~ * ~ Master Cleanse ~ * ~ Day 9 - Diminishing Effects

OMG, today I am totally like the beginning 2 days; Super tired.

I get to the office a lot early now (at around 8:30) I was going to work a little more ( sort of to compensate the fact that I was not functioning well) but I slept through the morning. Is literally sleep through the morning. good that I did not have my forehead band on the keyboard.

I am not sure this is due to not enough sleep, or walk too much last night, or just the how the diet should be; I am so exhausted, and dying to complete the diet asap...

I am usually the good one who finish all the cups from the rounds without any complain. To this day, I do have to complain..... I lost my interest in the lemonades. They do not taste good anymore... imagine you eat the same thing everyday, every meal for 10 days? it is real hard not to get bore. Anyway, only have 1 more day to go, I am so looking forward to eat again;

Besides all the benefits I mention before, I do discover one more advantage from this diet.

I discover that I wasn't really treasure what I eat before the diet.I guess I am so ready to get back to eat, I am wondering what to eat first. And I even crazy enough to imagine the taste of the food, and the feeling moment when I taste the real food for the first time after 10 days. Most of the time food is just the matter of filling both physically and mentally. I wounder, is it the fact that I haven't have good food for long time? or I had too much different food, and everything (good or bad) seems the same? At this moment, I do know that I want the 1st meal I had after the cleanse (including 2 days of juice) to be perfect. I definitely not willing to have any junk food/fast food/trash food. I wish I can hold on to this "good food" feeling, and keep it because unfortunately I do often choose convenience over taste and health. Wish I can be good!

~ * ~ Master Cleanse ~ * ~ Day 8 - Is a Monday

Since I have moved, I changed my schedule to get up 1 hour earlier, plus IT IS A MONDAY ~ * of course always have a blue moon and .... tired.... so things going so so so slow. Nothing much special but my colleague and I are so proud of each other being able to stick with the diet for 7 days.

Same old routine, 2 cups in the morning, 2 cups in the afternoon; I do not want to go home early, plus I need to get the syrup (it is finished) so I go downtown and {window} shop around after work. Until late... really late when I get home ... almost midnight, I had my last 2 cups and the laxative tea. It is tiring to wandering on the street. I wish I can have a home soon ..... ;(

~ * ~ Master Cleanse ~ * ~ Day 7 - OMG is the Weekend 2

Today I am very behind.... since I over and over sleep and have a lot to do. Because my friend is giving me a ride to return the very heavy cable boxes, I was rushing out of my house without having any lemonade; Yet I did drink my sea salt water. Sleep in between going back and fore to the bathroom. LOL

By the time I got home and made the lemonade is afternoon... so exhausted, but still able to make it home :) I drink 2 lemonades in once because I am so hungry (well not the feeling of hunger, but empty perhaps?) then I start packing. Oh, that's a lot of physical work!! moving around!! and I had my 3rd and 4th cup slowly along with my moving work.

I am able to pack and physically move all the boxes and others out and be ready for my friend. They are not extremely heavy, but given I had only 4 cups of lemonade, I am surprise I can move all the boxes out

I had the last 2 at my friends house. and the tea; then go to bed- be ready and step into my last part of this journey.

~ * ~ Master Cleanse ~ * ~ Day 6 - OMG is the Weekend

Well, I am not a party animal per se, but I do hang out most of the weekends (and friday) Of course no exception for this weekend too! I was supposed to be in Conley Island as the park will soon be gone. However, I am concern about my diet, and the energy level; On top of that I do have the moving thing going on.... so I decided to stay home, packing things and letting people come in my place and take whatever they need (It is real dame horrible!)

As I developed a schedule at the office, I am pretty much stick with it even in the weekend. Little delay because of waking up late; Come on! is a weekend!

~ * ~ Master Cleanse ~ * ~ Day 5 - Half way through!

Woo Hoo!! How excited it is!! It is half way through the 10 days cleanse~

My colleague and I are so happy about it. Especially, I am excited as I am amazed that I am able not to eat for 5 days straight. I guess for most of the people (me included) will wonder if a person could survive without eating 5 days. And the answer is YES; I did it Woo hoo~

For anyone who want to try this cleansing diet; please do beware of the excretion in the morning. It really takes me long time to have it done with in the morning. I was warned in the 1st day of the diet to beware of that; however, the system has kick in just yet; In these 2 days, the system works properly, and the time I spent in the morning .... really..... is quite a lot (compare to my usual get ready time)

~ * ~ Master Cleanse ~ * ~ Day 4 - Fully Functioning

The cleanse is great! I am relax by sticking to the cleanse since I do not have to think about what to eat. I cannot believe how much stress deciding 3 meals causes. Once I started this cleanse, I notice the difference. and I love it. .... thinking about keeping it forever! (just kidding)

Today is quite energetic. I guess my body start getting use to just the lemonade but food; I am fully functioning as well I am going to the GYM for longer hours.

In fact, I am not expecting losing weight from the cleanse; It is more like a challenge for myself to stick with a plan for 10 days long. Of course, I am expecting to clean up the digestive system, even though I do not have any stomach problem. (once in a blue moon) Also, I figure the cleanse might help to regulate the daily route like having 3 meals a day and go the GYM after work, etc.

So far, I am doing good. I would able to stick to the route regularly. I am having my first 2 drinks in the morning, usually will last until about noon time; I then I have the 3rd and 4th drink at around 2:30p; and have the last 2 drinks at night; laxative tea before I go to bed; and go to GYM for half hour to an hour after work.

For those that looking forward to lose weigh, unfortunately I have not yet lose weight...
