We made it! This cleanse was one filled with determination, joy, exhaustion, and a few mental acrobatics. For the third week of the cleanse, I committed to fully liquid. Usually, I consume a mix of homemade smoothies, two to three days of juice, plenty of water, and soups. This time around, I engaged in a watermelon juice cleanse, Veggieblends juice cleanse, and water. Let’s get into it!
Watermelon Cleanse
The watermelon cleanse was wonderful. I felt hydrated, full, and maintained my energy. Created by Natroganix, we were guided to consume warm herbal tea or lime water to begin our day and of course follow up with watermelon juice and water for the remainder of the day. I followed those instructions and alternated between the lime water my son and I prepped and watermelon juice. The cleanse was designed to last two days, but I had enough for three days.
Veggieblends
My cousin, Jess, owns a company called Veggieblends. She creates this decadent juice recipes that I simply adore. I tend to place orders as I do my seasonal cleanse. As usual, the juices were great and there were some new flavors. My personal favorites are Super Greens and the Beet Juice. Yummers! This juice lasted for approximately two days.
Closing Out
Unlike prior cleanse journeys, I was very exhausted this time around. Because of the level of exhaustion I was feeling, I opted not to make my own smoothies and simply purchased two large jugs of Bolthouse Farms smoothie (mango and green). I alternated between the smoothies and water to close out liquid week. So what did all this liquid do for my results? I thought you’d never ask.
Results
I released 10.4 pounds! This is the most I have ever released on this cleanse and I was completely shocked. BMI, visceral fat, and that blasted metabolic age all went down. I have noticed that my clothes and undergarments are a bit looser and I feel better in my body. This summer cleanse was a success!
I will have one final update regarding the cleanse and then we’ll move into a topic that I am very passionate about. Stay tuned.
Peace and Love.
