Today is Day 1 off the cleanse and I am so excited to get back to food. I am hungry and drinking this OJ is not doing much. My Uncle called and invited me to Red Robin for my cousin's birthday. Told him no I am on day one off the cleanse.
I am going to be making some soup today, cause the OJ doesn't last long. I will drink more broth than anything. I have just finished my first cup of OJ which I did drink it slow. It took me over an hour.
After going to the gym, I was feeling weak. I came home and had some soup, mostly broth with some crackers. I feel asleep for a while then had a little more, more vegetables this time with crackers. That was an hour and half ago, and I am hungry again. Its Crazy!

Day 10 (10/24/07)
Day 10 is finally here!!!! It feels like forever! Weighed in at 224 today, thats 17 pounds and I am done. I wanted to do 15 days but because I was only doing it for the weight loss, I feel like I am kinda loosing the battle. At least I did the minimum.
Drinking this annoying lemonade and about to make my way out to the gym to waste time. I went to the gym and did 45 mins of workout. Then my grandmother made Chicken Catchatori tonight. I took some out of the pan and froze it for next week.
I am drinking the last 10 ounces of this tea. OH YEAH!!!!!! Tomorrow I am starting out with my Simply Orange and I will have my soup in the afternoon. I can't go a whole day only on that orange juice. Well I decided the first thingPublish Post I am going to have after the soup is Butternut Squash Fries.
Well, I am taking the last few sips and no more tea, last night was it! Somebody on the site said they read we weren't supposed to take it, so I'm not. Yeah, I am DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Day 9 (10/23/07)
Day 9 and feeling fine! One more day to go, I can't wait!!! The tea is not moving well, and I am getting so sick and tired of this. It didn't move well yesterday either. Scale is at 227 and I am just PISSED!!!!! I have even been going to the gym. Whatever!
Took my swf this morning and haven't had anything else just to see what the scale will say when all of the sw is out. Was gonna go to the gym, but don't want to so I will make my solution and have a glass of ice water. Just tried the scale again and I am at 225.4. 16 pounds!!!! Much better.
I am going to make up 30 ounces to have during class. I barely drank the lemonade during class, no surprise there. I went to Walmart after class and got some more maple syrup because I have about 2 tablespoons left. I guess I could have used that as an excuse to quit, but I want to do this right. One day left!!!!!!!!
So, I also bought pizza crust for this philly cheese steak recipe I found and some Simply Orange (I don't care what they say about the pasteurization) and some boxes of mac & cheese (mexican and bohemian mac and cheese). I forgot the ground chicken (or beef).
Well anyway I am trying to get down the last of my lemonade and then gonna take my tea.

Day 8 (10/22/07)
Day 8 and feeling decent. I decided I am not going 15 days, I am ready to eat! Didn't lose pounds today at 226.4. Whatever. 15 pounds is really good. As you can see, I am lacking in enthusiasm. I can't wait for this cleanse to be over.
My tea didn't move today until I was ready to take the swf. I don't feel like I got all the swf out though. I went to the gym and worked out for 50 mins and stopped by the store to get some mixed vegetables for my soup. I am still trying to get down the last of my first 30 ounces of solution. I can't wait to eat again!!!
I have been trying to decide what would be the first thing I want post cleanse (after soup). I will be drinking the Simply Orange again cause I can't take the fresh squeezed. I want a gyro (cause it is on tv) but I know it will be a few days before I can. I even found a recipe for steak gorgonzola alfredo!!!! I am gonna have some good eating (hope I don't gain all the weight back!).
I am drinking the last of my lemonade then on to some tea.

Day 7 (10/21/07)
Day 7 and down 15 pounds!!!! When I got on the scale this morning it was at 226.8. I was happy about that. That tea woke me up around 5am and I let it move. After I was done I felt like I still had to go. At 7am I took the swf. At church, I couldn't really drink my solution. I left immediately after service, I didn't want to stay around and be tortured watching everybody enjoying the food. I think day 10 will be it. I am hungry and want to start eating. I will take it day by day, but I am ready to make food.
After church, I came straight home and after using the bathroom I got on the scale and it said 226.2 twice, then when I tried the third time it said 227.2. I think I should only weigh myself once, when I wake up after the tea moves.

Day 6 (10/20/07)
Today is Day 6 and I am feeling much better today. I woke up about 5 to let the smooth move do its work. I got on the scale and it said 229. I was ok with that. When I got up for good, I weighed myself again and it said 228.8. 13 pounds!!!! I am glad I skipped a pound. I kinda need to lose 2 pounds a day to get my results. I had a stomach ache before the smooth move got totally out of my system. Well, I am about to drink my swf.
Today, I am having some major struggles cause I want to eat. I had to take a break from looking at recipes cause I want almost everything I see. My grandmother is making food for my Pastor's Anniversary tomorrow. She is making cabbage, potato salad, banana pudding, dressing, seven layer salad, baked chicken and pink salad. A lot of food right?! I said I was gonna freeze the cabbage and dressing. I want to try some of the cheeseburger recipes I found.
I want to eat and I don't really want so much healthy food. I want to try my butternut squash and some beans. But then I keep thinking I want to get to 215. That is the barrier I need to break. I keep telling myself that I can also do 3 day fasts every once in a while. Right now I will be taking it day by day, but absolutely have to have the minimum of 10 days.
On my way to bed after drinking my tea. Tomorrow will be a trying day. (fingers crossed)

