I’ve been using Arbonne’s products which I really love and training for a half marathon in May. I have more energy which is really helping with my workouts!<br /><br />But now I've stepped it up to a more aggressive detox program called the Master Cleanse also known as the Lemonade Diet. This program consists of lemons, maple syrup, cayenne pepper, and purified water ....and nothing else. It’s going to be a very long 2 weeks!<br /><br />So, Monday was the first day of this portion of my cleanse and I was pretty miserable. My stomach was growling so loud that I seriously thought it was going to jump out of my body.<br /><br />Tuesday was just downright tiresome. I couldn’t think straight, I had no energy, and my eyes were glassy. I looked like I had been crying all day...... actually I kind of wanted to.<br /><br />Now, I’m on day 3 and I feel pretty darn good! I went through a sleepless night where I woke up every hour to go to the bathroom and then had nightmares all night long. I dreamt of scary people chasing me to do me bodily harm to people finding me in their home which was also scary because I was trespassing and they didn't like it.... I’m going to chalk this up to major detoxing. ….very strange.<br /><br />If you have any thoughts or comments on this program or any other detox programs, please feel free to blog with us! You can find more information on the Master Cleanse on the web. You can get lots of info at these 2 websites: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master%20Cleanse">Master Cleanse1 </a>or <a href="http://www.diet-blog.com/archives/2006/12/11/the_master_cleanser.php">Master Cleanse2 </a></div><div><br />My goal is 14 days so check back to see how I am doing! I'll keep you posted...<br /><br />Warm regards,<br /><br />Eva</div>Body Elementshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05409300243551671482noreply@blogger.com
