Yesterday was busy at work, hardly had time to think about eating at all...in fact, I just wasn't hungry.
I definitly agree with all the stuff I have read about how the first 3 days of the cleanse are hell, then it gets easier.
I did have a slight difficultness (haha I'm like George W.) on the 2 days I was off work.
I'm so glad that I picked the perfect time to do my cleanse. I did it on my break between spring and summer semester. AND, I had work to keep my mind off of everything.
I just kept reminding myself...one more day...one more day...one more day!!!!

Day 8
Yesterday was awesome. The food cravings aren't so bad anymore.
What was getting me was my salt water flush hasn't been working for 2 days. That is not good because it's the most important part of the cleanse. The lemonade gets all the toxins out of my body system's but the flush gets them out of my body.
Yesterday was really bizarre though. I was super busy at work, which is great! But, there was some weird energy going on.
I can't wait for Sunday. We're gonna go to Souplantation, because that's about the only thing I'll be able to eat after a week and a half of a pure liquid diet.
I'm getting sick of lemonade...sick of having a bite of fruit every now and then, and most of all sick of salt. Yes you heard me right. The salt addict has left the building!
My skin looks amazing and I really feel amazing.
I heard there was a dude that did this cleanse for a whole year; that is just ridiculous and unhealthy, in my opinion. You can't have that many toxins built up. For serious!
My husband just said that he hasn't been reading my blog. This coming from the supportive one that had spaghetti night without me last night!

Day 6 and 7
day 6
Yesterday was actually a great day. I was off all day. Ended up having to take the Blue Bullet to the doctor...needed a tire rotation. Come to find out, I need two new tires...I guess that's better than 4. Then the good news was that it wasn't my starter that was acting up, but my battery terminal was corroded - go figure. But I need two new brake pads. Guess I need to call up Callahan parts (haha).
We got home early and I just read all day. It has seriously been like two months since I've had a day off like that.
Freakin' awesome!
Day 7
Today has started off well. I was off work again and proceeded to tornado around the apartment to keep my mind occupied. I've done a lot of organizing. Ahhhhh, feels nice.
I am finding that I am craving a cocktail like really bad right now. It would be such a great end to my wonderful two days off.
Just gotta keep telling myself that I only have a few more days!
This has been one of the hardest mental challenges that I've done, but I know I'll be thanking myself afterwards.
"Truckin' like the do-dah man, once told me you've got to play your hand. Sometimes your cards ain't worth a dime, if you don't layem down."

Day 5
A little late on this one...so sue me!
Yesterday was actually pretty great for the most part.
Felt like I was walking on air...so far I have been averaging about a pound a day weight loss.
It was sweet because hubby actually tried to drink my salt water flush with me! I realized the warmer you have it, the easier it goes down. We must not have had enough, because it didn't work.
I felt very enlightened yesterday.
But I'm ready for a freakin' meal!
"Whoooaaaa I'm halfway there...whoooaa whoooaa...Livin' on some 'ade. I'll drink my shit and I'll make it I swear...Whooooa whoooa...Livin' on some 'ade."
Haha - I think it's going straight to my head!

Day 3 and 4
DAY 3
...pretty much sucked. Yea, they weren't kidding that it's one of the worst days. I was so grumpy and irritable all day.
DAY 4
Today started out a little better. I actually noticed how when I look into the lemonade I make it kinda looks like a swirly gold color speckled with red dots. It's very similar to the cable channel with the black and white ants crawling all over it; or a bottle of Goldschlagger once it's been shaken; or like the cerulean sky bedazzled with twinkling starts.
Today I overcame a lot of temptation.
I even managed to suck down that damn salt water flush. That shit sucks. But I've come so far. Tomorrow I am halfway through my cleanse.
I really am starting to feel like a new person.
"I'm not afraid, to take a stand. Everybody come take my hand. We'll walk this road together, through the storms, whatever weather, cold or warm. Just lettin' you know that, you're not alone. Holla if you feel like you've been down the same road" Eminem
This song has really helped me through some tough times since it came out. It sums my life up completely. I've done some crazy shit in my life and it's time to take a stand.
This cleanse is just the beginning to an improved me!

Day 2
Well, I survived Day 1!!
The most important lessons I learned:
** Put contacts in before making first lemonade of the day, as well as take them out before last lemonade...My eyes burned yesterday from the lemons and cayenne pepper worse than a hussie in church! Oh man that was rough!
** Don't watch cooking shows when you can't eat solid food!!
I did pretty good all day; the evening is definitly the toughest. I found that I can have fresh squeezed orange juice to break up the monotony. I did break a little and had a couple pickle spears with mustard, which is ok. I'm not fasting, I'm cleansing. I guess that has been a huge confusion with others that have tried this.
But, holy crap, I still got 8 days left.
It was pretty difficult to sleep last night, but I just keep telling myself that I'm halfway through the first 3 days which are the most difficult.
Even though I still feel hungry and a little cranky; I have already noticed some big changes. My skin is starting to feel amazing! It is feeling more hydrated; my hair even feels different (much softer). Oh yea, and indigestion has been non-existant.
I decided my least favorite part of this cleanse is the salt water flush. I mean I love salt; I love eating it plain, I love sea salt, I love chips, I love salt...but I do NOT like having to drink 25 oz. of sea salt water once a day. Try keeping that down. But, I'm just trying to look at what my accomplishments be in a week.
I guess that's about it for Day 2.
It's gonna be pretty difficult this evening, but I know I have it in me.

Day 1
So, here I am starting a blog. I never would have thought I would be so technologically advanced!
But something has to help me through the next 10 days.
So, I started my cleanse this morning (after a quick regretted thought of the "after work cocktails" I consumed last night)! I have been leading up to my cleanse for about a week by consuming mostly salad, veggies, fruit and cutting back on what little meat I eat.
I've already had two servings of lemonade. The research I have done says the first 3 days are the hardest. Your body will go through so many changes - I can't wait...I'm feeling more toxic than Britney Spears when she was married to K. Fed!
I'm "feeling" really hungry; but I know it's my brain saying it.
To top off all the emotions going through my brain, I lost my wedding band! So we went to the jeweler's and wierdly everything worked out! I got the most beautiful platinum band that was marked down 75% because the couple that had it made decided last minute they didn't want it! Hell yeah!!
I'm almost through the day, but I'm pretty hungry. I just had to hide the damn chips so I'm not tempted. Then hubby started talking about making pigs in a blanket. @$$hole! Nah, he is being really supportive. But I still think I might have to go in the other room when he makes something.
I'm a little worried about how it will go while at work tomorrow. I figure I'll wait to do the salt water flush until when I get home since I'm getting off early tomorrow.
I'm really worried because day 3 will be Sunday and there is usually Krispy Kreme donuts and Breakfast Jacks from Jack in the Box!! Oh the temptation!
This is going to be very challenging...
