DAY 3 - MASTER CLEANSE

Weight:171.o





I'm averaging 2.5 pounds lost a day so far. That is with the first two days eating dinner. It's amazing that I've lost that much weight already and I havn't even started into the full cleanse yet. Today is my first day doing ONLY juice. And my first day starting the salt water and tea. Funny enough the salt water is the part I am not looking forward to. I actually like the lemone juce. It seems to really hydrate and lift my spirits. It helps too that spring is finally in full bloom. Chris and I have the most amazing view nature has provided for us right outside our living room window!

DAY 2 - MASTER CLEANSE

weight: 173.5

I did really well all day. Had hunger pains that would start but go away after a drank the lemon juice. Feeling really good. My moods have been a lot better. I have more happy days than not. I still feel anxiety now and then but it's more manageable. I think the biggest results I have seen is the presence I have of my body. I'm more in tune with what I put in my body and how much I have been eating. I realize now how much work I was putting on my digestive system and how my eating habits were totally out of control. I feel more at peace in my body.

DAY 1 - MASTER CLEANSE

So I came across the master cleanse. Thought I would try it. It's 10 days of eating nothing and only drinking lemon water made of 10 oz water, 2 tbs lemon juice, 2 tbs grade B 100% maple syrup and cayenne pepper. So far it's been really good. For the first time in a long time I haven't had stomach pain. That's partially why I wanted to do it. I think my stomach has been going into over kill with all the binge/emotional eating I have been doing. I think it needs a well deserved rest. I have done a 5 day vegetable juice fast before and I LOVED it. We'll see how I do with this.

Here are some interesting videos I found. Some may agree or disagree with them. They definitely get you thinking tho. WARNING: May contain nudity, blood, laboring, laboring noises, beautiful babies and may make you cry.

Made raw bread and raw sandwhiches

Finally went to the health food store, bought a bunch of ingredients and made some raw bread. It turned out really good. I took some over to my mom to try out and see what she thought. Even my carnivorous husband liked it. I'm pretty pleased myself. Take a look for yourself.

DAY 3

So I'm feeling more empowered today. I woke up at 7 this morning and ran 5 min, walked 20 min. I probably went roughly 3/4 mile. OK well that's not the part I'm feeling empowered about but we'll get to that later. So with the running experience, I got winded about 30 seconds into running and I didn't have much endurance AT ALL!! The good news, I actually got off my butt and out the door this time. Yay me!!! I experienced leg cramps and hip pain the rest of the day. I'm hoping that the endurance comes with time, practice and patience and the hip pain ceases through better diet.

OK on with the empowerment. Ive been putting off the herb course because of the craziness with jobs, moving and planning a wedding. I went from having 3 months to having 3 weeks!!! OK people don't panic yet. So I figured there wasn't enough time to finish so I was going to just give up. I then realised that I'm not going to get anywhere in life constantly doubting myself, procrastinating and making up excuses. I decided it wouldn't hurt anything to at least try to make the deadline. I finished half a packet today and read half the book!! I think I may make it!!

Thanks to any of you who added my blog. I really didn't think anyone would care to read any of the boring stuff I have to say. It really gave me some encouragement and helped me keep pursuing my hopes and someday dreams. Thank you so much!!
