master cleanse



Today is the first day of my master cleanse. I'm thinking it's going to be a lot harder than I anticipated, but it is something I really want to finish. I will leave out the gross details, but here is what has happened so far. This morning I started with a salt water bath which is not a bath in a tub of salt water. It is actually a rough experience. I had to drink a quart (4 cups) of water mixed with 2 teaspoons of sea salt. I never realized how much 4 cups is until I had to get this stuff down. After about 30 minutes, I finally finished it. Each day I'm supposed to drink 6-12 glasses of the lemonade drink, which consists of 2 Tbl of lemon juice, 2 Tbl maple syrup, 1/10 tsp of cayenne pepper and 8 oz of water. It was actually a treat to drink after the salt water. It was all gong well until the last sip. All the cayenne pepper had sunk to the bottom, so my last sip was very hot. My mouth is still hot and it was about 30 minutes ago that I drank it. I'm hoping I can stick to this because there are so many health benefits to it. 10 days and counting....

You can do it! I know it has been and will be tough, but I know you can do it, and you will be an inspiration to us all! :) I keep thinking of things to do this week while we "hang out" but they all involve food, so I'll keep thinking!! :) Love you!
