These are my famous last words...I am 2 days into my FOURTH week on this blasted cleanse. I miss eating food so much. The only positive thing from the experience is the weight loss. I am down 24 pounds. 6 days ago I started the apple juice cleanse to bring down stones from the gall bladder, pancreas and liver, if any. Along with 1 cup of apple juice 3 times a day, I also need to take 1 Tbsp Olive Oil and 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice. I am allowed 1 serving of the veggie juice if I need it for energy. My energy has been extremely low but the thought of drinking that vegetable juice again makes me cringe.
Saturday and Sunday were my third full weekend on the cleanse and so far the most challenging. I also got a mega migraine headache on Saturday that was almost more than I could bare. Remember that I am not able to take any synthetic pain relievers or caffine. In the past I would grab 2 excedrine migraine and a 32 oz coke and take a 6 hour nap. This time all I had was my ice bag and my dark room. I survived!
David is a trooper and is doing so well on his cleanse. He is also down 24 pounds and it really shows on him. He will definitely need to go shopping for some new shirts and slacks. I hope my kids aren't suffering and are excited about all the healthy changes that David and I are making. I think this experience will benefit the entire family.
I will let you know the progress and hopefully my next post will be full of stories of delicious salads and smoothies.
