End of the cleanse...

Ok so I didn't go as long as I would have liked on the master cleanse butttt I did get a great head start for my weight loss goal :) I completed day 7 and lost a total of. . .  10 POUNDS! ! ! DOUBLE YAY This has been the hardest cleanse because my house has been all of a sudden turned into a Bolivian restaurant! Its like everything and everyone turned on me when I decided to do the cleanse, If there is one thing you neeeeeeeeed to know about Bolivian cooking its that the smells are what grab you and make you hungry. My mom rarely cooks Bolivian comfort food since we've moved here but this week was something special every single day >_<

I felt like I was dying LOL I stayed in my room most of the time with orange peel in my nose to block out the mouth watering aromas. I am very proud of myself for being able to complete a week jeje Now im going to be on liquids for another week just to get my body slowly used to eating regular again.

One thing Ive decided to try which is HUGE for me is going Vegetarian. SAY WHAT! about 5 years ago this word wasn't even part of my vocabulary, but something in my diet needs to change if I'm going to maintain a healthy lifestyle andddddd *fit into my wedding dress* LOL

I might try doing the lemonade again in about 3 months or so, but for now I'll stick to fruit smoothies and soup LOL

  7. Wow, that is an amazing amount of change ~ isn't life tremendous fun? :) Sorry, I tried not to giggle as I read all about your mom cooking up one delicious meal after another, a little bit like torture, right? Well, it did test your resolve, good for you getting through an entire week! I'll have to be sure to post more vegan recipes soon, once I get back on track! :) Oh, and Jordan's going to be so jealous ~ she's been itching to get at some black henna, but has yet to save up the money! Looks great on you! :)
