The Cleanse

I know it's been awhile. I'm really needing to get back on this everyday. But anyway, on Monday I started a ten day cleanse. My dad and step-mom introduced me to this. They did this cleanse over the summer and it really worked for them. The thing that I like about this cleanse is that the cleanse part of this is the pills we take and other than that it teaches you to eat clean and healthy foods. And that you can live without a lot of the junk we think we have to have. I can basically eat any fruits, vegetables, lean meats, plain nuts, and brown rice I would like. I just have to eat them without any added salts and sugars. So it's teaching me how to cook in a more healthy way. Plus it cuts back proportions and has been teaching me to eat little and healthy snacks throughout the day.
I am currently on day 5 of the cleanse and when I weighed myself yesterday morning I had already lost 4 pounds. Besides this I am pleased to say I haven't been super hungry, just dealing with the cravings of bad food and caffeine. I haven't had coffee or an energy drink since Sunday. That is probably the roughest part for me because I've lived off of those for the last four years...it's how I got through college! But ultimately I think this taking away caffeine is good for me.
So tomorrow I'm going to write a breakdown of all of the foods I've eaten so far on the cleanse. I'm hoping that I will continue to lose weight but even if I don't I know that this is all good for me. It's hard but good for me. So here's to the rest of my time on this cleanse! I'm feeling optimistic about it!
