I'm done!!!
I did it!
I've never done any type of cleanse before, and I'm so glad that I completed this one while following all the protocols...until 6:30pm! I finished my cleanse a little early tonight, I'll explain below.
Ok, here's how my last day went!

How I felt today:
First off, let me start by saying....
We SLEPT last night!!!!
Noelle's meds worked, praise The Lord, and we all got a full night's sleep!
Wow, did that feel good!
It set us up for a great day at our church's discernment conference!
That kept me pretty distracted (accept for when everyone was eating cookies during the breaks!) so I wasn't tempted much.
By the time we got home, it was 1:30 and I was STARVING for lunch! My shake and NingXia just didn't cut it so I had my almonds soon after lunch.
I had the same gastrointestinal issues as yesterday (read here...I don't want to type those words again), but again, there was no discomfort.
I will be honest and say that I finished my cleanse voluntarily early....does that sound positive or negative?
We were at my in-laws' for dinner and I had drank my shake already and I was just REALLY wanting her salad. She makes great salads.
So I had a plate.
It was an all vegetable salad with an olive oil and vinegar dressing, so it was really healthy!
But I guess I just "called the game on account of salad."
Not sure if I should feel bad or not...but I don't! haha, I'm just glad I made it through and I'm looking forward to making much healthier food choices without craving the unhealthy ones!
I'll recap how I feel about the entire cleanse tomorrow and update on how it feels to eat the same food as my family!
For any of you that have followed me, I thank you! I'm hoping that this can be a resource for someone considering doing the 5-Day Nutritive Cleanse like I did!

How much weight did you lose? Did it cause you to be in the bathroom a lot?
ReplyDeleteI only ended up losing a couple pounds...2lbs I believe. I really didn't notice a huge difference in going to the bathroom, though my digestion was much more efficient!
DeleteThis may be a silly question, but did you have product left over when you were done? I ask because my teen daughters want to do this cleanse with me, and I think my husband does as well. So I'm wondering how many cleanser packs I need to order.
ReplyDeleteI had quite a bit of Digest and Cleanse left over because I really didn't need much of it. There was maybe enough of the powder left for a few more servings and I can't recall how much Ningxia! But I know there was some....I want to say half a bottle. And all of these can also be purchased separately.
ReplyDeleteHope that helps!
