So, I didn't post every day of my 8-day cleanse. Shoot me. Here's what happened in a nutshell... I made it 4.75 days without eating a single thing (yay me!) - was really in a pretty good mood the entire time, much to my surprise. The last day you're supposed to feel better than ever and the beginning days people typically feel tired, cruddy, headachy - none of which I felt. However, my last day I couldn't get out of bed and felt so horrible I couldn't move. I had this amazing urge to sob, which I did, and was shaky and lifeless. So I guess that my 'deep cleanse' reaction came at the end, which kind of stinks since I was really looking for that super high as a perk for doing it, which I never got. So I ended up eating a sliver of canteloupe that morning and started feeling a bit better - then went the rest of the day without eating and had dinner.
My overall feeling about it - I would do it again! It was hard - but do-able since husband really helped out with feeding the kids at night, which was the hardest/most tempting part. I developed a superhero sense of smell while I was on it - could literally smell food a mile away, which was like being pregnant x 100. I'm not sure I feel any different after doing it, but I was able to lose a little weight, and I now can say I have some will power, which I'm pretty happy about. OK, boring post done.
