Ever done a cleanse? I'm on the last day of a 14 day cleanse to clean out my digestive track and make me healthier and more energetic this year. It's been tough, but if you like to be clean on the outside, think about getting clean on the inside.
Here are some tips and things to think about when you are considering a cleanse:
1. Don't follow a cleanse whose instructions include "Make sure you do not have to leave the house for the next 12 hours"
2. Plan your meals before hand. Waking up on day three of a Veggies Only cleanse and finding out that the only things in the fridge are pudding and sweetened condensed milk is really bad. For you and the family.
3. How long do you want the cleanse to last? Three days? Until the first craving hits? One day after you start threatening your husband with violence if he eats another cookie in front of you?
4. Remember to follow the directions for the cleanse. Read the instructions every day, just to remind yourself that Poutine and Costco hotdogs are still not in it.
A two week cleanse can be challenging....even for someone with experience....and here are some of my own personal helpers:
The Food Channel
Duct tape
Blogging
Working (you can't eat at someone else's house)
I'm less than 12 hours away from being done....and that thought alone is keeping me going...
What's keeping you going?
