Day 11

I'm on Day 11, last night I fell asleep early anoud 12 am, woke up at 1 am and got up at 7 am. So 7 hours sleep. I weight 140 pounds today
I can tell you that my hunger is very much gone, I feel im deep into the cleanse. Which is good. I'm confident I can do it. My friend came over last night with Greek Food which I love and was nauseaus looking at it which is good.
My tongue today is really gross. I have been chewing altoids throughout the cleanse , i have no choice i work everyday and everybody would be repelled by me if I didn't. I still feel low on energy, not this energy kick everyone talks about. I think I may drink some more LD drinks today to see if that improves my energy level..My lower back is still killing me.

I'm going to try some detox baths as well.

I found some links for some good Detox bath recipes

http://www.ourlittleplace.com/detox.html

The Ginger bath is really great, i used it on my last cleanse, it swets the toxins out..
This is the link ,http://www.qfac.com/detox/ginger_detox.html

I'm going to do the dry skin brushing as well. I use a massage oil afterwards on my aching muscles. I also drop some of this oil into my bath. This oil smells like a spa and its all natural. Its called Detox massage oil by Plantlife. Whole FOods sells the line so does Amazon.
I didn't go to WHole Foods yesterday, was so tired. Today I will go and pick up the smooth move, epsom salt, maple syrup.

My eliminations still are not alot, i worry about that because i have been drinking the smooth move twice a day.

I have been reading about some other celebs who did the Master Cleanse besides Beyonce and Robin Quivers..Jared Leto gained 60 pounds for a part in a movie then lost it with Master Cleanse, I think he did it for 30 days and he got gout from it which worries me. I think a weight loss of over 30 pounds on MC could be unhealthy Look at the before and after.



Anyway..I have a busy day again, i have to drop my cat off at the vet to have her teeth cleaned -he has to put her out, hope she'll be ok, then off to work, then pick up my cat and back home and then shopping at whole foods.

I will update later
UPDATE:
7:30 PM
I'm still tired. but i feel good. My cravings are all gone. I have no desire for food, so thats the plus.
Went to WHole foods and brought maple syrup, smooth move, etc.. gonna take a detox bath soon and get to bed early

10 pm---I did the ginger detox bath- wow this was great, supposedly it sweats the toxins out of you, I do feel so much better -refreshed. Maybe it will ease my tiredness tomorrow. I got so HOT in the tub, i only lasted 20 minutes instead of 30 but i reccomend this to anyone whos on MC. i read if you have high blood pressure or heart problems dont do the ginger bath detox.

DAY 10 !!

Robin Quivers from the Howard Stern Show- My inspiration.She lost 70 pounds on the master cleanse and she looks great. I find it very inspiring,read her story

Today is Day 10, Lets say I did not get that much sleep last night, insomnia. The 10 days have gone by so fast I cant tell you. I remember when I started feeling like the 10 Days were so far away. Well now I'm here and it was difficult but I made it. I weigh 140 today. If I made it to Day 10, I feel Yes I can do 11 more days so I will and depending on how I feel 10 days from now I may even go for 30 days total, But right now my goal is to finish the 21 days total'
I still think im bloated from PMS. And I also worry about the SWF and all that salt i drank. In total that is an 8 pound weight loss. My clothes do feel loose, my jeans are loose. I have dropped one size. I can tell you that it feels great. Im feeling less fat. Even my winter coat is looser.
I started the Master Cleanse at 147 pound, Before I was on the MC I was on the Fat Flush Plan and weighed 156, I lost 9 pounds on it in about 3 weeks but got stuck, i was also working out 1 hour a day. so I came on the MC weighing 147 ..
so in total ive lost 16 pounds since January. .

Well today I must skip the SWF, i will drink my lax tea though. I have a full day ahead at work, busy. I'm looking foward to it because it gets my mind off of food and lemonade, i pack a 32 oz with me of LD. Also I notice when go to work and come home, I weigh less than I did in the morning. I also walk 40 minutes after work back home. I live in NYC so its easy.
I will update tonight here when I get back from work. Stay Strong!

I reccomend reading this article about fasting, its very good and informative.

UPDATE: 5:30 pm
Just wanted update from work, i feel really tired, i think its because of me only sleeping 3 hours last night, I'm about to leave to go home soon, I just have to walk to Whole Foods about 12 blocks to pick up smooth move. I hope when i get to my building i dont run into anyone, i have these neighbours who when i come home act like they want to talk for an hour. I'll just walk into my building talking on my cell , that'll deter them.

DAY 9 CRANKY AND MOODY

I kinda feel like this cat today, I am so Cranky and Moody, my friend was starting to get on my nerves and i had to tell her im busy to further avoid myself being nasty to her.

