my mind and body are racing and I end up not being able to go to sleep for hours.  

I have to say that I ONLY SNEEZED TWICE, MAYBE THRICE :) TODAY!!!  I was so excited.  Was it because of the cleansing? I would like to think so.  We will see how another day goes.  Yes, that means that I will venture on to yet another day of full juicing and no actual eating of food. 

I didn't add any new juices on Day 4.  I just alternated the same kind that I have from Day 1 - 3.  Cory and I did make up a big batch of Almond milk and I must say that we make a pretty good team.  We are figuring out better means of straining it and that helped so much.  The first time we made it, we joked that the little chunks were good because it was like eating food almost.  Well, that got not so good quickly.  Yuck!

Day 4 Recap - Lost 1 lb.(I always weigh myself in the mornings around 9 each morning)  I had a very busy and active day and still managed to get my juicing in and had a lot of energy.  Allergies were almost non-existing - Yea!!!  Still anxious to keep on going with the juicing cleanse.
