Mostly I tried to follow my gut instinct and also had some coaching from Katie at Rooted Wellbeing on sample items to eat to start integrating things like corn, meat and dairy back into my diet. And also she gave ideas on how to keep some of the GREAT habits going as well. I feel fully prepared to make some great changes and again, today I felt great!
One of the most surprising things about the cleanse are the things I crave the LEAST. Those are caffeine and sugar - which if you know me, were two of my MAIN FOOD GROUPS before this cleanse. Coffee, diet coke, candy and sweets are my favorites. And while I have no doubt that I will eat and drink these things again (in moderation) for now, I'm going to keep away from them. (I'm even shocked that I am typing that right now!) It's really amazing!
Now for the good stuff! I am giving away ONE 7-Day Cleanse from Rooted Wellbeing (the same program I just did) to one of my readers, a $127 value!

Yes! I need this! Feeling sluggish and tummy weirdness and been wanting to do a cleanse for some time! thanks!
I would love this! I have been wanting to do a cleanse for a while and this would be just what I need to start :)
Yup, caffeine and sweets are food groups for me too! I would really like to try this to see if it works for me.

I've heard so much about cleanses for so long. I've been so reluctant to try them because they include powders to mix in water or other stuff to drink. This seems much more whole food based. It makes sense and sounds like it would give me a boost to how I'm trying to live and eat and be more in touch with what my body wants and needs.
i want to try cuz nothing has worked so far....worth a shot!

I really think that this is what I need to kick start myself back into the uber healthy choices I used to make. I've had a hard time coming out of that rut and lately, I just feel so sluggish and all my mind craves is sweet and salty. After reading your daily posts, I am super intrigued.

I have felt so sluggish lately, no energy and rather snippy with my kid/self/spouse...my blood work is all good, so I am assuming this could be just what I need! Thanks for the opportunity!

I have been wanting to do a cleanse for a while to help me quit my sugar addiction. I feel so tired and sluggish when 3:00 p.m. rolls around and always end up searching for some sugar.
I would love to try a cleanse. I really feel like I could use a fresh start and even though I know it will be challenging I feel like now is a good time for me. My daughter is 5 months old now so it is TIME! Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us! I also "liked" Rooted Wellbeing on Facebook!
I need this cleanse! I am tired all the time, addicted to caffeine and sugar, and ready for a fresh start. Pick me, please! admcgovern@gmail.com
I follow your blog daily and I was so excited when I saw that you were doing a cleanse. I am a photographer and mother of 3. I have been feeling super tired and I am sick of being a sugar addict! I was looking around for cleanse info when I saw your post. I would love to try a cleanse! I will admit that after 38 1/2 years, all of my bad habits of eating whatever I want, drinking lots of coffee, and eating tons of sugar is catching up with me. I would love a fresh start and recharge my body. I have 3 boys to keep up with afterall!
I've wanted to try a good, comprehensive cleanse for a while now because I feel my body, skin, mind & spirit could really benefit. I have managed to quit caffeine on my own (yay me!) but am really struggling with quitting bread & sugar. Hopefully a cleanse like this could help propel me to the next step in facilitating a lifestyle change!

I Liked them on facebook. I cant go into to much detail but I have been having motility (digestive) issues for a year and a half now. I have been commuting to San Francisco for the past few months doing extensive testing. I would love to try something natural, who knows it may help. Thank you for giving me the chance to enter this giveaway!
I desperately need a cleanse - when you have a couple of kids and a busy life you grab what you can and then you end up having such a poor diet. My body is craving a cleanse from caffeine and wheat.

What a great giveaway! Thanks to the both of you! I'd love to do a cleanse and see how my body reacts. Especially after a weekend of camping for the 4th!
I would definitely like to throw my name in the hat for this one. As I have commented previously, I have always wanted to try a cleanse and I'm pretty much down for anything you endorse!

I"m not on FB :( so I guess I can't enter, but if I were I would say the reason for me to do the cleanse would be to vastly increase my fruits and veggie intake. I buy them religiously for my family, but I'm not so good at eating them myself. I'm such a cheese and bread eater. You've inspired me to change that!
Such a nice giveaway - and good job to you for sticking with it!
This cleanse seems so doable, which most cleanses just seem ridiculous! I would love to try this to feel more energetic and for a much needed change.

