Re-cap of first day on Candida cleanse

Wednesday, December 9, 2009 at 09:46 AM

Good morning friends,

How is everyone’s Wednesday going? Good I hope! :)

Our morning as been going great because we made some of these yummy treats

IMG_2230You may have saw us Tweet these this morning…a new holiday flavor to sell this weekend at the farmers market! And yes we will share the recipe with you all later : ) And yes this is not part of the Candida cleanse, Michelle such a small swipe to ensure taste, and it was hard for her not to keep eating. Anything mint or peppermint is her fav : )

Re-cap of our eats from yesterday

Morning: romaine,grapefruit, chia seeds, and ginger smoothie

Snack: a glass of homemade water kefir

Today’s meals were all simple, easy and delicious! :) So far day 1 of cleanse is going well. We also took all the ‘extra’ supplements throughout the day.

We decided to end our night with coconut milk. Last night on twitter we mentioned that we were going to make some. Now we made ours a little different than how Michelle learned at school

*again this picture from Michelle’s class when she learned how to make

After debating on how we will go about making our own coconut milk without cracking open a ton of mature coconuts. Because as Michelle learned in school they are not fun to open!!!! Therefore we decided to try being a little lazy creative ;) we used plain spring water with coconut butter to our vita-mix and blended till smooth. Overall outcome…. not bad. Needs a little work though we did not add anything else to it like vanilla, salt, or sweetener.

We ended up adding stevia and cinnamon!

Twins Workout:

  • 40 minutes of yoga
  • push-ups, abs, and leg exercises

How we are feeling/doing:

Overall first day we went well! Though we did not drink a lot of water so tummy did get a little bloated as the night went on. We think it was from our colonics getting things stirred up inside us!

Our energy levels were good we managed to get a good bit of work done. Though I did start to break down again last night while I was washing my face but kept telling myself I am healing and my face will get better!

Well time to get back to work. And don’t forget about our first giveaway!

Till next time,

The Twins

    Hey Twins!
    Glad to see your day 1 went well! I have a question for you: Do you think the colonics are effective? I’ve had 1 (albeit it wasn’t a gravity colonic) before and had NO success with it (in literal and figurative senses). Do you find it’s actually helping you? Are you having “success” with them? I’m just trying to gauge whether I should give it another go-round…
    Thanks for any feedback!
