So day 3 (Friday), yum yum I got to eat a meal...

Again it's not been too hard, I hardly touched the free food I could munch throughout the day at all, as I was allowed 2 shakes today one for breakfast and one for lunch.

I've been busy in the garden today and didn't feel the need to take many breaks - I actually feel quite energetic, which I thought I wouldn't be after 3 days of hardly any food.

So today's in take;

Breakfast - Garcinia tablets, 120ml Aloe Gel, forever therm and a plain vanilla shake.

Mid -morning - Fibre sachet in water.

Lunch - Garcinia tablets, Vanilla Shake with 192grams Blueberries and handful of Spinach and the forever Therm tablet

Tea - Garcinia tablets and my meal which was a bit of a medley throw together to be honest - but included 2 flat mushrooms, Brown rice, Spinach, some red onion, sweetcorn, vegetable stock, Quorn pieces, Tomato Puree and some mushy peas on the side - it came in at 571 calories - nothing special to look at - but it tasted extremely yummy...and I couldn't eat it all...

Day 2 (Thursday) - so much easier than day 1, even getting used to the amount of gel.

Same principal as yesterday - but looking forward to being able to introduce a 600 calorie meal tomorrow!

Free food I munched on today were;
In my shake I had 130gms of raspberries and some spinach and then I picked at 14 sugar snap pea pods, celery, cucumber and a pepper today.

I didn't find myself going for as much of a wee today, but still more than normal.

I even managed to avoid the homemade lime and coconut cake, pretzels and chocolate biscuits floating around the office today - I feel very proud of myself!

I ended the day with a bit of a headache, but I had had 2 long days in a row, so can't quite put it down to anything to do with the C9  - looking forward to a 4 day weekend now!

This program also encourages you to increase your exercise, so on day one and two I have split my 30 minutes exercise up in to 2 x 15 minutes of quick walking, just to fit it in with my busy days - over the next few days I have lots of gardening and DIY to be flexing my muscles at. 

​Roll on day 3!!

Boo Hoo, So I've been having technical difficulties and it wiped all my previous blog from Wednesday - So I'll try and remember what I wrote.

So Day 1 - I purposely chose a couple of busy days to do the day 1 & 2 of this program on, as they are said to be the hardest. I'm quite a foodie and therefore thought if I was busy I'd not mind so much that I wasn't going to be eating as much.

The first 2 days are classed as reset days for your digestion - so here is what I had to do.

Morning 2 x garcinia tablets, a forever Therm tablet and some free food. 120ml of Aloe gel and lots of water...
mid morning - fibre sachet dissolved in water
Lunch, 2 x garcinia tablets, a forever Therm tablet, 120ml Aloe Vera, an Ultra light shake which I used some of my free food to bulk out (8 strawberries and some spinach) and lots more water.
Dinner 2 x Garcinia tablets, 120ml Aloe vera Gel, some more water
bedtime 120ml of Aloe Gel and water

the free foods i munched on throughout the day to curb hunger was;
spinach, lettuce, a tomato, a pepper, cucumber and celery (plus what went in the shake)

So was I hungry? Not as bad as I thought I was going to be. The church where I rent my room have a lunch on a Wednesday, that normally smells lovely - but it has never smelt so good as Wednesday...I found myself with different tastes in my mouth like I was craving, however I'm very aware it's part of that 'I can't have it so I want it stuff!', so i just munched on my free foods and kept my self distracted.

Side effects - too much information I know, but I wee'd for Britain!! I guess it was my body geeting rid of all of it's toxins and stuff.

How I felt? A bit fed up of the Aloe gel, but I know that day 3 that becomes less and it's doing my insides the world of good, plus it helped curb some of the hunger.

All in all not a bad day and took myself off to bed with an aloe blossom tea...

So, those who know me and or have used my services know that I'm very passionate about well-being and after a few years of looking, I've found a product I really believe gives so many people health, well-being and most of all hope - and therefore made the decision to add it to my range.

So, Forever Living...who are they?

- They are a company who have been going for almost 40 years.

- They are Aloe Vera based and own over 60% of the worlds Aloe.

- They are so confident about their products that they offer a 60 day money back guarantee (how many other companies do you know who offer that!?)

- They have head offices in over 150 different countries

Forever’s product range includes: • Health and nutrition • Weight management • Sports and fitness • Personal care • Skincare and beauty • Animal and home

So anyway, as I've been getting to know these products myself I can honestly say I will never go back to shop bought toothpaste, shampoo/conditioner and deodorant again - why? because I just feel so so clean and healthy!

In amongst this getting to the know the products, I decided to find out about their 9 day Cleanse program as I'd heard about it a few years ago and kept seeing people post their pictures on social media, but mostly a couple of friends had said how it had helped them.

So the Clean 9 what does it involve - well follow my journey day by day and I'll let you know...
