felt back to normal on day 14, but was really hungry by late evening [probably should have been in bed]. i think about quitting multiple times every day, this day included. just really ready to be done, but then also i’ve come this far and so why quit now. but yes, i’m so darn excited about day 21 being only a week away. wondering how i should celebrate the big day?

snack: 1/2 larabar
dinner: you guessed it. a smoothie [protein, fiber, flax meal, coconut water, mixed berries, mango, kale]
man i woke up hungry on day 15 and stayed hungry most of the day. late night, i was so hungry that i couldn’t think straight. it’s funny how the days vary so much [not in my eating, but in my level of hunger]. besides being hungry, i felt great.
i know my lunches are boring and repetitive but i have no desire to really cook anything different or special. and i’m really not a very big vegetable eater ever. i tell myself every day that i’m going to make a juice, but that seems to never happen. maybe tomorrow. i have beets, carrots, apples and ginger waiting for me. i really need to juice more.
six more days and i’m DONE! cannot wait, cannot wait, cannot wait. kiele asked me today what my first meal was going to be post-cleanse…a donut? ummm…no, not a donut. but what IS my first meal going to be? it’s kind of exciting to think about.

But do you feel better/good/amazing? Has it been worth it? Would you do it again? Curious!
great questions sara! all of which i’ll be answering next week. i want to wait until i’m done and then will be doing a cleanse conclusion post.
will wait for the answer! and by the way, i’ve rarely (if ever?) commented but your blog is a daily go to for photography and life inspiration. you are simply a light in the world. thank you for posting and finding the most amazing stories, causes, links, information to share with us. I heart you. xoxo
So, the last 2 days have been really hard on me. I wasn’t ever thinking about food the first week but now I think about it A LOT. I pretty much have had to stay out of the house from lunch until dinner and just bring an apple with me for a snack. Otherwise, I might eat a whole jar of almond or cashew butter and call it a snack.
I am very very very ready to be done. Today was day 13 for me. 8 more freaking days. Blah.
As far as my celebratory meal when this is over, I have been thinking long and hard about it. First things first, I might have 12 cups of coffee. I also really miss eggs, so I will be having eggs for breakfast. Lunch is at the most amazing taco place. Not sure what is for dinner but I will be having a huge slice of cake from one of my favorite restaurants here. But don’t worry, its gluten free! Ha. That is true, but I can only imagine the amount of sugar in it! And vodka. Lots and lots of vodka. Just because I can. I figure we shocked our bodies into this cleanse, we might as well shock the hell out of it on the way out.
