master cleanse

So, I have tried the master clease for a day. But I had done it completely wrong. Tomorrow I am startign the master cleanse and trying to go to 10 days. I am going to get the senna leaf tea, and the salt water tomorrow in the morning. I am hoping this clease will make me feel less bloated, and more healthy. It will be a challenge but many of you have already accomplished it. I am hoping the salt water flush wont go as bad as many of you say! Well, we will see how everything goes tomorrow. Tonight I am going to eat something for the last time. I am pretty excited and I wanna see how far I can go. I am doing this for MYSELF to prove MYSELF that I can do anything I set my mind to.

so on Sunday night I bought everything I need and I started this yesterday. I did everything but the laxatives and the salt because I have to work and I don’t want to risk having an accident lol. Anyway, there was a birthday party last night so that ruined it for me…and this morning there was leftover food from the party so I ate some but I haven’t eaten anything since then.
I will officially start tomorrow. I know I’m full of crap and it’s about time I get cleaned! Plus, the weight loss will be nice :-)

I do the master cleanse every year. I am about to start my 7th cleanse. The hardest thing about the Master Cleanse is the ‘pre-cleanse’ and all the excuses that pop up that derail the first day, even for a veteran like me. “Can’t start now, I have a dinner party next week.” “It’s my best friend’s birthday soon and I can’t not drink a glass of champagne and eat cake, that would be so rude.” “A client is coming from out of town and I have to take them to lunch or I could lose the deal.” etc etc

The truth is, humans are social animals. When we get together with other people we eat and drink. Period. I never see a friend or get together with family or even with business clients and NOT eat and drink with them. It doesn’t happen. So, how does one find the time to do the cleanse and not turn into a social hermit and avoid all contact with humanity? You don’t. You don’t find the time – you will NEVER find the time. It is the easiest thing in the world to justify why you can’t do the cleanse now. That’s why you have to make the time. You will have to face that lunch or that party or that dinner and simply not eat with them. And it’s ok to do that. It really is. The fear of what they will think is always worse than what they will think. Those who matter to you don’t mind, and those who mind don’t matter.

Remember, this is about improving your health in an amazing way. You will actually have a positive influence on those who witness what you are doing. I have become an ambassador of health in my social circle, not because I preach the cleanse. But because people are shocked when they discover how ‘old’ I am. I routinely hear that I am 10-15 years younger than I look. Then they ask me ‘Whats your secret?’ Answer: the Master Cleanse.

Guess what? It is ok to meet with family and friends and even business partners and simply drink a glass of water with a twist of lemon and be there with them while they devour their spare ribs and beer. Don’t volunteer that you are on the cleanse, nobody wants to be preached to when they are eating. If they ask, you can gently explain what you are doing. When done right, he MC is radical, and the results speak for themselves.

The MC could very well be the cure to cancer as far as I am concerned. But you will never get any health official to acknowledge the benefits simply because there is no money to be made for them.

So now I am gearing up for my 7th cleanse and I will post daily progress reports here. Last time, I got a blood test before and after to compare results. Staggeringly beneficial on every level.

See you around!

My sons are feeling under the weather and honestly I’m quite disgusted watching the snot fly around. My youngest doesn’t yet grasp the importance of using tissue and covering his sneezes. Yuck!

I write all of that like what I’m doing most people don’t consider to be just as gross with the way eliminations go. This week was one of my slowest workout weeks so I’m gonna go hard at it today. I feel fine. In fact, for whatever reason I’ve been cooking detailed meals for my sons like crazy. I don’t eat meat so it’s not like its much of anything for my pleasure. I still feel it must have something to do with the fact I’m not eating now. In hindsight, I’ve become a lot more creative with their meals and have managed to get them to eat more of the good stuff. But they are only two and so leftovers are a part of it. Which definitely helps as my days tend to get busy.

I am extremely lonely now… That makes me weary I may run in the wrong direction based solely off of that feeling. I must learn to keep moving forward regardless that I lack anyone in this flesh to walk with me. Getting through these emotions while on the MC can be a little harder because it seems everything is intensified. Where before you had a hint something wasn’t right, now it’s like it’s in bold, neon lights flashing dead ahead… WRONG!!!!!

