The Cleanse - Day 3 - Delayed Takeoff

I remember watching the news when I was younger and seeing NASA shoot rockets into outer space. Mercury One was the first and there were many delays. There was an expectation that we were going to propel all that steel into the sky and orbit around the earth. There were delays. More than one delay would stop the countdown of that flight and then there were flights that were aborted, Flights that sadly ended in destruction as well.

We have learned a valuable lesson this year. One we want to share with you.

This one hasn't ended in destruction but, it could have if we were to give up. What we do about the delays in our life determines the total outcome of the flight we embark upon. This one has not ended but has been delayed. Why? just some simple lack of planning. Something which was assumed and found to be a wrong assumption.

What was the wrong assumption? It was this. When you are using the Cleanse capsules you need 21 per day or 7 three times a day.  When there are two of you that equates to 42 capsules per day. A bottle of capsules contains 150 each. 150 divided by 7 equals 21 doses with 3 capsules left over. Two people would require 3 1/2 days worth of capsules. We wanted to cleanse for 21 days which equals 882 capsules. That means we would need 6 bottles. We only had one. (See the Over 40 Fitness Tips site for details of the Cleanse Program)

So, after beginning the cleanse, on day three we notice we are 5 bottles short and off to the store we go. "SIGH", no more stock. None due in for a couple weeks. Now What?! We look for other stores that might have stock and we find one that will drop ship a supply. Great. However the stock has not shown up yet. This is now day 9 of the cleanse. So what to do???

I'm a computer nerd so this was appropriate.

Well, there really isn't a whole lot more you can do but to wait. Right?

No, we are not giving up that easy. We may have to wait on the supply of Cleanse capsules but we are going forward with the food regiment. Veggies, 3-4 ounces of protein per meal and the shakes twice a day are still in force. Even without the Cleanse capsules I have managed to lose 5 pounds. And when the capsules come in, I will start over with the Cleanse portion of herbs to help clean out the insides.

Delayed, but not aborted. We are determined to do this right the next time and we are looking forward to the time the shipment comes in. We have learned a valuable lesson about being prepared and we will be making sure we have the supplies we need before starting again soon. Which is hopefully this week.

Keep working towards a better and healthier lifestyle one day at a time. You won't regret it.
