master cleanser

This is something I have wanted to try for so long. What finally put me on my way was the ad I saw in Cosmo for Simply Slender that is a premix. I am on my 3rd day. I have had headaches but I know that is from caffiene and fast food detox. I originally had planned to just do a 4 day but I feel so motivated today I may continue on to the 10 day. This is my first cleanse ever . . . what do you think?

I have done this cleanse three times. The only thing I didn’t like about it is that lemon is bad for your teeth. I could feel my enamel weak by the end of the cleanse. I did feel great and I had lots of energy. I did loose about 10lbs each time. Though you gain it back quickly. Especially cause your body thinks its starving. I don’t think this type of cleanse is healthy and I may not do it again. Doing a one month cleanse by eating tofu, vegis, some fresh water fish (twice a week) and not eating anything white (flour, rice etc), no dairy, no meat (with fish as exception), no caffeine, no alcohol is a good way to cleanse.

if you want to do it, and you’re scared. don’t be. you’re stronger than you think. if you’re on the cleanse adn you’re feeling really bad, you probably need a nap. and guess what? today may suck, but tomorrow is gonna be awesome!!

YOU CAN do this…

today is my last day. i have to say that i cheated by drinking some orange juice and it tasted so good. the cleanse has really sent my whole way of thinking in another direction. i had an especially hard day, but instead of turning to external sources for support, i looked within myself to find the courage to keep moving on. and guess what? along the way, i ran into some friends that i hadn’t seen in months. they were there to cheer me on. my ex m.i.l. and i had a great conversation, and even though the day started out to be very difficult, it ended in a very peaceful and happy way. just like my cleanse has…i want to have good memories of this, so i’m not gonna do it another day. but, i will do it again, perhaps to celebrate the new year. jan 1. but also, i plan to cleanse or even fast, one day out of the week. it’s amazing how much i eat, even healthy stuff, when i’m feel lonely, or disappointed or sad. filling myself up, instead of using my own resources…i’m repeating myself.

my honest opinion on the mastercleasne, or whatever version i did, is to try it. be religious about it. really put your energy into it, and see what happens on the other side. i think you’ll find a better outlook, even if you do it just to lose weight. that helps you along the way. the confidence of seeing your body manifest what your mind is encouraging you to do.

have fun cleansers…i’m outta here… until next time.

I DID THIS…

today was so easy i have little to report. except that i can’t stop sneezing. and i got some compliments on my weight loss. i drank some orange juice this evening because tomorrow will be my last day. and it gave me a good surge of energy. enough to go for a run. i’m ready to be done with the cleanse and i’ll be happy to report how my last day goes.

i can’t stop sneezing. i can’t stop sneezing. why can’t i stop sneezing. i’ve decided to end fast after my seventh day. and start the post cleanse process. no more swfs or smooth moves…i heard that stan really only encouraged the lemon juice thing, and not the rest of it? that’s bummer…because i didn’t read the book, which i should’ve. anyway…going to bed. getting some good rest. hoping you all have been well informed about what this experience has been like. as i’m getting close to the end, i think about whether or not i would do it again. and i think from this point forward, starting next week, i’d like to do a once a week cleanse. maybe for one or two days out of the week. just to give my body a rest. the way i took care of myself—i NEVER take care of myself like i did on this cleanse unless i’m really sick. i want to always take care of myself in this way. that’s a great lesson to learn. especially for those single mommies out there.

no…not giving up. not because of him. and not because of me. but no more salt water flushes. unless you are very used to that kind of torturous, science experiment, for me, it feels like a punishment. and i want my body to have pleasant memories of this process, even if at times, it’s painful unavoidably…but not because of what i’m doing to my self.

just went for a jog/walk/jog/mostly walk. and i feel better. uplifted. still not cleansing for more than 7 days. hoping to find a better resolution for my issue with this particular relationship.

I think I’ve had enough. I’m really ready to let this go…I’ve just had a helluva day. And the swf really takes it out of you. I’m not especially interested in eating. I just need to feel better Today I feel like crap…I discovered that a friend of mine, who was auditioning for a job where i was the reader, got the job. Great for him…but why wouldn’t he call me and say…”hey, i got this job. thanks for helping…did you have any input with the director?” she asked me what he was like to work with. i talked him up. said what a great actor and person he was, that i loved working with him, that he was a good guy. did it help him? probably. he’s pretty self centered, egotistical, masochistic and narcissistic…it makes me feel like shit to have someone so unappreciative, so lacking generosity in my life. i called him to say-”yeah i HEARD that you got the job. congrats. hope you have fun with that. good luck”

why would i? why would i do that? is this a big deal? it’s just part of the crappy day today. I want to cry. I don’t feel like having some friggin lemonade. I’d like a nice cup of tomato soup and a grilled cheese.

later.
not him…

This is funny. As soon as you let go of something, the universe really does open up to your faith, your hope of finding something new to either challenge you or cheer you on! I am strongly attracted to a guy and after having not heard from him for a while, he asks me to meet him for coffee. Which by the way, I’m definitely doing…he’s headed out of town for a long time. And there’s no chance that I’d miss seeing him. But I’m wondering if this is more toxic behavior on my part. More toxic fantasizing…he’s attached to someone. What’s the THING on this cleanse!!!!???? What’s the deal? What’s the deal on life, people? Cause we are never gonna clear out all the toxic shit in our bodies…our bodies need it to LIVE…but how do we not let the TOXIC stuff over run our bodies, our minds, our hearts? I’m not trying to justify my choice…really. After the shelter of this cleanse ends, where I know what I’m gonna eat, when I’m gonna poop, when I’m gonna sleep every day…I have to go back into the real world and make choices…that keep me “clean and healthy” knowing that I’ve had a problem with keeping the balance in the past. Hm…today is a good day. I let myself get too hungry…so I was tired enough to almost trip over my own feet. I’m better now and the peppermint tea is really gangsta…get some it works.

I can see why people quit after today. Really, Day 3 is totally boring. I think to myself…I have another 7 days of this left, and I really want to eat something. Not because I feel bothered by hunger. I’m just bored to tears now. My son’s father came by and took him to New Jersey, where he is going to end Yom Kippur with his family. He was complaining to me all day about how hungry he was, and I didn’t find any use in telling him about my detox. He would’ve been unhappy and not supportive. So, I’m here at home by myself, going out to the store to buy some food for my son (aargh…) and some more lemons and some tea. I haven’t done swf today because i just FEEL i need a break from that. I will do it later though. And check in with you tomorrow. So, if you’re wondering, day 3 might be the day you give up, not cause you’re hungry, but because you’re apathetic about continuing to drink the lemonade for 7 more days. I’m just taking it one day at a time. Going to run some errands, do some yoga and try to keep thinking, cleansing and busy…