So many issues all around me right now… this clarity the MC brings makes me want to decide what way I will deal with them all. Family, friends, ex-lovers, running a new business, clients, finances, health- the list goes on and on. And so must I.

as I was in hospital for a week with an infection in my digestive system. must be very very carfeul now of how and what I eat.

When the spectators are watching you closely just to see if you fail… let it push you that much harder to succeed.

Good day… I guess. I was contemplating how long I was really goin to do the MC this time. I have a goal in mind so we’ll see. Either way, I’m posting here as faithfully as possible. Today was sort of blah. I’m about to take my tea and hula hoop for a while as I watch this movie Reeker.

Til next SWF-

First off… I LOVED TRANSFORMERS REVENGE OF THE FALLEN!!!! Came up here to make a post only to see news articles on how people thought the twin robots were racist caricatures. Go figure that one out! They were hilarious indeed, but honestly I thought they were more ‘mentally challenged’. LOL… My ex’s sis joined us so we all had a good time in between the times her and my sons would ask him and I to stop arguing. Smh, we’re special when we’re around each other.

But as far as the MC… yes, Day10 wrapping up. I just got in so my tea is steeping as I type and then I’m off to bed. Boy, it’s been an active day for certain. I know I’m going to sleep well. OOh OOh, I did so well not being tempted to eat at the theater or at the Hibachi Grill and Buffett (which by the way has the best salt and pepper shrimp to me). I held my ground though… really wasn’t a big deal at all. I’m not phased at the moment by any of that.

I feel good, thank God! My tongue didn’t even frighten me this morning at all- LMAO! On to another day… post here again tomorrow.

Oh yea, I did finally finish reorganizing my room. Loooooooving it… Smoochies ppl and good nite!

and the MC is taking a lot out, LOL! I’m fine. I thank God for my making it thus far. I’ll let you all know how I am in more detail once the day closes.

Oh boy… I can’t recall ever really thinking my tongue looked gross when I’ve done a cleanse in the past but boy are the white fuzzies looking a hot mess now! I wouldn’t let someone with a tongue like that kiss me so you know I’m a little bummed. Then I thought again about that dilemma I’ve always had wondering if sex during the MC could actually be harmful to your partner. I really don’t know… if there’s anyone out there who has intercourse during the cleanse, I’d like to know was there any difference expressed by the partner who wasn’t on the cleanse. So other than me being a borderline manic horny butt- alls good I guess.

I re-upped on the tea so I feel sooooo much better about that. Nah for those who may be wondering if tomorrow’s my last day (though actually I haven’t seen much activity up here lately- good thing I don’t mind talking to myself). I’m not certain how long I’m going but definitely about to add weight training in every other day to build more muscles. Past couple of days being slow days, I’m looking forward to getting my sweat on! Ok, so that may have more than one meaning but I told ya’ll I was horny.

Had an ex-client ask me if I was taking some sort of medicine or drug. I was shocked mainly cause I totally believe in keeping it natural and had expressed that to her before. I did explain that I was cleansing my body after being out of the loop for so long helping my family.

What else is there to talk about… I’m a sucker for my ex. Even when he’s a complete butt, never changes the fact I love him. The MC brings about such clarity. I’m a fool for love. So not one of the things I wanted to learn along this little escapade.

Thank God for letting me make it thru thus far. If I head this out til the weekend of the 4th I’m gonna need to sit and explain to my ex why I will not be eating at any cookouts or when we bug out at Kings Dominion. Will that be some of the greatest temptations? We go to amusement parks to give in, be a kid, eat the crap they sell at outrageous prices… lol! Ahhhh, he’ll be alright. Regardless I wouldn’t be able to eat that mess. I’ll live vicariously thru him cause he will definitely eat enough of it.

That all being said, time for my tea. OOOOOOOOO how I missed it over the past few days. I could clean up, but I’m really sleepy and would actually prefer an obscene early wake up to workout and clean things before going to see TRANSFORMERS REVENGE OF THE FALLEN (or whatever the title)! I am SOOOOOOOO ready for this tomorrow- my sons, ex and I will all be at the matinee. Them with sweets and popcorn while I’m hyped up off of pure adrenaline. May take some MC to sip on but lets get real, I want no distractions or restroom trips during the movie… lmao!
