The cleanse is officially over for me! Woot Woot!
So all in all, I think this was a good experience and I'm glad I did it. There were some struggle moments but I made it through. And I'm so happy that other people in my life joined me in the cleanse. I really don't know if I would have stuck to it past week 2 had I not known that others were in this with me.
In the past month I think I've cooked more than I ever had, thus sweeping my kitchen floor, loading and unloading my dishwasher, wiping down my counters, and going to the grocery store more than I ever have. I also think I have consumed more nuts, nut bars, and nut butters more than ever.
I might take it easy during the next few days (I've taken a week off of work!). But really, in the future, I plan to continue to bring healthy lunches to work and eat healthy breakfasts. I also plan to continue to cook at home cleaner meals. Going out to eat will, hopefully, be the only times that I'll have less-cleanse worthy meals. Even then, I'm hoping I'll be choosing menu items that I know are better for me, like fish. I think there has been a lot of great new recipes that we've tried and I've started to Pinterest recipes that look good to me (most of them that would fit into the cleanse). I know now that if I'm craving a special something to eat, like a sugary treat, that I can probably do without. I just eliminated caffeine, dairy, gluten, processed foods, alcohol, and added sugars from my diet for a whole month! I'm pretty impressed that I've completed this challenge! Thanks for all of the support from everyone in my life!
And for those of you who might still be on this cleanse, feel free to use this blog for some added support! Good luck!
