Purification Day 7-8-9-10-11-12 While My Family Survived The Flu

Do well people get sick? Uh yeah! Just usually not as often, for not as long and with less intense symptoms.

I remember the "Annual Family Flu Fest". Every year (even a couple times a year) the family would decide to support each other by getting the flu at the same time.

Moms out there know exactly what I am talking about...my head hurts, my stomach hurts...I think... I'm going to be....s-i-c-k! Make it to the BATHROOM PLEASE!

Last week it started with my youngest, hit my 8 year by Wednesday, 11 year and husband by Thursday...but interesting thing I missed it all ;0)

...and what my family did experience was so mild. Sore throat, low grade fever, mild headache. My little guy threw up twice. He quickly learned to spit not swallow. (Again moms get this). The rest of the clan took a wonderful whole food supplement that cleared things up in a day or two.

So do I think I avoided the "ick"? Water, Purification Whole Foods and the absence of sugar.

Sugar can cut your immunities in 1/2!

I was never so happy to be on my purification!

So, let me catch you up. I will post the daily journal entries below for those keeping track. I am also posting some pictures of my meals. It was easier to take a picture than write things down. I will also include the Peanut Butter Jammies I made for my family. (If you are on the cleanse now and feeling tempted...close your eyes!

The #1 "No No" that I did was stop eating. I was so busy that I did not have the supplies in the house that I needed and I was so busy caring for everyone else I didn't take care of myself by getting enough calories. WARNING: You will not lose weight if you do not eat calories. If your goal is to lose some weight on the purification, you must put fuel in the tank. I made this mistake in my first cleanse .

The new thing I added? EXERCISE! If you are used to an exercise regime there is no need to stop during the purification. In fact we have whey protein you can add to get up your energy. However, if you are not used to exercise, the suggestion would be that you focus on the purification and gradually has exercise in.

I cheated...You will see that I have been treating myself with dates (2). These ARE NOT on the cleanse. Not because dates are bad for you, but dried fruit is not on the cleanse because it traditionally is loaded with extra sugar.
