Day 3 of the Liquid Only Fast - and the unthinkable happens!

I'm in a little bit of a funk at the moment - now while everything had been going according to plan since Friday when I started the 5 day liquid only fast, a spanner was thrown into the works this morning. So, Friday and Saturday morning, I juiced enough apples to see me through the day and stored in an airtight container - took with me to the salon and when it was time for my 'fix' (at 3 hour intervals) I would pour out 8 oz of apple juice, add my toxin absorber, shake and drink.

This morning I was in the process of doing the same thing when *gasp* my darned juicer went and broke down! To be truthful it had been sounding a little weird on Saturday but I just thought it needed to rest ( I use my juicer quite often).

I truly have no intention of buying another juicer (this one cost me over 30k and is just about 10 months old) and seeing as I can't use packaged juice, I'm just going to use water for my mixes till I can have someone look at the power box tomorrow. I have to say though that it tastes way better with apple juice but I shall just grin and bear it for now.

Day 2 of the pre cleanse and I'm feeling good!

After a few false starts, I finally got my act together and started the pre cleanse yesterday! I'd earlier said I would begin on Friday the 14th but I completely forgot that my Fridays are normally set aside for something entirely incompatible with this. Then Saturday and Sunday were quite busy at the salon and I'd forgotten to pack my lunch (or eat before leaving the house for that matter) so I couldn't follow the detailed plan for the pre cleanse.

Then on Monday I started the day with a plan to commence the pre cleanse but neglected to read the instructions again to confirm when at night I was to take the digestive stimulator. Somewhere in my mind, I believed it was AFTER dinner only for me to eat dinner, grab the bottle and see that I was supposed to have taken it BEFORE dinner!

Lol!! Anyway, finally yesterday I commenced the pre cleanse and I'm feeling good about it!

Prepping for my 9 day colon cleansing journey.

I've been planning to repeat a cleanse I did 2 years ago but somehow I haven't been able to rouse myself to do it. I have now decided that I will use this blog to hold myself accountable: after all my profile does say I'm on a natural hair and body journey :)

I will therefore be starting this cleanse on Friday the 14th and document it here!

So, sometime in 2012, I discovered this all natural colon cleansing kit made by a company 'Blessed Herbs' in the United States. It purports to get rid of accumulated toxins in the intestines in 8 days using the contents of their kit and going on a 5 day liquid only diet.

It seemed daunting at first - drinking liquids only for 5 straight days but I thought, 'why not'? So I did it and my goodness! I shall not disgust anyone with the details of the stuff that I got rid of - but trust me, should you be in need of serious detox using natural ingredients, that will get rid of accumulated debris within your intestinal walls; you may want to give this a try! The cleanse comes in a choice of Ginger Root or peppermint - I prefer to use Ginger root because of the healing properties of Ginger.
