...And the cleanse becomes a way of living.

Our 4-week plan for a nutritional cleanse turned into a 2.5 week nutritional cleanse. This is due to both a vacation (and all that comes with trying to eat purely while on the road) and a discipline that is not fully mature. Rather than be discouraged with this change of plans, we are embracing it in this way: The nutritional cleanse served a benefit through starting the cleansing process within our bodies, BUT really by cultivating our discipline and jump-starting us both into a more pure way of eating. I'd like to take credit and say that I already ate this way, but honestly, I have not been faithful in this since my pregnancy, so I needed it as much as Michael. We now eat with conscious thought :)

Here is yet another HEALTHY BUT YUMMY RECIPE that you must try!:
