Do the Master Cleanse, baby!!

I lost 12 lbs in 8 days but I wanted to kill myself every minute of it…

and i already cheated. i was just feeling so weak so i had a salad with 40 calorie dressing. i feel so guilty. do you think vegetables really matter though, i mean i guess i could look at it as i’m kind of phasing into it. :) :) :)

anyhow, i’m headecd to the gym to ‘punish’ myself for being a cheater. :-P

I am on the fifth day.
Love the juice. I juice it all by hand…make a bunch of juice in the morning and make 3 32 ounce lexan bottles of it a day.. just carry them around with me.
I have been running a few miles or skiing a few every day.
have not felt tired or hungry, though not eating solid food is a trip.
do this with someone. it is mostly due to my partner that i have survived this far…though now the end is in sight.

i bought everything i need for the cleanse today. the only thing i can’t seem to find is a lemon juicer. did anyone just squeeze them?

For those who think they cannot do this try eliminating the cayenne from the lemonade and taking cayenne pills instead. I have checked and it is still very beneficial, although they do recommend to just add it to the drink. It made it so much easier for me! I have done it a few times. There is also a 3 day cleanse that you can do that is similar. There is a really cool new company called M’lis, they provide all kinds of herbs to aid in the affects of cleansing and detoxing. You drink the same mixture, but without the cayenne and take fiber, cleanse, and detox herbs for 3 days. I loved it! I felt pretty much the same, but it was a lot more doable for me, since it was so much shorter! It is also very cheap for the kit. Try it m’lis.com

I’ve set my start date for February 18.

Here’s my reasoning. The clense takes about 2 weeks. Then I’m assuming adjusting the eating habits back to food will take about a week. The following week (after the first week back on food) I will be taking a week long trip with my boyfriend (We’re in a long distance relationship after 2 1/2 years of being together almost everyday). I wanted to be back on regular food for our trip because it will be my birthday and he is going to take me out. Plus it will be more convienent. And I will be looking great! Hopefully. :)

Does this make sense to everyone? Or should I try to do it a little earlier?

I wanted to do it for a week but it only lasted 4 days. I just was getting tired of making it and drinking it and making it and drinking it. I also wasn’t drinking enough. I would feel hungry and I should of drank it before I felt that way. I never felt weak.(And I have hypoglycemia). It was kind of a pain haveing to take a cooler filled with bottles of spicy lemonade whenever you left the house. It only makes it harder to do when you let yourself feel hungry. Drink as soon as you feel you can…(before you feel hungry). I would like to try TMC again…when I’m ready to commit to it : )Also I lost about 10 pounds in the four days I did it.

I was planning on starting the cleanse this Sunday. But just found out I will be traveling for work Mon-Wed. I really want to start it becsuse I am all psyched for it. And travel is a part of my life…so there will never be a long stretch without it. Any suggestions for travelers?

Doing the cleanse for the second time. It is going pretty well. Although, I did it several years ago. This time is not as hard. I guess it gets easier the more you do it. This diet does wonders for your spirit. Your will and determination. Clease the sense so well that you can smell life again. You wont believe how much you miss. Smells are essential to most experiences. No one so far has been bold enough to speak of the SEXUALL wonders of having a clean bod. Nothing to stop the flow. Wonderful thing. Longevity. Vitality. The works. I will be on in th next couple of days with an update. To the ladies MUAHHHHH…To the fellas be TOUGH.

SO I tried the cleanse.I had to stop at the end of the first day. I was only able to consume a total of 24oz of the lemonade. When I attempted to drink more my stomach lurched and I pulled a fearfactor like cover and of mouth while I thought of something else so I can get this down my throat. Even thinking about it 2 days later makes my throat tighten and my tummy knot. I will not admit total defeat as of yet. I am determined to give this a try at a later date. I am going to experiement with using less maple and less pepper until i find something that I can stomach. I will conquer this cleanse. Just not today.
