Young Living NEW 5-Day Nutritive Cleanse. Day FOUR complete!

Hey there! Thanks for stopping by! My name is Becky Olson and I am a Young Living Independent Distributor (#1480648).

Here I am on evening FOUR of the the NEW 5-Day Nutritive Cleanse by Young Living. Just one day left. Today I felt great and am ready to see how my body will adjust when I start eating solid foods again.

I weighed in this morning and am down another pound for a total of 5.5 pounds. While I should be excited about losing 5.5 pounds in three days, I was hoping for more than one pound moving on the scale. I am sore from lifting yesterday so I am thinking that I may have some water retention while those muscles are repairing themselves.

I completed the three "meals" of Digest + Cleanse (at least 30-60 minutes before the shake) and a big glass of water, Balance Complete Shake and 1-2 oz of Ningxia Red. I drank the recommended water in between meals but chose not to do the snacks.

The hunger between meals is decreasing. I'm not sure if my body is used to it or if it's more mental will power. Either way, I'm glad I chose to do the first five days without the optional snacks.

I am still not experiencing the gas and bloating more than usual. A little nervous to start introducing real foods back into my body and what will happen. I plan on easing back into it with still doing a shake or two a day.

Stay tuned for day FIVE, the last and final cleanse day! It's supposed to bring no cravings and have you fully prepared to put healthy food choices into your body! CAN'T WAIT!

If you are planning on continuing with the next phase, you should look into the Core Supplement Kit. It includes the Core Essentials Complete, which are: Longevity, True Source, OmegaGize, and Life 5. Along with Ningxia Red and Balance Complete.

Young Living NEW 5-Day Nutritive Cleanse

It's HEEEERRRREEE! My NEW 5-Day Nutritive Cleanse by Young Living has arrived! I had to jump in and read all the info to prepare for tomorrow!! Barrett and I are both going to be doing this for the next 5 days! I am excited to kick start my metabolism, curb my cravings and lose some weight! I'll be posting video diaries for each day so you can follow along on our journey! Here's hoping we aren't totally crabby and angry with each other the whole 5 days. I think not eating real food may actually be the scariest part of this whole thing. But I love that we are going to try it together!

Christmas Scented Playdough!

So I'll be the first to admit I'm not a huge fan of Pinterest. I'm the best case scenario of the Pinterest fails. I have avoided that site for years because I have a tendency to try everything and I really don't have the time!! 

But I got suckered in with the Playdough that you can scent with oils! The recipe said peace and calming but I switched it up. I made one of our advent calendar activities Christmas scented Playdough. I let the boys pick the "flavors" and colors. I had mixed emotions about food coloring the dough so I at least had them wear rubber gloves when mixing!

Here is the recipe: (I quadrupled this to make 4 different options)

1/2 cup water

1 tablespoon vegetable oil 

1/2 cup flour

1/4 salt

2 teaspoons cream of tartar

Oils of your choice 

Food coloring (optional)

Mix all ingredients in a saucepan or stockpot until the batter is smooth. No lumps.

Place on the stove on medium heat and stir CONTINUOUSLY! (Like put your fitbit on this wrist and stir!). Your batter will start to form one big ball.

Remove from heat and let it cool enough to the touch. Form one ball and divide if you want to make multiple colors or scents.

Place each ball into a bowl and make a well in the middle. Drop your food coloring and oils in the well and then knead with your hands. (Wear rubber gloves if you add the dye!).

I let them pick the oils and colors. 

Red = Christmas Spirit

Blue = Believe

Black = Valor (Parker picked because of the black spruce)

Green = pine and peppermint

Yellow = Joy

Once mixed you are all ready to play! I busted out the Christmas cookie cutters for the boys and they loved it! It's been a couple of days and they are still making things for me! And the playdough smells amazing!! I wanted to take the Valor one to work with me!
