I am excited :) Just like with my past three cleanses, I’ve decided sort of spontaneously to start. I think that’s how it works well for me – I just know when I’m ready.
The first time I did the cleanse, I did 22 days, the 2nd 6 days (spontaneity can sometimes equal poor timing), the last 10. I’d like to go as long as I can this time, minimum 10 days.
I actually had a bit of a stomach bug, and so haven’t eat more than two slices of bread in three days – in addition to galloons of decaf tea – so I think that it will be an easy segue in. Caffeine withdrawal hit me hard the last two times, so I’m so glad that should a bit easier this time through.
Anyway, I’ll probably be posting along the way, but whether I do or not – best of luck to everyone currently on the cleanse or just thinking of it!

Hello all, just starting on the cleanse today!
I did my first cleanse back in July for 22 days and have never, ever felt better. In November, I attempted to cleanse again, but didn’t plan well and realized ten days would land me the day before Thanksgiving. Daunted by thoughts of obnoxious extended family members urging me to eat and the fact that Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, I decided to only do six days. Now, I am back to attack! I’m hoping to do at least twenty days this time through, but we’ll see how it goes.
Glad to have a few other people all roughly starting around the same time as me….
Best of luck to everyone, whatever day you’re on!!
Back in the saddle! I did my first cleanse over the summer, made it 22 days and I have quite honestly never felt better.
So here I go again! Wish me luck; I’m struggling a bit more this time through…
