Scrub, Scrub

My husband and I are starting a ten-day cleanse today. Wish me luck.

I don't plan on cheating, really I don't. But, I am afraid that my meals, consisting of a mysterious-black powder, will decide not to stay down.

We have to take 7 special vitamins 3 times a day and at least two fruit smoothies made from the mystery powder, flax oil and water. In between, we are only allowed to eat vegetables and fruit. I feel nauseous already.

I plan on living on applesauce with ground flax seed and cinnamon. Yum. I am glad I have the last book of the Twilight series to finish- it will be a great distraction from my rumbling tummy.

My husband is convinced this is the answer to ALL of my problems. I hope he's right. Wouldn't that be so nice? If after ten days ALL of my problems went away? I'm holding my breathe. Really. Really I am.

Okay, maybe not. It's breakfast time... here I go. I'll let you guys know how it goes!

Sometimes the only way I can get through something like that is to remember that my favorite foods WON'T disappear while I'm on the fast or cleanse. McDonald's or oreo cookies won't suddenly disappear off the face of the earth in 10 days, and that package of cake mix will still be in your cupboard.

You'll be great! If you don't believe that, who will?!?!

While I do like a good detox every now and then, and feel much better for it, that black stuff sounds horrible, lol!

Mind you, it is only 10 days - be interesting to see how you feel after it. Good luck and keep us informed.

Is the black powder charcoal? I know some people who take charcoal pills for tummy aches and they're capsules with black powder in them. I tried it once and it did help my tummy ache.

Good luck with your detoxing - it's always hard getting started and 10 days hopefully will go fast for you. You will feel amazing at the end though. :)

Good luck on this. You are a braver woman than I am--I couldn't go without eating protein. Glad to hear you and hubbie are doing this together. Blessings! Bonnie
