Day 19 of My 21-Day Detox Cleanse

WOW! I hadn't realized how much time had passed since my last posting. And I had wanted to post every day while I was on this program! If it's any consolation, I didn't journal every day either, oh well. Probably because I've had so much energy and felt so well that I got involved in many other things.

This 21-day cleanse program is wonderful. I have stayed true to it in spite of going out to dinners and luncheons and the rewards have been tremendous. I've lost about 11 nasty pounds that will make slipping into my bathing suit a lot easier. I feel very mentally clear and focused, I sleep like a log and DON'T wake up (till the cat starts bugging me around 5 am, but that's just a fact of life when you have a well-fed cat).

However, at Day 17 I began to feel a little tired and drained. After all, the only protein I've had is in the smoothie drink that I have twice a day. And I am getting a little burned out on having the same fruits and veggies every day. There is some variety in the fruits and veggies but frankly, it's getting a little boring after 19 days! That being said, I'm really beginning to think about how I will eat post-cleanse. It would be insane to undo all my disciplined work! In that sense, the cleanse will end, but the food program I want to have to stay healthy will just be beginning on Day 21. Later!
