Wens-day is Cleans-day!!

Just wanted to write a bit about my 2nd cleanse day.

Not terrible, but I definitely heard my tummy growl a lot more often than on my first cleanse day last week.  I find it particularly difficult to drink all the water I need to.  I have become so used to NOT eating and NOT drinking water, that I just don't remember to stop and do it.  I drink at least 68 ounces of water a day, often more, but I know I should get in another 30 or so.  However, all that water makes for very interrupted nights for me.  Up and down...up and down....up and down...all through the night.

Back to Basics

It's now Thursday, and I have had two successful Shake days in a row, and my very first Cleanse day.  I was concerned about the Cleanse day, because I am a Type 2 diabetic on medication.  But, instead of just saying "oh, I can't do that!", I thought I would try it and see how my body responded.

Well, I did great.  I actually didn't feel hungry until about 3:30 in the afternoon.  My tummy did some significant grumbling.  I just at some Isagenix Snacks and drank more water.  Within minutes I was fine.  I went to bed feeling pretty good.  I woke up INCREDIBLY tired, because of being up so often using the bathroom.

Now, on that subject, the Cleanse day on Wednesday was crazy.  Like needing to use the bathroom every 20-30 minutes.  Also, I am 53 years old, have had 8 children, and have to get up a few times a night anyway.  But, with the extra water I am drinking, and the products that really are cleansing your body, the nights are not my friend.  And, I wake up really tired from such interrupted sleep.

Still.....not sorry I am doing this!

I had a good day today too.  I bought a little personal blender from WalMart, so I can leave it at work and make my shake between 12:30 ad 1:00 p.m. so I am not waiting until 2:30 to get my lunch shake in.  It worked great and I felt a lot stronger in the afternoon with this timing.

I feel so empowered.  I can look at sweets and snacks and just pass them by.  I know my body is functioning at a higher level now, and I don't want to mess it up.

Now I have to be strong through the weekend!  When routine is gone, I have more problems, like when I was in California.  It is also Easter.  My goal - EAT NO CANDY!!  Not even one.  I'll let you know how it goes.
