It's DAY 8! Eight days of NOT EATING! WOW! I can't believe it. I really don't look forward to the flush. Drinking it isn't very pleasant. I munch on a lemon wedge before and after. It makes it a little more bearable. It's not the worst thing I ever done, but, I just don't look forward to drinking that much at one time.
Well, I am down 6 lbs. and a couple inches total all over. I feel pretty good. Am getting the beginning of a headache. Day 8 for a lot of people is a great day. So far, not so great for me. I am still waiting for that moment of enlightenment.
Second week, new verse: Romans 8:28—And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
I'll have to meditate on that.
Gotta get to work.
It's day 7. I've made it through. I worked the cafe at church. I had to serve coffee drinks and smoothies. I smelled all sorts of pastries. I'm not much of a pastry person, but it smelled gooood.
Actually am having some detox symptoms. I have a headache. I took a nap for about an hour. I also worked out this morning and again in the afternoon. (strength in the am, cardio in the afternoon). I'm planning to watch a movie with the husband tonight. We finally get to hang out. He has been working nights, so I don't see him much anymore. He feels guilty eating in front of me, so I leave the room. It's better for me anyway.
Today, I left to get a movie while they ate and came home with 3 new pairs of shoes (well needed I might add). Torry doesn't know I got them yet. My head really hurts. That's good I guess.
I told my friend Lynne about the cleanse. She is very interested in doing it. I'll have to send her more info.
As you may have noticed, my tongue has a slight yellow tinge to it. I guess that is normal too. I brush my tongue regularly. I asked Torry if I had bad breath. He said it wasn't horrible, but.... I've read of people that stink, so I guess I'm good.
Gotta go. Chao for now.
Day 6 - this is a challenging day. I have a birthday picnic to go to. Actually, I have two, but am only going to one. today I feel ok.. I have energy. I've got a lot to do. I have some work to get done. I'll post more later.

Ok, today was VERY challenging. I had to go to a picnic with burgers and hotdogs, logs of chips, a platter of veggies and fruit.... all so tempting. I wanted to lick them all! I even cut the birthday cake! (my girlfriend likes how I cut cake... she says I'm so efficient.) After the picnic, I headed over to Julies house with the boys and they ordered pizza. It smelled sooooo good! Proud to say, with all the food around, I did not have one lick. I cleaned off my finger of any frosting, ketchup (had to feed the boys). Nothing, nada, ziltch! All I have had is the lemonade.
The day is over and I am very happy. Good night.
Ok - it's day 5. Wow, never thought I'd be here, but here I am. This morning I had a solid elim!. Can you believe it. I haven't eaten in 5 days and something solid comes out. AMAZING!
So far all is good. I'm feeling fine. Still hungry at times, but the lemonade satisfies me. Physically that is. Mentally is another thing. This is a mental detox as well.
I guess that is it for now.
Gotta get back to work.