Today is day 9 I most defenitley have PMS. I weighed myself and I was 141.5, maybe I am bloated from the PMS. I hope. I slept for 9 hours. Maybe I'm cranky because of both MC and PMS, what a combo-ha

I did the SWF. I only had one elimination same as yesterday, not sure what I'm doing wrong. I did drink Smooth Moove later and had 4 elimnations..
I feel tired, drained, cant wait to get back to work tomorrow to get my mind off of food.
I froze some lemon juice which i add a cube in fresh water, tastes nice. Also I found this ice cube tray that freezes liquiid into a nice popsicle treat. I would love to put the LD in that.. I already put some LD in the ice cube tray, i like sucking on it, like a treat.


My head feels a little foggy and headachey. my back is killing me. Ill try and work out tonight if i feel i can. In fact I ordered a memory foam matress pad for my bed, think it will help my back pain

Day 8 Salt Water Flush

Today is Day 8, I woke up and weighed 139.0 pounds, so in total so far i have lost 9 pounds, 13 more days to go. I hope to be 13 pounds less-126..

Today I feel better, i may not even be having PMS, its weird my breasts got swelled up and i was so sure i would be soon getting my period but i havent,, maybe its the detox effect, some years ago i was having problems with my breasts swelling, maybe from detoxing its showing signs.

Well i slept about 7 hours today, got up and did the SWF for the first time since ive been on the cleanse. I cant do it during the week because i have work very early and its impossible to do the SWF at work since i work in fast paced industry-advertising, on my feet all day with meetings, etc.

It was really hard drinking the SWF, i almost felt like throwing up, I heated it up in the microwave and drank it slowly,, resisting the urge to purge. Very gross, Ran to my bed and laye don my side for about 30 minutes rubbing my tummy. Then i drank my lemon drink. After an hour i had bowel movements..
Also i noticed when i did the SWF my whole face turned flushed, red.. maybe thats the affect of the salt.

Well im going to take it easy today and stay home, I don't want to get together with friends as they have no idea I am doing this, I don't need to be preached too or tempted to eat. I simply told everyone I have projects this month and deadlines.
I only told my Mom and brother, at first they thought I was crazy but now think its fine, my brother wanted to do it, he tasted the MC drink and almost threw up, Ha, he never drinks juice or anything healthy just sodas, etc, So for him I guess its gross.

I told him to try maybe a different juice fast or just water for a couple of days.
I think the MC drink tastes ok, not gret but its ok, nothing gross to me.. I have become accustomed to it..

I think tonight Ill exercise a little not too much but just take it easy.

I am going to try this lemon face mask later
I have eczema on my t-zone on my face and this says it helps it

This is what you will need:
If you have dry skin, mix some olive oil with a spoonful of honey and a dash of lemon juice as a face pack.
One small banana


Apply over clean face and leave it on for about 5 to 10 minutes. Cleanse it with warm water and apply toner and moisturizer.

Also i made of list of foods I want to eat when i finish the cleane in the future. In NYC we have an online Grocery store thats excellant, you order your food online and they ship to you the next day-its the best thing thats happened to NY. http://www.freshdirect.com

DAY6

I was out pretty much all day, working and shopping late, i did alot of walking. I came home and i weighed 142.5, So maybe tomorrow ill be 142.

I;m just feeling very tired, my lower back is killing me. But my cravings are totally gone, i feel moody and irritable, maybe thats my detox symptoms, well i gotta keep going, Maybe ill go to bed early tonight.

I havent been doing the SWF because it takes me 4 hours for everything to come out and its really impossible when I have to be at work at 8am and in no way can i do at work so i just take the CHocolate Smooth Move. twice a day but it doesnt seem to be working.

I notice my thinking is a little foggy, i forgot some things at home in the morning and thats very unlike me

Tomorrow is Valentines Day, How sad no chocolate tomorrow or a nice dinner :(
Just Lemons

Day 5 Master Cleanse

I started the Master Cleanse this past Saturday, so today makes Day 5 of the Master Cleanse.
My height is : 5'5
weight: 143.0- 5 pound loss so far, I started at 158 pounds.

I did a cleanse in the summer for 20 days so this time I would like to do 21 and hopefully see a weight loss of 20 pounds.
Its easier this time around, im not craving badly, the past few days i got by ok. Not dying to eat. Today I slept so long and felt tired, i feel low on energy.
I also am unable to do SWF everyday because of work, so i reserve that for the weekends.
Today was fine, i also have been putting cilantro and mint leaves in my water, i like the taste.
I dont have hunger but my sense of smell is so high, my roommate was cooking chicken and i could smell it a mile away. but i resisted.
Worked all day had my Lemonade all day and some peppermint tea.. Only complaint is i couldnt sleep for some reason..
I hope to get to Day 21, seems far away but i know by this weekend my body will be accustomed to fasting.
I really hope i lose the weight.
This lemon squeezer works great for getting the jucie of the lemons


Snowed today..was pretty
