In the spirit of spring cleaning, (and going off of last week's detox post,) I have decided to try a cleanse.
For me, I'm not looking to lose weight. I just kind of want to "spring clean" my system, and undo a little of the damage from the past two weeks or so.
(i.e. croissants, cupcakes, cake, beer, etc.)
But if a cleanse also helps at getting the ol' body ready for bikini season/wedding season/peeling off the sweater season, then so be it!
So the cleanse I have decided is the Dr. Oz 48-hour cleanse. Pros? It does not involve starvation, and the recipes seem like they're probably pretty good and easy to make.
Cons? Well, nothing yet. Except that I have never done a cleanse before, and am not sure what it will be like.
Some of my preliminary thoughts on this:
-Why in the whole, wide world of produce are artichoke hearts in a smoothie? Because Dr. Oz said so. He could probably tell me to toss in some sardines and I'd do it. Begrudgingly.
-I don't know if I can handle the lack of baked goods/chocolate. Seriously, I am a sugar addict. I eat pretty well most of the time, but that sweet tooth gets me every time! However, I do like a good challenge, so bring it on.
-Epsom salts baths, eh? I tried one tonight. Personally, I'm just excited that someone reminded me there are alternatives to showers, and they are awesome.
-The weekend would not be a good time to start a cleanse. Just throwing that one out there. The weekend is the time for pancakes and wine and all that.
So I start this up officially today, and I will report back on my thoughts periodically over the next 48 hours. Get excited!!
Has anyone tried this cleanse, or something similar? What are your thoughts?
Happy March!
Haha I tried that cleanse also and failed...It must be something about it :)
