30-Day Cleansing - Day 9

While I normally would feel disappointed to have kept the same measurements and weight for so many days straight, I have so much energy and focus! Truly, from before the cleanse day to after the cleanse day, it's like night and day. For the second day in a row I felt energized and engaged in work (and believe me, it's not the work that's changed!) 

Weight update: it seems that the 160lbs measurement that I took a few days ago truly was, unfortunately, a fluke. I've been holding steady at 165 since then. However, big picture is that I released 5 pounds in 9 days, and even more impressive: I released 10 inches from all over my body, with the biggest being the three from my tummy and 2 from my bum. That's about 1 inch per day since I started this program! 

I am loving that I FEEL healthier and LOOK better. My pants fit again, which is my favorite part. It's hard to feel good about yourself when you can't even button your pants that you wear to work. 

In other news, I do have a rash on the back of both my hands... I don't think it's related, but I've never had a rash before. So I'll keep an eye out on that. 

30-Day Cleanse - Day 7

One week in - and I feel great! I felt energized all day and THAT it the effect I have been waiting for. This is the first time since I started my job, that I was awake and engaged throughout the day and into the evening. Now, after making dinner, making lunch, and preparing food for tomorrow, I will go to bed with only this short update. I can't wait to keep feeling this great or even better!

30-Day Cleanse - Day 6

Today is the day - Cleansing Day - the star player of this cleansing system. This whole program works around the idea of cleansing "toxins" from your body, like caffeine or anything else unhealthy. If I understand correctly, when losing weight quickly and safely (which this program does), your fat cells shrink, which makes the yucky toxic stuff in your body a greater percentage of your body. This triggers a reaction in your body to want to gain the weight back as recon for the presence of all the toxins. I could literally be butchering the explanation, since I fully do not understand it that well. Can anyone with more experience help me out?
