Day 5

Ok, so even though the stuffing got me last night, and I almost ate two tacos...I PUSHED THROUGH IT!! I made it and didn't blow it.I am really glad because I honestly almost gave up.There are some questions as to how safe this whole thing is,but I am gonna keep at it until I feel it is unhealthy for me personally.I'm down 3 lbs from yesterday so thats a plus,I know that any weight loss during the detox will most likely come back but I plan on re starting weight watchers once I'm done with this which I know works for me .I have lost over 60 lbs with it.Ok so day 5....bring it on!More later...

damn stuffing!

Since this is a tell all blog and im trying to be completely honest about my experience..... I guess i have to fess up to the fact that i ate a TINY bit of stuffing that my husband made. I know ,i know, its bad but hey its been 4 days with no food...cut me some slack!

ewwww

So its still day four and I'm feeling a lil nauseous and Ihave zero energy. I feel really drained and sleepy. I had THE WORST cramps earlier during a bm and it really sucked!I really did want to quit today but its day 4, I mean I have come this far so I know I can do it. I think if I get through the weekend I will be in the clear.I need to keep busy.Im not giving up yet I really wanna make it to 10 days no more...no less!

Day 4 and still kicking!

Well well well...today is the start of day 4 for me and who would have thought? I myself am even surprised that I have made it this far.Yesterday was by far my worst day. The salt water flush sucked! But today I just did the lax tea instead.It does make you cramp but it is not nearly as bad as the salt water. I got on the scale and managed to gain a lb from yesterday..what the heck?! I didn't drink all my lemonade yesterday I left off with two cups left to drink..thats the only thing I can think of as far as a reason why I gained a lb. tomorrows w.i better be brighter or I know the discouragement will set in.6 days left of this and I'm determined to keep it up!

Thank heavens

Day 3 is almost over and day 4 shall begin.I had kind of a ruff day today because that stupid salt water had me feeling like I had been hit by a truck.I'm drinking my laxative tea now ....bring on the cramps!! They don't last too long but they are a drag.I'm pretty pumped about being on day 4..this is the longest I have ever gone without food and I just keep thinking of how great it will be to finish day ten and know I made my goal. The temptations to eat are enormous but I am fighting through them.My husband is making cookies as I type this..he always gets the baking bug this time of year,in his defense, he did check with me first(so stop thinking what a jerk he must be..he is a GREAT guy)I am getting pretty tired of the lemonade,i guess variety really is the spice of life.

Day three cont.......

oK I am officially DONE with the salt water flush.For those of you who dont know what im talking about it is a concoction of a quart of luke warm water and two teaspoons of sea salt. not only does it suck trying to get it down, but I feel soo bad afterwards all nauseous and sick and all.And its been 2 hours and I have not stopped feeling this way. And Im not sure if all of my "reductions" are supposed to be in liquid form but they are :(. I don't have a desire to eat anything I just want to stop feeling like crap! I have not dank any lemonade yet today because my stomach has not stopped hurting enough in my opinion. Oh well..im gonna try and drink some water and take a lie down

Day three....

So its the morning of day three.I am NOT HAPPY. I feel like s@#$ today. I took the laxative tea last night before bed and it still has not run its course,my stomach is extra crampy and whenever I do have a movement it is not very much.I am supposed to do a laxative this morning too..but since i feel the one from last night is not done,I think ill hold off on that,hope it doesn't hurt me in a significant way.I did hop on the scale and Im down 2 from yesterday so thats a total of 6 lbs in 2 days!!I can tell today is gonna be much harder than the past two days but,I am determined to make it. More later...

Ahh...day two almost down!

Well it is nine at night and that means that day two of my journey has almost come to an end. Today was a little harder than yesterday. What sucks is having to make dinner for my family...that really sucks.I started experiencing some side effects..body aches and a nice little pain in my side.My tongue was white and fuzzy all day which is supposed to be a sign that it is working.Tomorrow is day 3 and to be honest I almost can't believe I have mad it this far..sad huh? The laxative tea sucks!! It gives me the worse cramps which is something I was pre warned about,at least they don't last too long. Well tomorrow is day three and I'm still going strong.

Oh for those interested today is only day two and I'm down 4 lbs!!

One down...9 to go!

Ok so yesterday was day one and I made it !!! I really didn't get too hungry but the headaches really did set in.The lemonade taste pretty good,I had to cut down on the pepper because it made it impossible to drink.I even made dinner for my family and managed to not even take a little taste!Today is day two and I'm optimistic.I have to go drink my laxative tea now and then some of the lemonade..keeping busy really helps to get through the day.Wish me luck..day two is off to a great start!

And it's day one.....

So Its day one and I started with the salt water flush which is supposed to help loosen the crap you have built up in your body.I won't lie,the salt water is NOT FUN and I literally was in the bathroom about 15 mins after drinking it.My husband arose and started supporting me by eating my FAVORITE potatoes for breakfast....sounds bad ..but i swear he really is a good guy. :) Anyway im off to drink some lemonade so until next time..

Maple syrup issue!

I discovered last night that I had the wrong maple syrup! I need grade b, and I had grade a, so now I have to wait until I can get back down to trader Joe's and pick some up.They run about 50 bucks a gallon and I'll need just about that much for the 10 days..yikes! Oh well....I'm figuring that I'll be ready to start for real by Monday. Check back and see!

I CAN do this!!

Ok so tomorrow morning will be day one. I'm having some doubts about if I can make it 10 day without any solid food.I try to think of all the positive effects the cleanse will have on my body and it does help....Kinda.I bought all the stuff I need.It was kinda hard trying to track down a laxative tea..I finally found some at an organic market.I have lemons for days!! All in all its costing my about 20-25 bucks to do the program..that isn't much compared to some of these other detox kits running about 59 bucks each..uh...no thanks! Any who stay tuned and feel free to offer some encouragement. It will be an interesting journey I'm sure.
