DAY 21! End of the Master Cleanse
Good Morning!
Day 21. 21 days without eating a single thing...unbelievable. And it was all for health reasons, but I got lucky and lost a few inches along the way. Yeah!
I did my tea last night, woke up at about 4:30 for the usual bathroom run...the amount of stuff and the smell (yuck!) is incredible after this amount of time. You really don't have any idea how much crap you carry around until you do one of these cleanses. I'm convinced that the only way to get it all out and to go down the path of increased health, you must do one of these to create a clean slate, so to speak. I know that I haven't gotten rid of it all, but it's a start. That's why I will do a cleanse approximately every 4 months. The next one will only be 10 days, but now that I've done 21 days, 10 will be a breeze.
I came home from work last night, the house to myself and I changed into my workout clothes and dove right into my exercises. I did an hour of Callanetics and MAN am I sore today! It feels great though, to know that I did something good for my body. Then I made my last lemonade of the evening and played my video game (yes...I'm still a kid in that sense, always love a good video game!) Then I made my last lax tea and settled in for a little Harry Potter and then dozed off. I had a good rest and I feel only slightly tired, but I know that once all the salt water has passed, I'll feel energetic and ready to go out and have a fun day.
Once done with this post, I need to go and make my lemonades for the day to carry with me. I think we're going to check out a few street fairs and maybe go to the park and sit in the sun for a bit. The day is wide open.
Starting tomorrow, I get to have orange juice throughout the day, most likely alternating with the lemonade. The same goes for Monday as well. Tuesday and Wednesday will still be liquid, but I will start to incorporate other fruits, like watermelon. Thursday will be juice during the day and then I can probably give the veggie soup a go that night. It's all about seeing how my body feels with each day. Then, depending on how the veggie soup goes, I can have that each night until probably Saturday, then Sunday I will introduce "solids", like a salad, or solid apples. Then I just go slowly, day by day for a while to see how everything feels. I ordered my juicer on Thursday and they said I should get it by this coming Wednesday (because of the holiday). I can't wait to try out all these fantastic recipes for juices!
All in all, it's been an amazing journey of discovery for me. I've learned to be strong, stay motivated, and I found self-discipline that I never knew I had. I feel that if I can do this, I can pretty much do anything I put my mind to.
I will be back to let you know what's going on with me and the transition to regular foods. Oh, and I'm also going to take my measurements later today to see where the inches stand!
