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.

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.
