Cleanse Day Number 1  -  AGHHH!!   At least that’s how I felt the night before and probably still this morning!  It definitely wasn’t easy but it wasn’t too difficult either.

The Cleanse for Life drink started off my day.  I poured out 4 oz. from my single server bottles and noticed it almost looked like soda in the glass.  It’s pretty dark compared to what I pictured in my head, and it smelled like a cross between fruit punch and cough syrup.  For those that don’t know me, I HATE fruit punch!  BUT considering that fact, it really wasn’t that bad and by the fourth serving at the end of the day…I actually enjoyed it!  It could be because I decided to put it in a blender with a bunch of ice and turned it into a slushie!  I actually even “ate” it with a spoon, so somewhat convinced myself I was actually eating.  This is definitley my plan for tomorrow too!

slushie!

There are definitely a few things to note about today…no matter what I did, I just could not get warm…I was FREEZING!  I took multiple hot (scolding) showers and then ended up sticking myself in my bedroom with the electric heater!   It helped…so much it actually put me to sleep for about an hour!  Second, I experienced “niacin flush” after my second serving of Cleanse for Life.  It’s called flush because your skin gets red and hot.  I got it on my face and arms.  It lasted for almost a half hour, but it’s normal and nothing to worry about.  I just drank more water and it was gone just as quickly as it came on.   This should make for an interesting day at the office tomorrow!
