The Cleanse - Day 6

I had an incredible nights sleep after such a yucky Day 5.  I woke up feeling good and started on my blogging first thing because I had to catch up.  My nose ran and ran and ran.  I could hardly catch it that morning.  No sneezing just running.

Wasn't sure if I was going to only drink juice or not today.  But I knew I was going to continue to drink juice each day for breakfast through at least lunch each day for a while still.  I was planning on listening to what my body is telling me.   I drank juice most of the day but I added in a snack of celery sticks & peanut butter.  I went out on a limb and had three celery sticks instead of two like yesterday :)  I juiced some more and then for supper I ate a small bowl of mixed spring lettuce, a few craisons, few pieces of grilled chicken with a very light drizzle of Fat-Free Raspberry Vinaigrette.  Oh, my goodness, heaven in my mouth.  The only side effect to this was I couldn't go to sleep that night til 3 in the morning.  Loooong night yet I was thankful I was up due to the fact that a young man from a previous children's home was texting me then called.  That was a very good surprise and I was so glad I was available to talk to him. I might really pay for it on Day 7 so we will see.

Recap of Day 6:  Lost .4 lb again.  I had fairly good energy all through the day.  Nothing terribly exciting today.  I am wanting to start incorporating exercise this next week.  I didn't do it this week mainly because I wasn't sure how my body would do with juicing and I didn't need the added stress of throwing that on top of it all.  I didn't want to set myself up to fail.  Little by little, day by day. Made up my own juices today.  Added sweet potato & pineapple.  Left me feeling hungry quickly.  Probably was due to the pineapple helping aid in digestion and felt hungry quickly.  I will be sure to make a more hearty juice that will stick with us longer.  That is important.

I won't being making daily blogs because really the "cleansing" part is over.  I will, however, continue for at least another week of mainly juicing and eating of mainly fruits and vegetables with a little kick added at times.  I want to slowly get my body back into eating more foods that are healthier in choice.  I will write an update later in the week I suppose.  I would call this cleansing a success.  I didn't cheat and I didn't die from it :)  My body is feeling SO much better.  I want to continue and just add to the great feelings that I am having.
