DAY 3 – Cleansing Day – Tuesday 10^th October 2006

Today is my first ever cleansing day. I woke up feeling really nervous. This is my first body detoxification, and I really don’t know what to expect. On top of that, I did not realize I cannot eat a meal! I have never been without food for more than a few hours, much less a whole day! I am wondering how I am going to feel, if I will faint from lack of food or energy. The pamphlet that comes with the program has never left my side since I started, and I refer back to it every minute to make sure I am doing everything correctly.

Cleanse day consists of mixing 4 ounces of the cleansing liquid in an 8oz glass of ice cold water and drinking this 4 times a day. I also take 1 natural accelerator capsule twice a day, and as always, plenty of water.

The thought of only drinking water mixed with the cleansing liquid 4 times a day seems very foreign to me.

The pamphlet says to help curve cravings; I can eat the ISAGENIX Snacks which are chewable tablets. I am allowed 6 tablets a day during my cleansing regime.

I drank a glass of cold water mixed with the cleansing liquid for breakfast. The cleansing liquid comes in Mixed Berry or Tropical Paradise flavours. I chose the Tropical Paradise flavour. It has a pleasant taste. So far it’s been a few hours since I had my first serving, and I must admit I feel pretty good. Usually by now, I would be munching on some grapes or eating my fruit salad, but I don’t have that urge.

Lunch consisted of another glass of cleansing formula, my second accelerator capsule and more water. During the afternoon, I started to feed a little hungry, so I ate 2 more chewable tablets to help curve my hunger and a few slices of apple.

As previously mentioned, today is also my body blast class at my gym. This class is an hour-long continuous combination of cardio and weight training exercises.

I always try to make sure I eat a substantial lunch before I go to my exercise class in the evenings. I was having reservations about going to the gym because I only had liquids during the day. I really thought I would not feel well because of the high intensity level of the class. I than reminded myself to stop being so negative and try it out. The only way I would know if I could still do the class was to try it, and if I felt I could not go on, just stop.

Not knowing what to expect, I decided to do the class and I am happy to report, that I survived the class. Not only did I complete the class, I attacked each exercise with the same intensity level I would give if I had eaten a meal for lunch! I felt really good. I did not feel dizzy or nauseous. This product is truly awesome!

I came home from the gym and had my 4^th and final cleansing mix for the day, some more water, a few grapes (only a few) and than I went to bed.
