With spending 1/3 of our summer out of town on various trips, our poor bodies have been abused with fast food, soft drinks, and lots of sugar! We came home from our final trip last weekend and the plan was to start a cleanse. Though we knew it would be difficult, we were both excited about doing it. We chose the Standard Process 21-day Purification Program. I spent a lot of time creating our menu and shopping list before we went to Florida so that as soon as we came home, I could stock up on all the fresh produce and we could start right away.
After four successful days on the cleanse, a stomach bug hit our house and we had to throw the cleanse out the window. Suffice it to say, we haven't had much in the way of food the last couple of days (we both lost about 10 pounds, though!). I could tell you about the great bananas and toast we've been eating, haha! We've decided to hold off on the cleanse until the first of the year. If we have to start it over now, it'll carry over into Nathan's birthday...and then there's Thanksgiving...and then Christmas...so basically, we picked a bad time to do a cleanse. :/
I'm glad that we did get those 4 days of experience, though. Now I know more of what to expect when we do it again. The menu that we had to work with was actually not too bad. I made some great meals! However, it was a LOT of work. Pretty much the entire day, every day, was spent preparing foods.
I've got some menu making and grocery shopping to do!
