Yuck.
Today was definitely rough. I actually wasn't really hungry or tempted by food at all--- it was how I was feeling physically. My whole body is sore-- I feel like I did a marathon TAM exercise session and then came down with the flu. These are typical detox symptoms and they're going to last for a few more days before that euphoric fabulousness takes effect.
I also was freezing all day...Instead of drinking my lemonade at room temperature which is what I normally do, I warmed it up like tea. I'll definitely be bringing a sweater to put on at work tomorrow!
Down 1.4 pounds as of this morning-- I was actually surprised it wasn't more. But the great thing about this cleanse is that you only lose what you need to. If I can drop 15 by the end of it all, I would be thrilled! But far more important than the weight loss for me is how I always feel after the Master Cleanse...rejuvinated in mind, body and spirit.
Just finished my salt water flush-- I always add a few granules of chicken bouillon to help me get it down--- it tastes more like chicken soup that way.....Now I'm waiting for the, uh, poop to happen. Awesome.
Bring on Day 3!
xxoo
Sorry you're not feeling good, lady. On the bright side, you've done this before, so you know it's temporary. I may be needing you to repeat the temporary part to me when I start cleansing next week! As far as the salt water flush, hope everything came out okay! (;

Ugh...be warned, Jessica-- Days 2 and 3 are tough! I will be there to cheer you through next week when you start! It's soooo worth it, but right now, I want to crawl under my desk, take a nap and wake up when it's Day 10!!!!
DeleteI admire you so much for doing this - are you working too? I am not sure I could survive it at work. I get really bad tempered really quickly on detoxes etc. so would not be a good idea.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work - glad you have the end goal in mind!

DeleteSo Glad I found your Blog. I am on day 7 and just found you , yours is the best one I have found so detailed and I love the little tip about the salt water flush . So far I have been substituting and doing 2 lax tea instead bacause I have not been able to make myself do the slat water , i hate slat and anything that taste salty :( .
ReplyDeleteI am now reading thru your journey and Love your detailed witty , tell it like it is style , so much better then all the straight fact journals I have seen so far .
