Aye---today was nuts.
But, thankfully, nothing with the cleanse was nuts.
This Suja cleanse has been by far the easiest, yummiest, most fool proof cleanse I've ever done. And I feel so good!
Just my life is nuts.
It was Zuri's first day of her new Preschool where she is the ONLY girl in class...haha. She ended up loving it, but we were late getting there [it starts at the butt crack of dawn...ewe] and I didn't know my way around that part of town, so, I ended up staying for 3 hours trying to entertain a 15 month old cray cray bay bay in a onsie.
Not my smartest mom moment.
From there, things just got crazier....I sometimes feel like my kids have secret meetings where they plan on ganging up on me simultaneously.
Anyways, they're all tucked away in bed happy and healthy, so I'm good now.
-----But, back to the cleanse-----
The weirdest part of the whole cleanse so far is that I haven't been hungry, hungry like I've been anticipating.
Seriously!
We [Annie, Cody, Lauryn, Sam, and Casey] have been group texting all day long and most of us had all said the same thing---we're not that hungry.
Wha!?!?
I've felt hungrier on days when I've had a light lunch and its time for dinner.
For real...Scouts honor.
I feel like this is due to the fact that your bodies are getting all the nutrients they need from the pressed juice throughout the day---there's no reason for your stomachs to send the typical 'I'm Starving!' messages to your brain when all you've had to eat all day was fluids.
Makes sense, right?
Another cool thing I noticed was that at around 4pm I realized I was thinking very clearly....This is so hard to explain..its like my thoughts were just crystal clear. I felt like I was even seeing clearer!
And my body felt so light and energetic, too.
Its kinda like the feeling when you don't have coffee or caffeine in a really long time, then introduce it back into your system and you get an intense and instant burst of energy and alertness?
Well, I feel like I had a slow burning energy and alertness that I have never had before. A kind that came on slowly but lasted all day long.
It's awesome!
I know tomorrow will be different than today, and I'm anticipating it the changes, but so far its SO good!
I'm signing off today with:

DeleteWould you do a post explaining why you do a "cleanse"? There are many of us that have never done one & not sure why anyone would? Thx!

Im sure many people cleanse for different reasons, but I choose to do it to kind of restart my gestational tract---I get everything out and only let in the whole, good nutrients that are in the juice. And because its a liquid, the nutrients are more easily absorbed into your bloodstream and give your stomach and intestines a much needed break. After cleansing your body has detoxed and doesn't crave the same foods its was addicted to before. You find yourself craving more salads, and fruits and veggies. So cleansing is a great way to kick off a new and healthier lifestyle!
