Master Clease - Fifth Day!

I can't believe how good I feel, I feel like I could keep this up forever, of course if I start thinking about food, my mouth does start to water.

I finally used up all my celery and romaine so no green juice today, just lemonade, well except for the salt wash first thing this morning. Even that didn't have much of an affect on me, don't think there's much there.

I'm feeling so clear, my eyesight has even improved slightly and my skin is so healthy looking. My tongue has been slightly coated the last couple of days so used my tongue scraper and got rid of that.

My Zeolite arrived yesterday so I started using that. It helps to get rid of heavy metals among other things. My husband, Bob, started doing the cleanse today so its going to be a real adjustment not to have meals this weekend, what will we do??

I've been looking for a water purifier and I found one that looks really good. There's a write up about it on the website www.H3Environmental.com This website has a lot of other really great stuff too!

That's it for today.
Have a really great weekend!

Day Four

Wow, it sure seems like I'm going through a lot of maple syrup, maybe I'll cut back some, I'm not used to so much sugar.

Sleeping seems to be my biggest issue right now, sure wish I could sleep a litle longer, was awake again at 3:30 and just slept off and on until I got up at 6:00 so its 8:30 pm and I'm ready for bed. Maybe its the maple syrup.

I'm still drinking my laxative tea morning and night, wonder how long I should keep that up.

Today I had 10 cups of lemonade and two green juices (celery and romaine). I really think I should cut back on the maple syrup.

No obvious detox symptoms today, not sure if that's good or bad.

It was a beautiful sunny day today but very cold. I did get out today, did a couple of errands, one of them getting more lemons, and went to visit a friend. I can't remember if I mentioned that I broke a bone in my foot a week before coming home from CR so I'm still not back to work and have been pretty immobile, something I'm not used to.

Feeling a little down tonight, think I'm just tired.
Calling it a day.

Day Three

I was awake a lot last night, not sure why. I'm sure not sleeping very well since I started this cleanse but I didn't feel tired today, in fact, I felt great! That kind of surprises me as I was thinking day three might be the hardest. I don't think I'm very toxic as I've been eating mainly raw for about eight years now but we recently got back from spending eight weeks in Costa Rica where we didn't stick strictly to raw. Hope I feel this good tomorrow.

First thing this morning I had a laxative tea, I also had one last evening. Had very little action in that department today so we'll see what tomorrow brings, might have to do one of those salt washes, it really doesn't sound too appealing.

I had some really nice organic celery and romaine lettuce in the fridge that wouldn't keep for 10 days so I had a green juice this morning. I know that's not part of this cleanse but I was wondering if the odd juice would be better than consuming so much maple syrup as long as I don't run low on energy.

Other than that, during the day I had 8 cups of lemonade and really didn't feel hungry at all. My sister called and they were going out to a steakhouse with my brother and his wife to celebrate my sister and sister-in-law's birthdays and asked me to join them. I really would have liked to see them all but couldn't bring myself to go and watch them eat what they eat and also I wasn't sure what that steakhouse smell would do to me.

It's 7:30 pm and I'm having my last drink of the day, my herbal tea.
I'm not feeling tired now, but it seems to hit me all of a sudden around 9:30.

So, until tomorrow

Second Day of my Master Clease

I knew when I got back from Costa Rica that I wanted to do a clease of some sort. I considered doing the 92 Day Juice Feast but then when Tera mentioned she was doing the Master Clease and sent me some info, I thought I'd give it a try too and my goal is to do it for 10 days.

Yesterday was a pretty busy day so it went fast and I had no real hunger, when I did start to feel hungry, I just drank more lemonade. First thing in the morning yesterday I had a laxative tea and during the day I had 12 cups of lemonade and in the evening I had another cup of laxative tea. I was really tired and fell asleep at my computer around 9:30 pm, which really isn't unusual for me, so went to bed and slept until 3:30 am. I got up for a bit and read then went back to bed until 7:00.

Today, first thing, I had a cup of laxative tea and since everything seems to be fine in that area, I haven't done a salt wash. So far today I've had about 8 cups of lemonade (it's now 2:30 pm). I planned to stay home all day today and tomorrow because in the past when I've done a fast, which have always been juice fasts, the second and third day were the hardest for me; but, touch wood, today's been great but I am taking it easy and not doing anything strenuous. The only symptom I have is a very slight headache that comes and goes and I feel a bit more tired than usual.

One little tip, I make a quart of lemonade at a time, I find it more convenient and also I can keep better track of how much I'm drinking. I also make it with warm water and keep it warm by setting the jar in a bowl of hot water. The last thing I feel like doing in this cold weather is drinking a cold drink.

That's all for this lemony day!
