I haven’t felt like writing for the past few days. Days 4 & 5 were better than the previous, but still challenging. I am still having the daily battle with myself to end the cleanse, but I’m still hanging in there.
Being a native of Minneapolis, my eyes have been glued to the TV the past few days. I used to be a student at the U of M and have crossed over that bridge 1000 times. It is unbelievable that this happened. So far, I don’t know anyone who was involved, but there are still several people who are unidentified.
Back to the cleanse – This cleanse has brought out an attack of “hives” for me. That has led to increased misery for me, but also makes me think that they are a result of the toxins in my body. I suffer for chronic urticaria, which is described as idiopathic, or having no know cause. I am not sure if ending the cleanse early will clear me of hives, as the toxins are still obviously in my body.
Anyway, today is day 6, and a new day.

I woke up early today with horrible stomach pain. It was gas, but no elims. That set the mood for the day, which I spent debating with myself and with my fiance whether or not I should quit. I didn’t, and I haven’t yet. I skipped the SWF because I felt so awful. I was done one more pound today, for a total of 4.
Anyway, another day done. I am considering end the cleanse after 9 days, due to a schedule conflict. I guess it’s just one day at a time for the moment.
The cravings are better…it is more the chewing, and the social aspect of eating that I miss.

Yesterday was hard. I was crabby, hungry and irritable. I spent most of the day thinking about food, food I don’t even like. I contemplated in the evening quitting this thing, but realized that if I went off, I would probably go wild and eat way too much, and end up gaining weight. I read thru several of the entries on this website, which helped me to get thru the day. My energy was great throughout the day, I even did a Pilate’s work out.
So it’s the morning of day 2. I am sitting here “enjoying” my SWF, trying to convince my brain that it is broth. I believe that yesterday I used two TABLESPOONS of salt instead of two TEASPOONS, which made quite the difference. I did weigh myself this morning, with a loss of 3 pounds. I am hopeful the the cravings will be better today as my body adjusts to this cleanse.
