Packing...never ending

Juicing update:  So, I completed my 3 day juice cleanse and I  must say it was not that bad. It was rough at moments, but all in all it went great. The juices were very tasty and at times annoyingly cold. lol! I really loved them all especially the Cashew Milk. Yum! I also had a host of room temp lemon water and herbal tea, and the bathroom is now my best friend...sorry, Marlin. :) How do I feel? I feel much lighter and much healthier. Lost 9 pounds, which I know at least 4 or 5 will come back after adding solid food. My advice: Don't do a cleanse to lose weight, but do a cleanse to give your digestive system a rest, clean your blood, and cut the cravings. It works! I think I will do another 3 days in March. That's it! 

Have A Fabulous Superbowl Weekend! 

No nachos or chili for me...

And I'm off and running...
