2nd day of my 7-day Body Cleanse

I have learned that before starting any diet or weight loss program, you should detoxify your system.  Fat cells like to cling to toxins in your body so if you get rid of toxins, then your fat cells have nowhere to hide out.  Makes sense to me, so therefore I am detoxifying my system!

I started my 7-day detox yesterday!  I am using the 7-day Body Cleanse from Arbonne and I know from past experience that this stuff works GREAT!  When I did it last time, I had just started training for a 1/2 marathon and I was able to run 5 miles one day and 6 the next...and I felt like I could have done more.  I wasn't feeling any of the muscle soreness or fatigue that I would normally feel at the start of training.  I had tons of energy and I felt great, so this is what I'm hoping for again. :)

Here's a description of the product from the Arbonne website: "7-Day Body Cleanse - Helps cleanse and detoxify the system and support the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Assists with the gentle elimination of toxins."

Now to be honest, I have to tell you that I really don't like the taste of the detox "stuff".  In fact, I think it's pretty gross!  So this time, I took a friends' advice and am adding some NRG Go Fizz Tabs to the concoction.  It is MUCH MUCH better this way and I'd encourage everybody to do this!!  Each day, you take a small bottle of the detox stuff, shake it up and pour it into a large water bottle. (I am using the Arbonne Sea Source water bottle because it's perfectly sized)  You then pour in 32 ounces of water, add 1/2 each of the citrus and pomegranate fizz tabs and put it in the fridge for the night.  Then you drink it all the next day.  I still find myself guzzling as much as possible each time I take a drink...but this helps to make it disappear faster and the taste doesn't seem so bad.  See?  No sugarcoating this!  I don't really like it, but I am still doing it!

The rest of the "diet" will start as soon as my shipment of protein and fiber powders arrive.  I'm hoping to have it all by Wednesday and then I'll be updating this blog daily with all the details.  Good and bad.

Hope you all have a good night!

I'm happy to be "detoxifying" myself as I sleep!
