master cleanse

I found today much better than my second day. Even though I’m still experiencing lots of stomach growls, I felt better today, wasn’t cold much at all, and just kept chugging the LA. Looking forward to tomorrow being the beginning of a new phase – increased energy, not so much hunger, and all the things everyone is saying should be happening. I hope it’s all true for me, because I still have 7 more days of this. As long as I just take one day at a time, it turns the mountain into more of a slight incline. Keep drinkin’ everyone!

OK. Day 2 is over. It’s hard to believe what everyone is saying, that once you get to the 4th day it will be a breeze. I guess I’ll see when I get there – I hope.

It’s just so BORING – drinking the same thing all day, and all the morning “running” (in more ways than one – running to the bathroom with the runs, and sometimes not fast enough!) I guess THAT part’s not boring, just annoying.

But I’m in this for the long haul, because over 900 people cannot be wrong – I just hope I get similar results. When I’ve done juice fasts in the past, my belly starts to shrink by the beginning of the second day, but mine is still nice and bulgey. Humph!

Just one more day before they say it gets better. I can do this, but I’m ready for the next phase!

Man, do I want some kettle cooked potato chips! My stomach is REALLY growling. I guess it’s back to the kitchen for some more YUMMY & SATISFYING lemonade!

Ok. Day 1. Everyone in my household is doing the cleanse with me – wow. Lots of juicing! But there is strenth in numbers, so hopefully we’ll keep each other strong.

We started with the tea last night. Good start – everyone liked it! But for me, no gurgling or activity through the night. Started with the SWF this morning – no one liked it but somehow we all got it down. Heating the water a little did help. Finally had first trip to the bathroom within an hour. No huge explosion for me, but for my husband, he was in there for 45 min. straight! O MY GOSH!

Looking forward to starting the lemonade soon. I guess I can now??

Catch up w/ya later.

Getting ready to start the MC after doing a weekend of research. I think my sister will join me (who lives with us), and I’m trying to gently convince my husband as well. So it’s off to Trader Joe’s tomorrow to stock up on maple syrup. I brought home fresh-picked lemons yesterday from my sister-in-law’s lemon trees in Phoenix, and now I just need to find the iodine-free sea salt. I have three boxes of sea salt, but I think they all have iodine. How am I going to explain this to my elderly parents who like to have us over for a fattening, country-style meal once or twice a week?! Anyway, looking forward to two weeks from now, starting the year off clean on the inside, along with all the health benefits that go along with it. Let’s go for it!
