Usually the first day of the cleanse is the harder one for me. I do just fine all day long, keeping myself busy and enjoying the snacks and IsaDelights (chocolates).
It becomes a bit more of a challenge that day when I have to make dinner for my family. I coach a lot of moms on this program, and my advice is to never make your favorite meals for your family when you're cleansing.
I do follow this, and I also recommend that if it is really difficult, leave the house and take a walk or use that time to run to the gym. This is temporary - and the benefits FAR out-weigh a few sacrifices for long-term health benefits :)
SO..........another tip is to go to bed early on cleanse days. My body is working so hard on the inside, I start to feel really tired around 9 pm. The other advantage to this is I am less tempted to snack if I were to stay awake.
Well, tomorrow is my half-way point and I get to weigh and measure! Usually I notice my energy increase on that day -- but I already feel better today!
I noticed how easily I woke up, felt really good, and was ready to start my day getting the kids off to school!
