Master Cleanse - Day 1
Sep 04 2007 08:55

8:55 am

Well -- here we are embarked again. 

 My plan was to start Sunday night, but due to some heavy drinking at a party - I elected to start this morning instead (I needed Monday to recover from Sunday's binge!).

So this morning I got up, mixed myself up some juice, maple and cayenne, and am now sipping it out of my Dr. BME travel mug in the office. 

According to CC there is about 650 calories in this juice mixture this morning... not too bad considering this mixture is supposed to last me until I get home from work, and then I'll mix another for tonight (I'm guesstimating I'll probably consume about 900 calories throughout the day -- if we want to get technical about it).

At the moment I'm a little sleepy, and sort of hungry.  But I had a huge dinner late last night, so I'm not suffering at all.  I know from experience that the worst days on the cleanse are days 3-5 ----- so hopefully I can just get over that hump.  I'm considering mixing up some juice tonight and freezing it in ice cube trays.  This stuff tastes WAY better cold....

Tomorrow morning will do my first SWF (salt water flush) - have a feeling I should probably get up early for it.

12:39pm

Oh my gosh, they're having a pizza lunch at work today.  My stomach is rumbling and pizza would be wicked awesome right now --- but it's time to suck it up just a little.

My cheeks feel pink.  I think it's the cayenne pepper - my body doesn't tolerate it well.  I've drank probably 2 cups of the Lemonade so far today and can't wait until the afternoon when I'm going to treat myself to a peppermint tea. 

I think I need some plain water -- this lemon stuff is pretty gross.