Seven days seems reasonable for me. I am interested in the increased energy (I am also a coffee addict) and a bit of weight loss wouldn't hurt.
I work for a CSA farm and love veggies but I'm eating lots of other foods that are making me feel like crud. I've tried to eat clean and feel great for most of the day but always end up with a headache revert back to the old habits. I want to get healthy and know what the heck is going on. jennifer.woods @ gmail.com
I would love to try the Rooted Wellbeing cleanse. Not only have I closely followed your experience this week and learned from it, but I also could use a detox from sugar and caffeine. Thanks! arichwakefield@gmail.com
I need to lose those last few stubborn pounds! I did a fast at the begining of the year and felst great! I have always wanted to try a cleanse! Thanks!

I started fitness boot camp in May (am now halfway through with my second round of it) and am enjoying seeing and feeling the results of it. However, I'm trying to work on my diet as well, particularly my sweet tooth. The cleanse sounds like it would be just the kickstart my body needs to reboot my system and get the sugar cravings under control (or perhaps done away with altogether!). Thanks for the opportunity!

I am a runner, and try to watch what I eat- but like you I love coffee and candy- I think they are my two food groups! Scary! I would love to win to try the cleans because it seems healthy, balanced, and possible to complete.
I liked them on face book. I am a mom of two young childrend with a serious diet coke habit. Would love to stop and set a better example for my kids.
I just tweeted about your give away! Hopefully it helps:

Yes! I have been wanting to start a cleanse for a while now but have not found the right one for my body or my pocketbook!
I'm getting married in a few months and I'm really needing something to kick-start my pre-wedding diet. But not just for the wedding, but for the rest of my life. I am a generally healthy person who works out 3-4 a week, but I just haven't been able to get myself past this plateau for the past year. Reading about your cleanse has been inspiring me to try something new as well, and it would be such a blessing to be able to do this cleanse! Engagement pictures are in a month, and I'd like to look even healthier for those as well!
Thanks for offering this, Jill!
Thanks for the great giveaway! I have been wanting to try a cleanse. I feel a little sluggish most days, love sweets and need to drop a few pounds too!
I do need to rethink my eating and diet habits and this would be a great first start. I've followed yours with great interest and hope to try this soon!

Liked on Facebook! I just finished nursing my daughter, so I can finally do a cleanse! I too would love to end my addiction to sugar.
I really need this to get my energy back. I would love the change to try it.
I would love to win this one - Since transitioning back to the working world everything has been off, I would love to get some energy back, stop relying on sugar so much and get a good nights sleep. This just may be what my body is looking for. I like them on FB!
i would love to try this! i liked it on facebook!!!

this would be awesome to try. I have a 3 year old and a 6 month old and I am always so tired and sluggish- it would be great to break my dependence on sugar and caffeine! thanks for the inspiration and opportunity

I would love to start a cleanse and feel like its just what I need to get out of a bad-eating and drinking rut I'm in. Too much caffeine and sweets!
I would love to try this cleanse as a way to give my body a fresh start and help stave off some hereditary digestive issues.
I have been wanting to try a cleanse but have been scared because honest reviews are hard to find. I have been trying to do "clean eating" but would love a jump start with the 7 day cleanse :)
I would love this. I'm a teacher and I've decided this is my "summer of health"...I'm using my time off to listen to my body and give it what it needs!
-Carrie
I too am addicted to sugar and caffeine and would love something to help me kick these bad habits!
I have been looking for something like this for awhile now! I'm very active but need to cut my cravings and get my eating under control!
Liking done on FB
I really would like to try it, never done cleaning before, so really curious about it.
I have wanted to make some changes in my life lately. My lack of energy results in a heavy reliance on caffeine and sugar. I know these things are bad for me and I need a good kick in the butt to get started in the right direction. I hoping this cleanse will restore some of my energy and put me back on track to a healthier life style.
I am interested in all things "healthy & cheerful"! And even though I love all things "not-so-healthy", I am always looking to incorporate better decision-making into my life. This cleanse seems like a jumpstart in the right direction.
I need this.. all I eat is junk and junk is all I think about. Both dates work great for me. I am a fan of her already on face book and just can't afford the cleanse right now. Fingers Crossed.
