I'm really starting to breath better and my head is really feeling lighter and less clogged. I used my neti pot last night and this morning and noticed a big difference over how it felt last time I used it just the day before. My tongue also looks better but still not truly pink. I woke up early because the tea was knocking pretty loudly at 3:55am but went back to bed for over an hour after answering that call. I didn't drink my saltwater until close to 6:30, have had a few glasses of water and am going to make my first lemonade when I finish this post. I feel good, just a bit tired from waking up so early.
dollfacegreene, I'm sorry you had a rough morning with the saltwater but really glad to hear things all worked out and you moved on to have a good day. Epsom salt baths are the best! You are so funny about your husband! Does he at least brush and rinse after a meal so as not to put stress on you by smelling like such a tasty meal?
Bubbles_erin, welcome to the party! Wow, 25 days on your first clenase? I'm impressed. Do you know how long you will do this cleanse? Maybe you forgot how rough the first couple days can be since you had a lot more days of cleansing that were after that. ? Then again, maybe this one really is more difficult if you've fallen into some bad eating habits since then. Hang in there and stay with us! You already know it will get better and be so worth it.
fit4teen, everything you describe makes me think you are dehydrated. Even though you are drinking lemonades and water, maybe you need an additional few glasses of water each day. It's amazing how much water we need while we are cleansing. How many glasses/oz are you drinking (not including lemonades, tea, and saltwater of course)?
As far as being tired, for me it's from waking up too early due to the tea and/or having to pee. I have tried steeping it less but that doesn't change things for me. I just do my best to deal with it.
katlady, it's a double edged sword sometimes to have the enhanced sense of smell from cleansing! Maybe someday your husband will cleanse with you but at least you are doing something wonderful for yourself. My mother didn't do a cleanse until after my last one so you just never know.
cuckoo, wow, you are in the home stretch. Have you figured out what veggies you are going to get for your soup?
I think I mentioned yesterday that I already stopped in my neighborhood organic store to discuss veggies for the end of my cleanse. I just wanted to know what would be available and see what they could get in for me with the advanced notice since it's just a tiny boutique grocery. I am pretty sure I'm just going to go with 10 days too.
Ooops, I lied... changed my mind. I'm drinking lemonade now since it's taking me forever to finish this post. hahaha I couldn't wait until I was done and got up to make some in the middle of it. I wish I could go back to bed, I'm so tired. I fall apart when I don't get enough sleep, it's a lifelong sensitive issue for me physically.
Re: 2010: What day are you on and how are you doing?
Noooooo....if he wasn't so supportive it just might be.
He always has a guilty look on his face before he eats, sweet guy. Anywho, I just wanted to say I love this board and the people who are here with me sharing our joys and our pains. I hope you don't mind if I steal a little extra strength from each of you to keep from biting my husband's lip if he smells like chicken. TO US!!!!!!
