Master Cleanse - Day 5-11

Whew, I am done with the master cleanse. It really did run smooth. I did start breaking out the fruit about day 7, but it is accepted during the master cleanse. So all and all I did really good. I lost a total of approximately 10 lbs, just as the book described. Now some of that will come back, but with the cleanse I have trained myself to eat better so I should be able to continue eating healthy and losing weight. I just might use the master cleanse diet, which is included in the program - replace 1 meal per day with the lemonade drink. It really is quite tasty if you can handle the cayanne pepper. Now I did cut back the amount of pepper that I used during the master cleanse, because I couldn't handle it. The other thing I would truly recommend is a juicer - the manual kind - that has the cup underneath it. I ended up with many seeds in my drink doing it by hand. I will be on the lookout for one, to continue making the drink. I think everything still turned out. I am pretty proud of my successful completion and now I am ready to take on the world and a new blog layout.

Master Cleanse - Day 4

The day went by without any problems. I will say that as the days continue on it is getting harder not to eat. I'm not sure thought if it was because my husband was around and we ran errands and ended up at the Mall and McDonald's with the boys for lunch. I brought my lemonade with me and I got through lunch fine. I could have gotten some fruit, but again I am really trying to hold out as long as possible. The master cleanse is really starting to work. My energy level hasn't been as bad as I thought I would be. I really thought I would be alot more tired or lethargic. So all and all things are going very good.

Master Cleanse - Day 3

Today has been a pretty good day, nothing of note happened. Although it does get harder to fight the urges. I really haven't been hungry, so it's just when I start pulling out food for the boys that I start to feel a twinge of desire for food. You see I love to eat and I eat for multiple reasons. I guess I should add that to my list or what I hope to accomplish with this cleanse, I don't have to eat just because I'm stressed, angry, tired, bored - just eat when I am hungry.
No major aches or pains today. Today is a good day.
After I have completed this cleanse, I will share my secrets .... stay tuned.

Master Cleanse - Day 2

I have not completed the second day of my master cleanse. We had a very ruff start to the day, which started last night, but the day is ending better. That minor headache that I had yesterday bothered me all night long, I kept tossing and turning through the night due to the headache. It continued on into the morning, it wasn't terrible but it was bothersome. Along with that came a much more present upset stomach, I didn't get sick at all, but I just didn't feel good. (As a side note, I went to be later than I should and was only in bed for 6 hours.) I kinda just hung out with the boys and let them play. Finally I rested on the couch for about 30 min (the boys got a "dollar" for letting me rest) and then forced myself to take a nice hot shower. The shower felt good and made me ready for the day. We had some errands to run and as the day went on I started feeling better. I have not had much hunger pains, I generally eat all the time so this is quite surprising. I have decided that my easing into the cleanse is done, and I am just going with it. All and all it really is going well. It does get hard at times seeing as how I still have to feed my family, and I just can't empty all the food out of the house. My will is going strong and so is my cleanse. You are "allowed" to eat Fresh fruit and veg, but I am going to try and hold out until I am really desperate. I bought some frozen stuff, so that I have it if needed.

Master Cleanse - Day 1

I have officially started my Master Cleanse Lemonade Diet.
So far things are going good. Started my day with a Sea Salt Laxative and made a days worth of the Lemonade drink at once, so I don't have to keep making it all day. I have to be a little careful because I did get quite a few seeds in my drink. I have had 2 or 3 glasses of this, the glass that I am drinking out of is bigger than the "serving", but as long as I finish by the end of the day I know I'm okay. I have had the same "large" serving of water, need to get some more in.
So far everything is going fine, just a slight queasy stomach. The rest of the day went fine. Although I don't much care for the cayanne pepper, otherwise the Master Cleanse would be no problem for me. I have had a very minor headache this afternoon, but nothing unbearable.
I have to say, I am doing the 3 day ease into the Master Cleanse, so I do get to eat dinner tonight, yes that's right it is 10:43 and I still haven't had dinner, my hubby is just now on his way home from work.
All and all day one went better than expceted.
