Herbal Cleanse

When people visit my page for the first time, they usually click on my Weight Loss tab. I wouldn't say that this is a weight loss blog or really any kind of specific blog-- just Holly-is-all-over-the-place-mom-blog.

But I will say that my readership went from 100 hits a day to 3,000 hits a day when I started talking about my inner fat girl. The most frequent type of email I receive is, "What kind of cleanse did you do?" 

About six weeks after Olive, I had noticed that I was starting to gain weight. Granted, I would nurse her twice a night and then wake up and toast five slices of raisin bread with real butter.

I had seen one of my friends on facebook talk about an Herbal Cleanse that they did through Advocare. I am not one to take shortcuts... and this isn't magic shakes in a box. It's a basic fiber shake that you take over a period of 10 days, as well as some vitamins to restore your digestive system.

Fiber drinks, water, eating super-Mr.Clean.

Basically, it helps get rid of that poo baby you have goin' on.

In 10 days, I had lost 10 pounds. You can see my results HERE.

More than just flushing out the old, it was a great discipline to re-train my taste buds, so to speak.

Anyway, I have been feeling really bloated and retaining a little more water than normal. I am a strick only-water drinker, who easily gets in about 80oz a day. But my eating has sucked. When I was younger, my grandmother that we had to refer as our aunt, would tell my cousin and I (are you still following?), in a thick Spanish accent, "You are not garbage disposals, you don't need to  eat everything in sight."

So I am going to re-do the cleanse starting next month. 

Herbal cleanse for me. Spark for Chris so that he will stop drinking Mt. Dew all the damn time. But Spark is good too, especially if you are someone that needs a little caffeine during the day.

I don't expect to lose 10 pounds. I am thinking it will be around three-four. But I know I will feel so much better afterwards.

If you're interested in doing an Herbal Cleanse, I bought (and paid full price) for this one through my real life friend, Molly Hall. Her email is: mollyhall24(at)yahoo(dot)com

It's $31.50 plus shipping.

You can also check out what to eat/not eat while on the 10 day cleanse HERE.
