Floating Away

Just finished a 3 Day Juice/Soup Cleanse.

First off, I actually completed it and didn't die.   I needed to reset my body as I hadn't gotten relief from my headaches for over a month.  I thought if I restart and then watch what I will be putting down my gullet then I can know what could be causing some issues I have been dealing with.  

While scrolling through Groupon I found this amazing deal on Jus by Julie.  I checked out their site and it was legit and had great reviews.  It is usually $125 for the 3 day cleanse, but on Groupon it was $59.00 but I also had a code to lower the price to $40.00.  (Shipping was $29 but worth the freshness of one day shipping from NY)

Side note, when using Groupon or Living Social always check for discount codes.  I use Retail Me Not and also Ebates, discounts and a kick back from my purchasing. If you are not using these site you are missing out my friend.



I started Monday and was looking forward to the amazing flavors that Jus by Julie sent.  Drinking my green drink on the way to work and was full until 10am when I heated up the amazing soup. At noon, another drink, 2:00 pm soup, 4:00 drink, and 7:00 soup.  Water throughout the day.  See below for the yumminess I had.  

SWEET SPIN SMOOTHIE - You'll start the day with a Sweet Spin smoothie, which is loaded with healthy greens and Vitamins A & C. The addition of bananas, which naturally contain resistant starch, will keep hunger pangs at bay throughout the a.m. hours.
CHIA BERRY SMOOTHIE – Refreshing strawberries, pomegranate, lemon and agave with a serving of Chia seeds for protein and fiber. (FAVORITE)
SPICY POMEGRANATE SMOOTHIE - This is a classic detoxifying lemon drink with the addition of sweet pomegranate and a spicy kick.
SPLIT PEA SOUP - With almost 50% of your daily dose of fiber, this soup will put your digestive system on track and keep you full.
ROASTED TOMATO GAZPACHO SOUP – An antioxidant-rich "flavor bomb" that will thrill your taste buds.
PUMPKIN COCONUT BISQUE – This warmly spiced soup features roasted pumpkin.
RED LENTIL SOUP - This soup, seasoned with our secret signature spices, is packed with 10 grams of plant-based protein, to keep you feeling satisfied.
DETOX BROTH - This plant-based broth is packed with mushrooms, broccoli, carrots, onions, ginger & garlic.
CARROT TURMERIC SOUP - Turmeric has been used for centuries as a natural remedy. Enjoy it in this lightly sweet carrot soup.
BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP - Butternut squash, sweet potatoes and carrots come together in a delicious & cherished family recipe. (FAVORITE)
CARROT GINGER SOUP - This soup, flavored with carrots, smoky cumin and creamy coconut milk is super creamy.
POTATO LEEK SOUP – Creamy and irresistible, this soup indulges both your taste buds and your body's basic needs.

Confession: I did have a hard boiled egg on day 2, and a salad on day 3. My boss took me to lunch and I had to eat something, but finished the juicing that night.  I was getting moody on day 3, my filter was thin so it is good I work in an office I am alone.  But after the salad  I saw happiness again. 

I hate to pee, like I get really annoyed, think this has a lot to do with my headaches.  Wait, pee and headaches? Yes, I really think I was not drinking enough as I would pee in the morning and then again at home at 4:30 pm and nothing in between.  So if anything I have realized I need to drink water through out the day to feel good and that I need to get up from my desk every 30 mins even if it is to pee.  BRB... got to pee
So in the 3 days I was down 4.8 lbs, I know that it will creep back on if  I am not aware of what I am taking in.  I did sign up for LOSE IT as it tracks what I am eating.  When I think of a day and what I eat I feel like I haven't eaten much, but keep track of it makes me see the handful of Goldfish that are in the break room need to be tracked.  
ACCOUNTABILITY, that is what realize I need. Not so much from others, as I get a bit snivelly with them, but knowing what I eat and how much I am moving.  Apps are the best for me as I can't get mad or irritated by them. 
So now starts the new eating plan. KETO.  Looking at the list of foods I can eat on it I feel like it is doable.  Some of the items I have to Google as I have no clue what they are.  

So this is my next adventure.  I will post later next week about it. Off to find a fatty burger with no bun.
