Day 3 No Alcohol Challenge

Yesterday was Day 3 of my #30DaysNoAlcoholChallenge. So, since it's been 72 hours, all the alcohol should now be out of my system.



I have to say, Monday and Tuesday, I felt like someone ran over me with a Mack truck! I felt like I had the flu. Totally drained! #holycrapbatman I could have slept for three days. Seriously......

I've been drinking tons of water and all indications (ahem) seem to say I'm hydrated, so that's good. I gave up my Diet Coke habit of many long years almost two months ago, so that helps.

Last night was the first time I reeeeeaallly wanted a glass of wine. My husband bowls on Tuesday nights and my ritual is to watch my shows with a "few" glasses of wine. I'm not sure whether it was a real craving I was experiencing or habit, but I used the time giving myself a facial instead.

Differences I'm noticing...
  • my face and neck looks less puffy/bloated
  • the darkness under my eyes is lighter (not gone yet though)
  • my legs don't hurt/cramp at night

I hope to GAWD this fatigue subsides soon. I need my brain back. Please!?!?!?

Cheers,
Dana

The Cleaner for Women Detox Review

Image
This will be a seven day detox program. I decided that before I start taking iodine for a bromine detox, I'd empty everything out of my system that could get in the way of releasing the toxins out of my body. I do not want the toxins hanging around making me feel sick. I'm not usually "regular", so there is a good chance that I could get sick from the detox. Besides, I just got back from traveling where I don't eat the best or move enough, so a good  cleaning out would do me good. :) I am using The Cleaner by Century pharmaceuticals. I bought it at GNC and paid way too much, apparently. Day One - Monday, March 9 Because I am very sensitive to drugs, I took 2 pills at 1pm, then 1 pill at 3pm instead of the 4 that the directions say to take at bedtime. I didn't experience any cramping. No bloating.  No bad taste. No runs to the bathroom, basically no side effects the first day.   Day Two - Tuesday, March 10 Had to go to the bathroom in the morning
