Day 3: Master Cleanse
Had a horrible night's sleep. It was wrought full of nightmares and ill-sleep, at least coming towards 5 am. I woke up at 2:47am with the first (or second?) nightmare, and ot trouble falling back asleep. I figured I'd just about fallen back into a light slumber, when I was awakened by the sound of a cat outside wailing like a banshee. Wtf? Was something kiling it? Either way, it was 4:56 and I was a groggy, pathetic mess.
Wonderful.
Great way to start the day. Hardeehar.
I felt weird, thirsty, uncomfortable and icky this morning (before I left the bed), but when I got into the whole SWF thing and started the whole process I woke up. Sorta.
Right now all I want to do is curl back into bed and sleep for a few hours.
Not hungry or anything. I don't know what people complain about, that day 2/3 is the hardest. It's actually getting easier. So it seems. I could be wrong by 8 am.
You definitely need to prepare your body from before so you won't have ridiculous body shockage.
No meat, and lots of fruits, veggies and water.
I have pretty much tried to prep for this for 6 months. I stopped eating meat mostly and in April I ate terribly on vacation and for the Summit, but otherwise I've tried to behave. Kinda.
On the topic of weight-loss, it's not really the focus of this cleanse for me. While I am sure I'll lose a little weight (not eating for 10 days might do that), and I'll definitely be glad to drop some pounds, I really just want my body to take a break, and heal. It's about time.
After this I'd really like to do even more healthy eating, and even eat some meat - maybe. I am yoga-training, so I should not.
There is some logic to all of this. The first thing people say when they hear I'm doing this is, "omg you mad!". Funny. "When you end up in the hospital ..." "You know what I think about this, it's dangerous..."Yes darling :) Cute. Thank you for being concerned.
Oooh I need to go dress!
I'll update later :)

I'm cold. COLD. It's a generally overcast day, but the office seems a whole lot colder than yesterday. It's possibly a reduction in body temperature though. I want socks and maybe a warm hug/blanket/my monkey.
Well I have more juice today and feel less hungry. Wonderful. Maybe it's mind over matter. About a quart to go in my bottle, and some more at home. Trying to take all preventative measures, reading MC forums and such, to have this whole thing go uncomfortably.
So people do this thing or 30 and 40 days. Wtf? Uhm, about that... I get bored pretty quickly, so yeah - it's something I won't be doing. I think 10 days is long enough as is.
One thing though, felt realllly sleepy. Still am. Gosh. I want to go home... :( There's nothing going on at the office either! Arrr!
No great feelings of mental clarity yet. I really wonder if that will come... and I'll get more productive. Hmm. No idea. Maybe I can finish editing those 600+ pics I have awaiting me... hehehe.
Just wanna be under warm blanket snoozing.

On last glass of juice. God how boring. Tea and sleep soon. Yay! I got home this evening for a nap, but couldn't sleep. Only did a short yoga session. Just don't feel like overdoing it today.
One note though, my tongue has started to coat (it's whitey and gross), but nothing a good tongue-scrubbing doesn't fix. The forums say that you should drink water after the lemonade, to prevent that, but it hasn;t really help thus far, and I find it fills me up a lot. Not that it isn't a good thing, but I struggled through those 64 ozs today. The water elimination is great though!
I think it's bed time :) I really should stop surf-shopping. It's distracting.
