Lets just get your first question out of the way... Will I poop my pants??? I can't be on the toilet all day!!! Poop poop poop! *GASP* yes I said the P word. We all know that's the first thing you all want to know about because that's how I was when I did my first 10 day cleanse. I was scared. I have IBS anyways so yeah it's a part of my life. TMI you might say but you'll thank me.
If you are uncomfy with this bathroom talk sorry! Maybe. ;)
I did the 24 day challenge back in August last year preparing for the wedding. I had already tried Spark because my dad rocks and sent me some. Look back on some post from when I started drinking Spark. Life changer!
The first 10 days of the 24 day challenge is the cleanse phase. Days 11-24 is the max phase. Loved it and great results.
I decide to be crazy and do another 10 day cleanse 10 days before we left on our cruise for the wedding. Smart and great idea!
What I learned is how to eat healthy and clean. How to enjoy working out and sweating made me happy. I slept better and was full throughout the day and not craving crap. I love turkey burgers, turkey sausage and ground turkey. It's easy to cook and so much better for you. Veggies and fruit were never an issue for me. I did branch out and try new things. Very thankful for that! You never know until you try! Believe me... I have texture issues and do not like my food looking odd.
With the 10 day cleanse you get to drink (chug) the fiber drink for days 1-3 and then you are off the nasty drink on days 4,5, 6 and 7. Days 8,9 and 10 the dreaded fiber drink is back. Blah.
It's really not that bad if you just down it quick. The powder fiber drink mixes with 8 oz of water. Then you CHUG!!! I prefer to use a straw. Once again... I have texture issues. After you drink your fiber drink you drink 8oz of water or a drinking class full... Whatever works. Then you get to eat 30 minutes later!!
I'm writing a blog Tuesday on food ideas, meal prep and daily plan. You must plan so you won't fail! Trust me... Some days I don't have time to eat lunch but I have find time or make easy items for on the go. I need to eat healthy and not like crap.
Your typical funeral director... Older chubby man in a suit. We discussed this at work the other day and it's true.
The cleanse is pretty easy after day 3 and you are already feeling better. Spark is giving you energy, and you are eating healthy. On the right track!!
Big whamp whamp whamp coming... No dairy!! Ack! OMG!! WHAT!! Cheese!! I love cheese! And Greek yogurt.
10 days!!! Remember that!! You can make it!
**no booze*** wine and beer are my fave. I enjoy having a glass of wine at night. But for 10 days it'll be alright.
I'll finish up with the grand finale!!! Poop. Your poo will be like soft serve. No... I will not take credit for that. I was told by someone the whole texture of your poo.. TMI was going through my head the whole time but then I was thankful to know I wouldn't be sprinting to the bathroom with liquid lava. (Yes I talk like a little boy sometimes... You're thinking it anyways.) It wasn't bad at all. Nothing compared to what I've experienced in the past with my ibs.
Stay tuned for meal prep ideas and other 21 day cleanse tips.
