1 week down, 3 to go!!!

When I started the cleanse I honestly didn't think I would be able to make it.
No sugar at all- come on, I am the BIGGEST sugar/sweets junkie there is!
However, I have made it an entire week on it so far, and am going strong!
I even made the trip to NC without breaking it - so I know I can finish!
I have now had NO:
Dairy
Grains
Fruits
Legumes
FoR and ENTIRE week! It is so crazy! I normally can't live a day without fruit and icecream!
So this is a big HUGE deal for me!

The other part of this - Chip has done it with me and is going strong too - and he also had a trip to NY during it - which it was SO hard for him not to go to our favorite Pizza joint Rays!

So, no soda, no treats - what are we eating you might asK? Some of our favorites:
Turkey spaghettis sauce over Spaghetti squash (SOOOOOO good!)
Grilled salad with avocados, tomatos, cucumbers, and turkey bacon or chicken
Fresh squeezed carrot juice (we bought a juicer just for this)
almonds/cashews
egg omelet - chip has perfected this for us
turkey bacon

However, we are looking forward to adding fruit in next week! But so far, the results are great! We both have lost more than 6 lbs. each, and my stomach problems have gone away!

I am so impressed that you could go without sugar...let alone those other things. I can't go a day without it. Maybe I need to do a cleanse. I am glad you are feeling better because of it though. Linds told me you are making tutus. I want to see pictures. Where are you selling them?
