The Cleanse

About a month ago I found a "simple" cleanse on Pinterest.

This year alone, I've been having some stomach issues that have occurred once to twice a month and thought to maybe try a cleanse to get all the sickness out of my system.

I eat pretty well and I do not over eat so I was a little worried on the stomach problems I was having.

 

The cleanse was the Jillian Michael's Cleanse which consists of:

64 oz of water

1 teaspoon of sugar free cranberry juice

2 teaspoons of lemon juice

1 dandelion (detox) tea bag

 

This cleanse if for 7 days.

 

Now, when I say "simple" I mean the ingredients are simple and cheap.

Some of the cleanses I looked up can cost you over $100 for just a few days.

I will be honest, I wish I would have thought the cleanse through better and prepared my body because I went for the full 7 days but felt miserable!

 

You really do not realize how much your body and mind relies on food.

I felt sluggish and horrible.

But after 7 days, I felt weak but lost 5lbs of water weight.

Crazy!

The weight came back after 2 days but I was really hoping this would cleanse me and my stomach issues would be gone.

 

A month later, while we were in California, I got sick, again!

I think I've realized what is causing the pain.

Orange Juice.

 

Makes me sad because I love orange juice but it is not worth the pain.

 

Anyways, the point of this post is that doing a cleanse is a very tough thing but I am so proud of myself for doing it and completing it.

 

Love,
