I want to celebrate finishing out our cleanse, and all the wonderful people who have decided to cleanse too. Although we are technically done with our 21 day program; this time, we have felt so great and been inspired to really change our lifestyle. So, although I will have the occasional cupcake at a shower and enjoy my Starbucks/Roots on a cold, rainy day, we are pretty much making the cleanse diet our lifestyle. It’s worth it- we feel so great, and we want to stay that way!!
Part of what I love about the blogging world- and admit it, you love it too- are the giveaways and freebies… And, I know I promised giveaways on my blog. Don’t worry, I will not disappoint. I intended to do this sooner, but of course, life got in the way. So speaking of cleanse, and lifestyle, and celebration, and my friends… Who doesn’t love Whole Foods Market?! And, who doesn’t love free stuff and giveaways?! Whole Foods is a big reason we survived our cleanse so easily, and a big part of what makes this lifestyle easy. I love Whole Foods, and I am so grateful to have one nearby! I will not complain about their prices, I see the value in paying good money for good food… In the words of Jordan Rubin, “You can pay the farmer now, or you can pay the doctor later!”
But, I would like to offer to help out with your Whole Foods bill… How does a $30 gift card to Whole Foods sound? Yep, that’s what’s up for grabs, my friends. How do you win? The winner will be randomly picked in a few days. To be entered in the contest, leave a comment on this post. Want a second entry? Link me to your Facebook page, and comment telling me you’ve done so. Want a third entry? Link my blog on your blog, and comment telling me you’ve done so. And, for a fourth entry, if you have done the cleanse, write up a testimonial on your blog or Facebook about your experience- I can’t wait to read them (don’t forget to share a recipe or website)! Winner will be announced at the end of the week, so start commenting and linking! Also, if you will create an account for free here, your pic will show up when commenting, which is much more enjoyable for me and other readers.
Curious how I ended up after the cleanse? Well, I lost 11 pounds in 3 weeks, my sugar cravings are gone and I am sleeping a lot deeper. But, one of our favorite things about this program is that we are cooking at home consistently and enjoying at least 1 (usually 2) meals at home around the table as a family. I hope you’ll get to experience the wonderful results of making healthier choices, Happy Cleansing!

I loved the Jordan Rubin quote… I might put that on the bottom of my emails. Thanks for sharing all the great recipes and the good, the bad and the delicious of cleansing! (About to do a mini-cleanse beginning Monday… wish me luck.)
