I sat early morning contemplating a cleanse day. Today seemed logical. I had to work a long and late day. I really would not have time for a full meal until after 9pm. Which is too late to be eating a meal.
So I went for it!
To break down why I chose Isagenix to detox, cleanse and reset my system for 30 days:
why detox, and cleanse
After reading a bit more about cleanse days, I found a list of things I can do to make it more smooth.

By that mid day 3pm, usual sleepy time. Surprising, I had really good energy going. I think the snacks, every 2-3 hours is working well. I ate an apple this time, a few cucumber slices and a couple sticks of celery, and never really hit a wall, even when I worked until 9:30pm!
My downfall of the day.. Hitting the grocery store at 10am. I had planned some meals the next week and decided It would be a good day to go ahead and get those... you KNOW, because I am on this new life change path situation. Actually planning ahead and not "grabbing and going", you know, it's the new trend... *wink
The growling stomach in the grocery store, is never good. Momma said.... never go to the store hungry. Oops!
I swear, I could smell the ice cream in the freezer section! Crud...
My conversation in my head: Okay, I have the list. I'll be shopping the perimeter of the store. That's good. I won't be tempted by the pop tarts, and cereal and pizza. I'm not hungry anyway. Im strong. I am cleansing! Look at me.... the cleanser, shopping for veggies, fruit, whole food and oh man, did you see that lady get that cake? I wonder if its the whipped frosting or sugar frosting. Shut up Heather, walk the other way. Okay....look how pretty all the colors are. I love veggies. I wonder what I can dip them in? French onion dip? HEATHER..... NOOOOOOO . Can I dip them in salsa? Salsa is good, right? Veggies! Okay, now lets find the raw almonds..... yeah, siracha almonds, dark chocolate almonds, sea salt caramel almonds, raspberry almonds, peanut butter almonds..... HUH? I gotta try those.. wait, no... "
Well, the good news, my grocery bill was the lowest it's been in months!!!!
Sucked down a lot of water today... still not hitting the 80 oz of water.... but very close!
Cleanse day, number 2 is in the books and I'll write it off as a total success!! I am still sleeping well... and I have a lot going on in my life right now, that has my mind occupied. I am a chronic insomniac, and struggle with sleep. I can honestly say, I feel really rested for once in my life!
My lucky 9 ball day! 🎱