Day 5 (10/19/07)
Day 5 and I am doing a little better. Last night, my back was stiff where I couldn't bend over to look at my shoes. And I had cramps. I have a full period now! I went to bed and slept ok, but my back is still slightly stiff today. I weighed in this morning at 231.8. I am not excited about that. Yesterday I was at 232.0 so that is not even a pound. But every lost is something. Anyway I am sitting here drinking my lemonade and planning my day.
After drinking my SWF, my scale said 231.0, so I guess I just had to flush the tea's elimination out. I went to the gym and worked out for 55 mins. I felt good after going. I got home and finished my teas, drank my smooth move at night.

Day 4 (10/18/07)
I am starting on Day 4 and down 9 pounds!!!!! I popped on the scale this morning and it was at 232.0. I am so excited!!!! Its the milestones like this that keep me going. I feel a little I don't know today. I think I have mild cramps, but my period has been super crazy the last 2 months since starting new birth control. I hope it is my period.
Today I am going back to the gym today. I haven't been since Monday (Tuesday - class, Wednesday - interview). I also want to go into Target to get my Deceptively Delicious book. So I kinda plan to keep myself a little busy instead of just sitting around my house all day. Right now I am just sitting around drinking my SWF. I am going to make up my 30 ounces of lemonade and go to the gym around 12.
So, I took a detox bath because I was having cramps. I decided I wasn't going to the gym so I went to the stores instead. I got all of my lemonade in and found more recipes.
Some new ones are Crab Cakes, Churros, Fried Cookie Dough, Pound Cake (1/2 chocolate, 1/2 vanilla & chocolate chip).
I have drank my tea so I am heading off to bed.

Day 3 (10/17/07)
I woke up this morning, knowing I had to go. So once I finally got up, then I went to let out what the smooth move created. Now I am sitting here sipping my SWF. I weighed in this morning and 235.8!!!! Thats an extra pound from last night. I am thinking of going the full 15 days.
So I had to go downtown for an interview and decided that I wouldn't drink too much while down there. (public bathrooms suck!) I sucked down my lemonade finally around 5. I made 10 ounces and forced myself to get it in, then another 10, now I am about to finally make the last 10 (9:25pm)
I have this obsessive thing going on with the scale. I weighed myself in at 234.0 around 8:15. 7 pounds!!!!! I decided to make a list of all the things I want to eat once I finish cleansing. Last time I had some recipes I wanted to try that I never got to. So here are the items so far:
My sister told me not to talk to her about anymore food recipes. I told my grandmother that cleansing helps me to remember I was bored with food before and looking up the recipes while cleansing gives me something to look forward to. She understands.
I will have a cup of nasty smooth move and probably weigh myself again tonight and record it tomorrow.

Day 2 (10/16/07)
Today is Day 2 and I am feeling better. I started my morning out with the SWF. I got on the scale around 2am and it was at 238.2. I was feeling happy about that. Then once I got up, it was still there. After the SWF took its effect and was cleared, my scale read 237.2!!!! I am pumped. I wanted some of Taco Bell's new Chili Cheese Nachos, but it will be there after I am done cleansing, so no rush. I am excited with those few pounds.
Today may be a bit difficult just because I have class and no drinks in the studio, but I will figure it out. I am about to make a batch of lemonade. I made 30 ounces of lemonade to take to class, but I don't think I even drank 10 ounces.
I tried to make myself chug it down after class, but I didn't finish the first batch until 7pm. Then I decided I wanted something different, so I made 15 ounces and mixed it in a blender with some ice to make a slushie. Then I took some Cayanne Pepper. The smoothie made it different so I wasn't so bored with the lemonade. Tasting the lemonade the regular way takes me back to the 1st cleanse and bores me.
I have a new craving today. I want some bbq pulled beef and broccoli.
I had a warm 10 ounces of lemonade to polish off my day. Then I had that tea. I couldn't help it, so I weighed myself before going to bed. 236.8!!! I felt great going to bed.

Master Cleanse 2 (10/15/07)
Today is Day 1 of Master Cleanse 2! I decided it was time to detox after loosing my job and putting on about 10+ pounds. I started last night with some smooth move tea. I got up before 7 for a first elimination, not very productive. I laid back down, but my stomach was aching a little. So I got up and got my water ready for my SWF. I went and propped up in my bed after checking the raw food site. My stomach started moving. I went to the bathroom and it was quite a bit in there. Then I butt peed off and on for about an hour. I started to get hungry, so I made 10 ounces of lemonade.
This morning I weighed in at 241.2 so I did a lot of damage since my last master cleanse. I did phentermine pills in April and got down to 218, so it looks even worse. But I will do better. I am thinking of making this cleanse 15 days. I have a weight goal in mind (205) and a boyfriend that I want to see me looking good.
Tonight, I had a small headache and a burning feeling in my chest. I slept with my pillows propped up for a while, then after doing some burping around 2am, I was fine. The smooth move tea I took before bed moved before I went to sleep.
