Cleanse Day 2

Day 2

Here we are day 2. My son woke me at 4:30 AM, but I still managed to make it to my yoga class. I am also being mindful during the cleanse, not doing too much, and taking it easy - it means saying NO more than YES. I spent the day with my children and husband in nature. We went for a lovely walk and rolled around in the grass. I had a lovely Pea and Pear Salad for lunch with avocado and millet mashed potatoes for dinner.

Appetite - As yesterday, after drinking the fresh juice, I didn't have much room for breakfast in the morning. I had a piece of fruit at 11:00. Lunchtime I was very hungry - something I usually don't feel everyday because I snack frequently

Feelings - I feel amazing - I'm actually surprised how great I feel.

Symptoms - NONE - although I headed right to the bathroom after the liver flush. Not the greatest tasting, but I can feel it doing it's job.

Cravings - NONE - Even as my son had an ice cream cone and my husband had yet another bagel. I usually really enjoy them. It feels great to be off of wheat. My body is thanking me.

Thought of the Day - Focus on letting go and forgiveness. We are on all this journey together.
