NOTE TO SELF: Think through the calendar days before beginning your cleanse. With three male offspring there could be major food involved. Bwahahahahaha!
I am not going to lie, yesterday was a challenge. Especially when grilled chicken and pineapple jalepeno salsa are involved. You know you are in a good place when broccoli is as appealing as ice cream in that moment. NO! I did not cave. I am still very much on track.
I drank a ton of water and reminded myself of the mission at hand when I felt weak-willed throughout the day. I found it quite entertaining when I realized just how many fast food hawking commercials come on at night.
Today is day two of cleansing liquid and water all day. Yesterday I found myself mentally conjuring up all of the crutches I enjoy from time to time. I noticed that all of them contain caffeine. Uh huh, so if for nothing else I will consider this caffeine rehab.
In all seriousness, it has helped me again realize that I now manage food instead of allowing food to manage me. No yo-yo dieting, no 10-20 pound weight gains and losses. And the ability to tackle this experiment, not derail my fitness goals and to write about it.
Progress. Better today than yesterday. Me vs. me.

I love that “me vs. me”, isn’t that almost always the case in life??? You are doing so well on this and yes it is definitely a lesson in will power. We can do whatever we DECIDE we want to do. Keep it up!
I agree Ivette. Most all difficult challenges in our lives are overcome by deciding to do something positive especially when there is the possibility of personal growth! Thanks for reading!
So glad you and I are on the same page here. It really is a mental challenge as we know we’re getting all of the nutrients we need from the cleanse for life juice. Today I don’t miss my coffee but probably the “thought” of my coffee. We’ve got this. Stay strong!…and let’s not do another cleanse through Mother’s Day where our families wanted to take us to dinner!
I’m strong, you’re strong. No doubt about it. Yes indeed we will pay more attention to our social calendars next go around! Thanks for reading!!
