Day 2 - Master Cleanse
I lost a pound. Feel, eh, pretty much the same, physically.
Each morning, first thing, I’m supposed to drink a quart of warm water with two teaspoons salt. It was saltier than I thought, not unpalatable, but definitely NOT the nutty house blend with half & half I prefer first thing.
I thought I had waited too long this morning to do the salt water flush, and I thought it wouldn’t work. 20 minutes later - uh - I sat stood corrected.
I had an extremely vivid dream last night, something involving the Hamburgler and phlegm, though this evening, I can’t seem to pin down the details. It was fun, surreal and I felt safe and had the sense I could direct the dream’s outcome.
There is an unyeilding desire to see this through, mostly because I feel like I’m in desperate need for self-discipline which I’ve been sorely lacking. Just a few moments ago, while making another quart of lemonade, I had the sense that I would. Shockingly, it felt better than buying that cute Marc Jacobs bag.
My biggest challenge is drinking the 6-8 full quarts as recommended. I’m concerned I’m not ingesting enough calories, but I’m going to double my efforts tomorrow in the hopes I can break the 4 quarts benchmark of yesterday and today.
it’s amazing how lazy many of us have become, and all i do is sit in a chair all day at work. if you can do this then there is no excuse for me not to lose the 15 pounds i keep saying i need to shed. hehe!
wow, must be careful with the salt flush.
my brother-in-law did an epsom flush and went to bed. mmm…bad idea. luckily my sister was there to help clean “baby”. of course i could be depriving you of a potentially good blog, something arianna would love to have i’m sure. nevermind, flush away with utter abandon.
by the bi, i was, admittedly, watching dr. oz on orpah the other eve and he reported, via an experiment, that these “cleansings” do not a damn thing. granted, losing weight, i would imagine, would be a by product since you’re drastically reducing calorie intake, junk intake, etc…, and i would also imagine, which i do quite frequently, that 10 days of calorie deficit shouldn’t be too bad unless you’re really feeling like crap–that the case or just concerned about moving your self towards the realm of crapiness directly?
well, i’m on the opposite cleanse here in good ‘ol williamsburg, virginie–for lovers, like your queso. i’ve been choking down at least a pack a day, but, alas, this will all come to a close in five days. oh well, i’ll have to postpone my neverending quest to blacken thy lungs. tried to down an opened bottle of wine tonite as well but didn’t succeed. one of these days i’ll have to harass you during an extended stay and you can teach me how to drink like a grown-up; after all, i’m only 29, hardly removed from swaddling unlike your persons.
swaddling, yes, no?
so you’re not going to jump on the britney/crocker bandwagon? it is almost too good to comment, stands on its own, really. totally random, but i just watched it for the very first time, and i’m happy to report i did not imbue my persons with spirits a la ammonium.
At first, I thought this was crazy and ridiculous, but now, I really want to try this.
oh myyy
tonight
is my 2nd night
and i feel like crap, its not helping me either having my entire family pushing food in my face and telling me what a bad idea this cleanse is. I mean i dont really crave food anymore but same as you I am having vivid dreams and now when I think bout it I cant pinpoint the details!! I feel like crap sorda though…. I have a feeling im not doing anything right… I did the salt water today anddd it worked… but the lemonade i didnt have enough and my mom broke the measuring cup so I donno how to measure and if I hear the words quart or pint again I will throw up NO JOKE. I am so tired of going over and over in my mind how it should be divided to make 32 ounces… Its good I had a stomache cramp and ran to the bathroom before I drank the rest of that salt water this morning because I had double…maybe triple the ammount I was supposed to have. I wouldve drinked it by insulting the salt water and telling it that i wouldnt let it overpower me and that its just liquid. But thank god I didnt. Also Im happy that happened this morning because it led me to now be cocky or feel powered to not be defeated by this lemonade. I accidently put my extra salt water from this morning into the lemonade and I made a gallons worth so I was drinking that because I didnt have any maple syrup left.. or lemons. II believe I almost threw up =[
It looks like i seriously have two black eyes…
I mean I have the biggest bags ever!
I think its from no food but I food its not
I mean that would suck… Is anybody else feeling like me?? Crappy,,,Weak,,,Tired,,,???? Pleaseee say yes because thats wut I need to hear but be honest tooo haha Its weird because I think my body thinks that im going anorexic or whatever because I have a feeling im doing this all wrong
or maybe it was just today with the lemonade deficiency. But for the good news,, Ive lost weight and when I suck in..I have my dream body
haha
I just hope this is all expected on the 2nd day
and the other days get easier
SPECIALLY that salt water
its absolutely terrible
whats really weird though is that after drinking my lemonade TOO late… [i woke up at 1 and i was busy till 6, thats when I started drinking =/ i had one serving at like 2 though and I had 5 more at 6 oclock but thats it [[see I left one serving out plus I didnt drink that entire disgusting mess]]] but ya its weird cuz after drinking all that gross lemonade and salt water,,, i had a drink of water and it tasted like heaven! hahah
I was like YUMM REALL FOOOODD
