I have survived the chocolate chip cookie urge! I'm also no longer sick to my stomach. I drank less than 20 ounces of the lemonade today, which is far less than should be consumed. I'll work on that tomorrow.
Also, I've found a very knowledgeable support forum which is helping me a great deal! This is much easier when you have people to talk with who understand what it going on with your body. Perhaps next time I will find myself a Master Cleanse buddy.

My family is attempting to sabotage me by baking cookies and rubbing it in my face that I can't eat them. Nice.
I have a serious headache from having no caffeine today. Throbbing headache, really. I didn't even think about how caffeine withdrawal was going to affect me. I am going to cheat and have a cup of green tea just to dull the pain some. It's probably better to taper things like that off slowly anyways.
I am also having serious issues with the lemonade drink. It is making me throw up. Maybe this has something to do with my headache. Maybe I have the flu and the headache isn't a symptom of withdrawal. I will ask the people in the Master Cleanse community and see if this has occurred with anyone else. Whatever the cause, it can't be good.
I lost 3 pounds today. All water weight, I'm sure.

| First Flush |

My first salt water flush did not go quite as planned this morning. I woke up early and downed the entire liter like a pro, but after a half and hour or so, I started to get sick to my stomach. About half of the amount I drank came back up. However, whatever did stay down worked like a charm, well before the hour was up. I'm not giving up so easily. I will do the flush again tomorrow, as it is one of the most important parts of this cleanse.
I made myself a double batch of the lemonade, which is cooling in the fridge. I find that I need to use less maple syrup than is called for in the recipe. The full two tablespoons per batch is a bit much for my tastes. Perhaps this will help along the weight loss a bit.
Speaking of weight, I suppose I should throw this in here somewhere:
Starting Weight = 135

BRMC - "Promise" |
] |
Well, The Master Cleanse begins tomorrow. I've gotten all my supplies together: sea salt for morning flush, herbal laxative tea, lemons for the lemonade drink. The rest I have around the house, from a failed attempt a few months ago. I am hoping to last a full 10 days or more this time.
Tonight, I am going to attempt to eat a healthy last meal, although binging on chocolate chip cookies and junk food sounds much more appealing. I will drink the laxative tea before bedtime this evening...and then...off I go. Wish me luck.
