I had decided that I was going to start the cleanse on Tuesday, February 21st! I did my grocery shopping yesterday and have in mind what I will be eating tomorrow. I have been looking forward to this cleanse for awhile. My husband and I do this detox once per year and because of an excuse of a new born- I did not do it last year. So I am all focused on starting tomorrow and guess what was brought into my office today...you will never guess!! The cutest little Girl Scout delivering the cookies I had ordered last month! Yep- 3 boxes! She was so cute and even gave me a thank you note with a picture of her and her cookies she had sold! Now it did not end there! Nope! I had another sweet patient bring me a pint of Penn State Creamery ice cream! The name of it...wait for it...Death By Chocolate! Ha! What are the odds! It will literally be my demise- sitting there in my freezer taunting me for the next 3 weeks! What timing! I did what any of you would do and said- sweet,I have one more night! Affter enjoying a couple Samoas, Dos Si Do's, and a few.bites of Death By Chocolate - I am ready to get out of this sugar binge I have been on the last couple months! I am ready to loose some weight, get my energy back and stop having the horrible cravings for sugar!
I have gotten some feedback already from people who have startd the cleanse...to Michelle, the headaches will go away. It is one of the most common symptoms that happen during the first few daays. Headaches are going to be from a with drawl from carbohydrates, sugar and/or caffiene. Keep your water intake high keep the calories intake up! Don't let your blood sugar dive too low!
To my sister who just finished the cleanse for the third time...congrats!! You did it again and with a big success! To those of you who need motivation, she lost 20 pounds and feels AMAZING! Great job Sissy!!!
Beth!!! with the headache, this morning i woke up early to nausea, shakes, hot/cold flashes, dizzyness (think this was from being sooo tired) i felt like i was coming outta my skin... pacing the halls, moaning like a freakin ghost! silly i felt better when i moaned! finally shaking this feeling now at 3:30 from 5:30 am- thank god hope thats the only time i feel that way in the next 20 days:-)
ReplyDeletelove your posts!!!
Oh Michelle - I am so sorry that your Detox started off with the symptoms you are experiencing! Everyone's bodies will expel toxins in different ways. I honestly have not had anyone have the symptoms you are experiencing besides one person who ended up with food poisoning from something she ate the night before she started the cleanse! I did have one woman who ended up with the chills and hives a couple years ago. You will not feel like this the whole cleanse and I would be surprised if you continue to feel this way for more than a day. Regardless of if it is from the cleanse or a bug you picked up - your body is ridding of what it needs to.
