Hi all,
Today is the 2nd day of my cleanse. I struggled somewhat yesterday and this morning. I haven't gotten over the urge to eat something. It's completely out of habit, though, as I have not really felt hungry. I've been doing the cleanse as planned: yesterday, I did the internal salt water bath, a half hour of yoga, a laxative tea, and my lemonade. I only had 4 cups in the whole day (planned to have 8) because I slept in till 9:30, and did't have my first lemonade till after noon. Then I lazed around and napped a little, and went to bed early. I also forgot to have my 2 TB of olive oil (1 TB twice a day). So I'll try to improve today. I did my 30 minutes of yoga, drank my laxative tea, and prepared 3 cups of lemonade for the work day (should've made like 5, but I didn't have enough lemons). I'll stop at the store on my way home to get a big bag of lemons for tonight, tomorrow, and maybe the next day. The farmer's market comes on Wednesdays, so I'll get more then too.
I bought a scale this weekend to chart the progress of my cleanse. I weighed in at 141lbs on Sunday morning, the first day of the cleanse. I was surprised, as I thought I was a little heavier than that, but I'll take it! This morning, the second day of my cleanse, I weighed in at 139. So that's some good progress. I expect that the weight loss will slow down toward the end, as there is less and less being eliminated. And keep in mind I will also gain the majority of this weight back once I start eating regularly again. But hopefully this will assist me in losing weight once I neutralize after the cleanse.
So far, so good!
I'll check in tomorrow =]
Becky
