I’ve been talking about this fast for some time with my sister. She swears by it. I take her advice with a grain of salt because in the past she has done a lot of different diets like mostly Vegetarian and the Aitken’s Diet which sounds… well… nasty really… and now she’s following a more Macrobiotic Diet. She’s on a major food and health journey.
However, when I saw her last year she had just come off the cleanse and she looked fabulous. And more importantly she seemed to eat a lot better, with a lot more consciousness.
So, after a particularly naughty weekend of two kids birthdays both complete with cake, one of which I took the leftover fried and cheesy bar food home from AND a visit to a cupcake shop ALL IN ONE WEEKEND, I decided it was time to clean out the system. My sister did say it would reset me and make me think about what I was eating.
The Master Cleanse suggests 10 days but I did the cleanse for only 3. On the 4th I was back to solids.
I did feel better and had more energy, one of those days I ran 30 minutes behind a stroller in 92 degree weather. No problem.
I also never felt that hungry. Anytime I started to feel hunger I just drank more lemonade.
In total I lost 7 pounds. I’m back to my WEDDING WEIGHT, baby! Of course, after two kids your wedding weight is a bit different. In a cruel twist of redistribution fate my boobs got smaller and my feet got bigger.
I’m curious to see if I gain it all back. I guess it depends if I can keep mindful about what I put in my body or not. Stay tuned….

Wow, you look great– very fit and healthy! Getting in shape for number 3?
Ha do people do that? Have my reason for thinking about a third is NOT to worry about what I have to eat for a while! I am trying to lose it for the 20 year reunion in July, which is why I sadly won’t get to see you guys this year.
20 years! How can that be?
