We still get tired every now and then, but isn’t that normal life?! I definitely say that my sleep is much better, and the cravings for cupcakes and Starbucks are few and far between now. Plus, I can be craving some awful food, sit down to my healthy meal and get up feeling totally satisfied [...]

We are over halfway there! The exhaustion and cravings are finally starting to leave, and I am feeling good. JB and I both agree that we are sleeping really good on this cleanse. It feels nice to be getting energy. Also, I am loving all the new recipes and the fact that I am really [...]

No, the cleanse has not killed me, I am still around. But, as I mentioned, it has been a very busy week of helping catch babies. Maybe that is so that I can be a testimony to the fact that you can stick with this program, even while leading a crazy, busy life! Because [...]
I am absolutely exhausted! I don’t know if I can really blame it on the cleanse, or the weather, or the busy weekend of births, or working this afternoon and not getting the ever important nap. Whatever the reason though, I am super tired! And, the one thing that was looming over me when I [...]
Today really wasn’t too bad. Probably due to the fact that I got some much needed rest! However, I am still really craving sweets tonight.

Normally, when we have done the cleanse in the past, we agree that day 3 is usually the hardest one for us to survive. It feels like once we are pass day 3, the outlook is better. The headaches finally vanish, the cravings deminish and the energy begins to return. Well, yesterday- day 3- went [...]
JB is craving sunflower seeds badly this afternoon. One thing you will figure out while cleansing- and a major reason why we love the cleanse- is that with all these fruits and veggies in your diet, you have to be creative. Adrenal fatigue- which most people suffer from- really causes you to crave sugar. Something [...]
I woke up feeling wonderful, the headache is gone, thank the Lord! So, it’s back into the normal routine I go… Harper ate his breakfast of mangos and bananas, while I pumped 4 ounces of milk. That’s a lot for me, supply is definitely not suffering. Then, it was time for my breakfast- smoothie it [...]
