after I finished the cleanse, I continued to drink two smoothies per day and enjoyed it. I found that I didn't have to think about what to have for lunch because when I made the smoothies in the morning there was always enough for two smoothies. It was difficult when I went on vacation for two weeks. The first week was on a cruise and my cabin mates were supportive of making our own smoothies. One of them even brought a Magic Bullet blender but we couldn't really find any ingredients to make the smoothies. I ended up just really watching what I ate. For breakfast I had boiled eggs and fruit. I tried to eat as much salad and veggies as possible. I did okay and kept the weight off that I lost.
I'm pretty happy with the FB group from JJ Smith that has over 300,000 members in it. They post inspirational photos and stories every day. One thing they posted was the benefits of drinking apple cider vinegar, water and fresh lemon juice in the morning.
I drink a tall glass of water (10-12 oz) with two table spoons of the apple cider vinegar, the juice from one lemon and three packages of Stevia. I hate lemons and I hate vinegar but the Stevia makes it doable.
Today I started the challenge again. The FB group announced a few weeks ago that they were starting it today so there are likely thousands of us all in the same boat. I like that. I like the community. Unfortunately, I won't be able to eat the Easter meal at my mom's house. I did the same at New Year's and survived. I just recall how happy I was when I could fit into clothes that previously didn't fit.
