day 3 of the master cleanse

today started out great!
i had extra energy and again was amazed at what the body can do with no food.
i do seem to be easier to get cranky. but i get out of it quick.
by 8 or 9 though, i was really hungry! really really hungry...i didnt give in to temptation and instead tried the salt water flush. oh my! chugging the salt water was awful...then 40 minutes later i felt disgusting. then everything just came out. i felt bloated in the abdomen and generally just not good.
in my head though, i know its for the good cause of cleansing my systems. and i do feel that the toxins are leaving.
i decided today that im going to see how tomorrow goes and if i cant stand it ill ease my way back into a regular diet.
still at 214 but i look a lot thinner...hopefully i can put the weight back when this is over.

Day 2 of Master Cleanse

Well this morning I felt great!
My body definitely knows that it isn't getting food anytime soon, but it seems to be okay with it. I do feel hungry though, but I've felt hungrier going from lunch to a late dinner, so its not bad.
I'm surprised at how much energy I do have still. Hopefully it keeps up.
I've been going to the gym to keep my muscles in check, and I'm at 214 now...getting skinny for this 6'4" frame.
Looking forward to getting through this cleanse!
On to day 3.

Day 1 of actual Master Cleanse

So today was the first day of the Lemonade, Cayenne, Maple Syrup concoction.
Feeling kinda hungry today...any thought of food turns into a strange psychological struggle. I can visualize and feel the food in my mouth...weird.

but I'm staying strong. I don't think it will be too hard. I'm shooting for ten days, so I got nine more to go.

I went to the gym last night, not sure if I should be working out with no calorie intake, but I weighed myself and I lost 6 pounds already...probably more today.
Argh, that's too much. I wish it wasn't so drastic.

oh well on to day 2

MASTER CLEANSE DAY 3 Orange Juice Day

3 days ago I decided to start a Master Cleanse, also known as the Lemonade Diet.
The First three days are considered the Ease In period...
Day 1 consisted of raw fruits and veggies and juice
Day 2 consisted of liquids only, soup, juice, smoothies
And now Day 3 is just orange juice.

To my surprise, I'm not very hungry, yet. I guess the psychological side of knowing that I'm doing this for a good reason is helping to quell the hunger.
Tomorrow I begin the main part of the cleanse which consists of lemon juice, mixed with maple syrup and cayenne pepper.
This will hopefully push out all of the toxins and crap in my digestive system and leave me cleansed. I plan on changing my diet to that of a much healthier person afterwards as well...though lately I've been eating very well, I just want to make sure I'm treating my body well.

Hopefully my weight won't fluctuate too much, but the loss of a few pounds will be helpful. I'm at my heaviest right now, 222 lbs., though I'm in great shape so I think this is where I'm supposed to be...maybe even heavier.
