master cleanse

At the end, almost, of day 11 and am just plugging along. Tomorrow will be my last day then will be on OJ the next, which is when I’ll be leaving on a 4-day road trip. Didn’t think that would be a good time to be doing a MC! Am really disappointed because everything was going in and coming out okay!! Oh well, there is always the next cleanse. May take this trip, go about another week and then do another 14 day cleanse. Just don’t feel like it was time to quit just yet, plus my tongue is still more white than pink so know there are still toxins in the system somewhere.

Have been wondering if anyone one else is out there? emh and bektoria, where are you????

The last two days have been sort of ho-hum with a few struggles today. My daughter had a softball game this morning and so went without lemonade, not because I couldn’t have drunk it down but because of where the bathroom facilities were located. Then we had a barbecue/birthday party this evening where the grilling smelled absolutely to die for. The birthday cake and ice cream looked luscious too. Oh, well.

Have decided to only go another 5 days this time around. Have had a 4-day trip come up and are leaving Thursday afternoon so that will be last day for a final SWF (they’re still icky, you know?) and lemonade until afternoon. Will try to stick to orange juice the next day and then eat as healthy as possible while eating out all our meals for two or three days.

Hope everyone is staying strong over the weekend. We’re all getting closer to the finish.

Well, I did some real purging today. Besides the SWF I got divorced so hope some of the emotional stress will be relieved. Everything went smoothly but I had to wait in court for 2 1/2 hrs before the case was called and that took another 1/2 hour so went a long time with NOTHING to drink, water or anything. Headache started coming on but went away when I started drinking (lemonade of course.) Had a bad moment driving home from my daughter’s gymnastics lesson tonite; we stopped and got her a Happy Meal and it was all I could do not to grab some french fries out of her hand. Know this cleanse would be easier for me if I didn’t have to cook/provide meals for others.

It’s early but have already drunk the tea and am hitting the sack. It’s still early but have not been sleeping well the last two nites and am hoping to get some needed rest so have already drunk tea and am heading to bed.

Am off my inhaler and other allergy medications so I already consider this cleanse a success. Know I didn’t drink enough lemonade today but for some reason water just tasted better today so still had plenty of liquid. Does the pepper bother anyone else’s mouth or lips? If so, you might try drinking from a straw. Somebody during one of my other cleanses suggested that and it really helps me. Also, to take a sip of water after drinking the lemon drink; it helps wash everything down while rinsing your mouth also. Just a thought. Take care everyone.

Had to check and see if there were any new posts this morning. So glad to see others are going strong and being so supportive to each other.

Have a good day all.

And today wasn’t very bad at all. SWF went down and worked within about 30 minutes. Headache is about gone and my tummy is hardly making any growling sounds now. Was busy all day so didn’t have much time to think about being hungry. Biggest mistake was turning on the food network; seems like I’m always drawn to that channel when cleansing. How are the rest of you doing? Was surprised there were no new postings today from anyone. . .

Almost done with day 3 and my stomach has growled all day and the headache is still there too. So, am looking forward to drinking tea and then sleeping (all night I hope.) Am glad others have started this journey cause we all know misery loves company. But day 5 WILL happen for all of us and then we can all feel good together. Except for emh who will already be on day 10 or so. Can’t wait; hang in there everyone.

And it’s like it always is with a headache (which I wouldn’t get if I didn’t eventually go back to chugging Diet Coke after every cleanse.) Not really hungry today, the SWF is a great appetite deterrent for me, but just want to eat something. Good to see emh posting and cleansing, it’s always nice to have company and know someone can empathize about the SWF with you!

And starting with the salt water tomorrow morning. Hope somebody else out there is doing the MC now and will start posting—-it always helps me to read how others are doing.

Am on day 4 of the post-cleanse phase and everything is going OK. Have stayed away from the Diet Coke and any other caffeine so that’s good. Am working on the eating habits. Can definitely sense that “full” feeling all throughout my system again. That’s a big thing I miss when not on the MC, that nice empty feeling with nothing moving through my system (except that good tasting lemon drink.)

Good luck to all you cleansers, the ones just starting, the ones starting again and those of you well into your journey. If you need extra encouragement or support send Chicagogirl1 a comment, she’ll always come through for you.

Am visiting sunny California for a couple of weeks but will read all your posts when I return. (I don’t do ANY computer stuff while I’m vacationing.) Good luck all.
