What day are you on and How are you doing: General Check in

[marligirl]

I'm now on Day #5 and still feeling good and surprisingly not having any detox symptoms . My back hurts a little and I'm sluggish in the evenings, but I can handle that!
I am not losing any weight either and have only been able to drink 6 glasses of Lemonade a day and I've been reading here that if i drink more lemonade or drink more water I will lose weight. So far, I haven't drank hardly any extra water on this cleanse because I didn't realize I needed to! I don't normally drink a lot as it is, so I will try to add more water and an extra lemonade today.
I also was wondering about the mint tea that we can occasionlly have. I bought some Lipton Green Tea that is Mint flavored with Spearmint and Peppermint, but the book doesn't mention what kind of mint tea we can have. I've been doing everything to the "T" on this so far and would hate to mess up if I drink something I'm not supposed to! If anyone knows if Green Tea is ok, please let me know!
Cooking, surprisngly, hasn't been bothering me, although last night I made the mistake of making one of my favorite dishes for the kids! It smelled SO good! I'm really wanting some food at this point, but only a few more days to go! I can do it!
This weekend is becoming a challenge w/ my husband home and tomorrow is Easter Sunday. I'm feeling a bit depressed that I can't do what we normally do on the weekends and this being a holiday weekend, it's depressing, but I'm trying to think of how much better I'll feel knowing I haven't had any chocolate bunnies!
I love this message board and it has been the support system I have needed since I am the only one I know who has done this! Thanks to all of you for your posts! It's really helpful to be able to come here and read all the questions.
Happy Easter everyone!

sorry, im sure this is answered some where else, would it be benifical to just increase the lemon juice per glass and keep it at 6? 6 keeps me pretty full..

I am halfway through day 1 and other than feeling like I want to go to the bathroom, I am doing ok. I know we are suppose to take the lax tea at night but, is there any reason not to take it during the day if you feel you need help?

I will up my maple syrup (in the lemonade) and cayenne (I already use a lot though) and plain water today and let you know how it goes! That will put me at about ... 64 ounces of lemonade and at least 40 ounces of other liquid (between tea and plain water). Oof. Glad I am sticking close to home. LOL

Thank you for your warm comments, Wildflowerdb, Peanutterb and Res.
I know it's worth to handle. Even it's really hard time for me, I believe I'll be happy after 10 days from now

I'm still feel hungry. I cannot stop my stomach makes noise 3 times a day.
So I did anything I can do to kill it! Cleaning bathroom to bedroom, take an extra hour in hot tub, take a walk neighbours early morning(it should be before anything open...we have tons of restaurant in my neighbourhood...), massarging lymph and muscle, inhale essential oils, etc.

I think inhaler works really good. It also calm down my nerve.

Today is day 20. I' offically 2/3 of the way through the cleanse. Today was a good day. I ran out of MS, so I had to go to the store. It wound up costing me about $150. LOL I stopped by bed, bath and beyond looking for a spiralizer. Walked out w/o it, but with 2 new knives and a sharpener. Drove past Border's...thought I'd check for a raw food cookbook, bought 3. Then went to Target, thinking they might have a spiralizer. Nope...but they had a NICE mandolin. Bought it. Only THEN did I go the the grocery and bought my MS...AND a morter and pestal and sprouter and cheesecloth.

Tomorrow, I GOTTA stay home.

Hi! I just signed up today, and am excited to get going...I went shopping at Trader Joes today, and was thinking of starting on Monday.

I have a ton of allergies, and am looking forward to cleansing and resetting my body - I have been feeling like a slug lately, and feel that it's due to the toxin buildup in my body.

However, after reading some of the 'suggestions for newbies', I'm kind of worried, and need your advice.

I work M-F, 8:30-5/6 pm in an office. One of the threads suggested starting Friday night w/the first two days of the cleanse being on Saturday and Sunday so one can become acclimated to it.

To be a little to blunt, am I going to have explosive diarrea at my desk? Am I not going to make it to the bathroom? Am I going to feel like a narcoleptic (seeing as how some people are sleeping 15 hours a day)??

I'd really like to do this - and have all of my items, including the book (which came yesterday), but now I'm a little scared...

Please help me. Be blunt - let me know what's really going to happen. But also be realistic - I don't want every worst case scenario...because somewhere I have to believe that real people leading real lives with real jobs can do this...

Thanks -
jessa

Oh, and a few more questions (sometimes I think that reading all of this information before hand can psyche one out...):

How bad is the SWF, really? (taste, effect, etc)

Since I'm at work for 8-10 hours a day, will making my day's allowance of tea that morning be okay? (read that the enzymes decrease in the lemons + the cayenne gets hotter; will all of the enzymes die by 5 pm?)

Thanks again for your help!!
