Days 3-6 flew by!

Like the title said! Days 3, 4, 5 and 6 went on without care. I had to restock my veggies on day 3 and again yesterday. Like I said before this isn't cheap BUT the benefits that are coming from this are amazing!!! Me a "I gotta have 3 or more huge cups a coffee a day" has gone without coffee for a week!  A week!!! Never in my life would I of thought that would happen!!! I have been replacing it with tea, specifically a Detox tea to help along ummm what coffee normally does in the mornings. However, Monday morning I ran out of my normal tea and wanted that hot cup in my hands so I steeped a different kind... I didn't know it had caffeine in it.... It had 35mg  when a 8oz cup of Joe normally has 90 mg. <---- and I drank 3 16oz cups a day!! Yeah, lets just say I was bouncing off the walls off that little cup of tea worse than a 3 year old on a sugar high, not to mention jittery!!

I have had more energy the past week than I have had in a looong time. My mood is better and my skin is looking better. Oh and the taste... well after day 3 I was making mostly green juices, I am talking Kale, Spinach, Swiss Chard and maybe 2 pieces of fruit and I have no problems drinking it down. So the tolerance builds!!!

I went out Saturday night with a friend and broke my detox for the evening. Reason being, well it was my first night out by myself since before Christmas and I was going to enjoy it... I defiantly enjoyed it! :) The introduction however of greasy foods sent me to the bathroom more than once during the short time we were there. Hey, I suppose my tummy wasn't use to that. It was like Whoa! You have been giving us all this good stuff then give us this crap! hehe no pun intended! But that is something I was not prepared for and honestly I am glad I know, however at the bar sucked ;)

I have been drinking/ eating nothing but fruits and veggies for the past week. Even adding in some peanuts as a snack and I have not only said goodbye to 12 pounds but I have never felt this good!


Well I guess since a blog post isn't a blog post with out a picture, here is one of my kids enjoying the 85 degree day yesterday, while rubbing temptation in mommy's face :) I am a sucker for Popsicle....
