Day one of the CLEANSE went well. No cravings- surprisingly!
The hardest part is the kiddos. They aren't too interested in a Hot Skillet Salad. And I know how hard it is to not take little bites! Stay strong! :)
Last night I made a big batch of Mexican Macaroni for them for this week.
Its full of veggies and they LOVE it!
Try hard not to cheat and take a bite!
