Last day of my juice cleanse! I have to say I was feeling pretty fabulous. I had heaps of energy, felt clean and light and was really alert. But it wasn't an easy take to get through the day.
Around lunchtime a few of the girls in the office went to get some salad. Man they looked amazing. I really wanted to have one! But instead I had my lovely repairing soup. It kept hungry at bay, but I still wanted a salad.
I managed to get through the whole day not cheating. It wasn't easy though. I'm really proud of myself for making it through not only did it really push my will power but I also feel amazing from it.
Overall this has been an amazing body experience. I feel fantastic! Plus I lost about 1.5kg, which is quite a lot for me and I wasn't expecting it either.
I didn't have too many detox symptoms. I did get a little bit nauseous a few times during the 3 days and had a little bit of a headache come and go, but not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I have to say I was worried about running to the bathroom all the time, but that didn't happen at all.
I think I'm going to start making my own fresh juices/smoothies to take to work during the week to keep up what I started with the UR cleanse, so watch this space for an up-coming post on post-juice cleanse Nat!
I'm definitely going to be doing another cleanse. I would love to try a 5 day one. Now that would be a challenge!

Juice Cleanse Day 2. I'm not going to lie today was harder. Although I wasn't really hungry or tired I missed eating. But I didn't cheat! I figured anything in life that you need to work at has a better payout.
I have found my energy levels have been really good. I haven't been tired at all, which is fab and was one of the benefits I was really looking forward to.
I pretty much kept the timings the same as today only I swapped Juice 3 for Juice 5 because I really liked number 5 and felt like having it earlier in the day.
There was a point during the day when I saw everyone eating little snacks that I did feel very tempted but I managed to resist. Plus I had juice number 6 to look forward to! Yum Yum!
But I made it through the day feeling clean and energized! Bring on day 3.

Juice Cleanse Day 1. I was so excited when my Urban Remedy Juices showed up Sunday night, it was like Christmas. I wasn't really nervous about the cleanse or worried about how I wouldn't go not eating. I guess the payout of feeling amazing was enough incentive for me.
I started my day with hot water and lemon as recommend (I do this every morning anyway) and had my 1st juice at 9am when I got to work.
Can I say YUM! I loved this juice! it was really tasty and also really filling.
I had the 2nd juice at 11:30 am.
This one was really refreshing. I'm a huge lemon fan so I really liked it. It helped settle my stomach from the very filling 1st juice.
I had the 3rd juice at 1:30pm.
I have to say I wasn't a major fan of this one, which is weird because I like everything that's in it. So I only had about half of it.
I had the 4th juice at 3pm.
This one I really liked as well. It was really refreshing.
I had the 5th juice at 5pm.
It was really nice a good veggie infusion. I only had half though because I wanted to have some on number 6 to give myself a bit of an energy kick before pole.
And last but not least I had some of the 6th juice at 5:45pm.
OMG! This was the most amazing juice ever! It had a lovely flavor and really is a great way to end the day.
Not once during the day have I felt hungry which is amazing. I thought I would having lots of herbal tea to keep hunger at bay, but that wasn't the case. I also feel pretty good! I have quite a lot of energy and haven't really had any "detox" symptoms.
I'm looking forward to see how I feel tomorrow.
Nat xoxo
