Day 4 No Alcohol Challenge

Yesterday was much better as far as the amount of fatigue. I made it through the afternoon without feeling like I had to have a nap. Not bursting with energy yet, but going in the right direction. 



I've been drinking cran-water, which is part of the #fatflush plan. Cran-water helps repair the liver by diluting the toxins that prevent bile from breaking down fats and sludge in the liver and gallbladder. It also has potassium which is needed for liver health and gets depleted with alcohol abuse. 

I've had good results drinking cran-water in the past. It definitely helps with getting rid of bloat and water weight. 

Differences:
- I'd say the darkness under my eyes is about 80% gone. I need way more deep sleep to fully get rid of it completely 
- definitely sleeping better
- I'm not weighing myself, but I feel less bloated

Cheers,
Dana

The Cleaner for Women Detox Review

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
