Days 1, 2, and 3 were fine. Day 4 was super hard...I was super depressed and all I wanted to do was eat. Today is day 6 and this morning sucked! I woke up around 7 am feeling super weak, faint, and agitated. I did the SWF around 10 and felt much better. However I am still thinking about food way more than i want to be. My positive attitude that i've had since day one has almost disappeared. I considered doing 8 days of the cleanse...but I know I have the will power to do 10. Frigg....Oh well...its good for me and I gotta stick to it. Day 6

Man oh man today was tough! Days 1, 2, and 3 were fine. Day 4 was super hard…I was super depressed and all I wanted to do was eat. Today is day 6 and this morning sucked! I woke up around 7 am feeling super weak, faint, and agitated. I did the SWF around 10 and felt much better. However I am still thinking about food way more than i want to be. My positive attitude that i’ve had since day one has almost disappeared. I considered doing 8 days of the cleanse…but I know I have the will power to do 10. Frigg….Oh well…its good for me and I gotta stick to it.

My roommate decided to follow her co-worker in the challenge and I decided to join in bc we live together n it would only be fair for me to be enduring the challenge w a partner @ home so that we could be each others support! Also so we wouldn't tempt each other w food while we were @ home! I like a good challenge n wanted to put this cleanse to the test ~ I just have bunch of tid bits of info that I'd like to add that I haven't read on others posts: 1. If ur going to be successful w the cleanse; definately do it w a partner, preferably the person or ppl w whom u live w! 2. It's only been easier for us bc I'm in event promotions and my roommate has a Chef position which has been super tough for her, but we have unique schedules that have allowed us to get through the cleanse easier than if we had a 9 to 5 3. It's a good idea to b alone alot while cleansing bc you will b reflecting and adjusting to a different lifestyle much different from your usual one. For example, I'm used to planning and organizing dinners for friends and making food and having wine and I spent alot of time surrounding those parties so you will have alot of time on your hands to read and write and watch some flicks. This week alone I had to cancel a charity fund raiser in fear of being tempted by food and cocktails n wine bc that's what my friend Jasmyn and I enjoy when we're together, a sushi dinner w one of my besties and her Mother with whom I adore bc that's what we do when all 3 of us get together is make a yummy cheese plate and drink copious amounts of delicious vintage vino and a massive bday party last night bc when the 25 of us rented chalet in Collingwood for NYE this year we had flip cup championships, and I was apart of the 12 person Champs of course and then in the mornings I made my bf and I brie grilled cheese with sliced pears and tomatoe chutney for breakfast!! So, as a foodie, I have really felt the adjustment but it's been a good one! I have more forward looking thoughts to plan out the next day just so that I could get excited about thinking of it so that I could essentially get through that day! 4. It IS TRUE, you really won't be hungry but they say whatever you are craving, you are probably detoxifying at that moment. To be honest, I really have been craving a nice dark leafy green salad with white balsamic and olive oil and some tuna, also some miso soup and some savory crepes and a broccoi cassarole w broccoi soup and grated old cheddar and whole wheat bread crumbs! 5. Interesting factoid for ya'll: the first time I took the Sea Salt Water flush @ 4 pm on day 2 and I went # 2 a whopping 24 times ~ actually, I counted! It was truly amazing! 6. We both found alot of nights our stomaches were cramped and we had to get up to go # 2 a large number of times and we've been going through a crap load of tp lol crap load but yeah 4 rolls in 5 days!! 7. I'm a vegetarian so I have a very healthy diet and I bike and play tennis in the summers and I began snow boarding this winter and we've begun some hot yoga classes another one tomorrow moring! So I've been lucky w the cleanse but I did have hot bowel movements within those first 24 times which indicates that I was passing a large number of toxins at that time, and I had assumed that it was obviously bc of the cayenne??? 8. The cayenne gives you instant energy bc it increases oxygen to your blood stream and speeds up your metabolism, my face usually gets red hot from my first few sips bc I add about a half a tbls to each 1.5 litre water jug! The most the better, oh and it also cuts through the toxic mucus! 9. I'm on day 5 today and just finishing up my Senna tea and salt water flush and I'm off to bed! 10. I'm going to go to yoga tomorrow morning and then decide it I want to continue with the cleanse further, but if I don't I can only drink oj and grapefruit and some home made vegetable soup! I think I'll opt for that option and continue w the salt water flush and senna tea and still drink the lemonade mixture once I get back on track with my proper diet!
