Review of Day 3 on the Master Cleanse

Orange juice and maple syrup;
Yesterday was not so bad. I drank two liters of the orange juice and maple syrup mixture. It actually made me feel pretty full all of the time. I was no longer feeling dizzy and actually woke up feeling happy and light. So, the headache went away once I finally rested.

I've been drinking water like crazy. Which is nothing really new, I am a big water drinker. The only problem I've been having is all the bathroom stops! Gosh.

So yesterday was Curtis's day off. I never realize how much time we spend together just eating. It's like an intimate affair of some sort. I felt really lonely and disgruntled whenever he was eating and I was not. I guess dinner and lunch, any food time, is more like a social thing than actually eating to nourish my body. Although, I do try and eat healthy. No fried chicken, hardly any red meat, salads when they look good. So, as I sat in torture while Curtis was eating his really good smelling chili dog at Burgers-N-Such, I couldn't help but be grumpy, jealous, lonesome. I had nothing to do but pray for the next few days to come quickly. I wanted to enjoy food with him, with my grandpa, with my sister. I could never see how aneroxic people do it! It felt so awful not joining in, I felt like everyone was watching me.

Luckily though, everyone is somewhat supportive of my detox. I just wish I felt the same now! I think it would have been much better to just stay home with my little detox thing. I wouldn't have to smell food or have to explain why I wasn't eating without feeling like people doubted it was really that.

Now it's on to the actual detox! The lemonade, cayenne pepper, and maple syrup! I hope I can survive.

For those of you interested, here's the REAL master cleanse. I'm doing some weird Ease In adaption.

The Master Cleanse

How it started;
So my friend was asking me if I had ever heard of this Master Cleanse aka the Lemonade Cleanse. I did some looking up for her and then left it at that, not really interested in a fancy way of starving myself. Then she had mentioned something about her wanting to try it. Then when Candice had told her boyfriend about her wanting to do it, he said she couldn't last. Well, upon hearing this, I decided to join my friend in her struggle to complete a cleanse/diet thing. Plus, it's only a week. I was/am determined to complete this thing with her, help her accomplish something! And along way, hopefully clear up some of my acne. You can only do so much on the outside, time to help heal the inside, right?

What it is;
The lemonade cleanse. At first, I thought, "Oh man! I like lemonade!" But when I saw what was needed in this lemonade in order for you to be cleansed but still get the everyday requirements for living. Maple syrup and cayanne pepper?! In LEMONADE? This truly disturbed me, but I have a mission to complete.

Anyways, there are three parts to this cleanse. Two of which are required to do.
The first is the Ease In; the first three days ease you into not eating. Day one is strict fruits and veggies only. The second, strict fruits or veggies juice OR just veggie broth. The third day is orange juice!

Next is the Cleanse; this is when you start to really get to the dirty hard part! Drinking only the 'lemonade' stuff as your meals and then washing it all out with a salt water drink at night. Salt water cannot mix with anything in your body and has to leave instantly. Sounds great, right? So, this goes on day and night for about a week (or as long as you can/can't stand).

Then you go backwords with the Ease Out; which is the Ease In, only preformed backwords so you are slowly reintroduced back onto solid food! This part is one of the most importants. If you rush back onto food, you're stomach will disagree. And that is not pleasant, I am sure.



So today is day one!
I'll blog about it tomorrow, right now I am beat! But I have some cleaning up to do and gotta take the doggie out and all this silly house wife like stuff!
