2010: What day are you on and how are you doing?

[Tanyazl1]

Morning - Is anyone else cranky, angry, impatient and put-out with nothing good to say?
Come sit next to me...

OMG...I caught myself being just that this afternoon...I was cranky and impatient...didn't get to angry. I am definately getting hungry. Two more days to. I cannot wait til Sunday!

MC 7: evening of Day 19

Having something of a rough day - so very glad it is over.

No detox symptoms - in fact - everything cleanse speaking was great today (except a mild headache this after noon but I contribute that to junior highschool students - not cleansing).

Just feeling down/disappointed in myself. Which - 23 days into a cleanse is pretty rediculous. I've worked hard the last almost month to improve my health -

but feeling really frustrated with how hard I fell off the health bandwagon. I caught a glimpse of myself in a particularly harshly lit room with a particularly honest mirror - and wow - I haven't looked like this for at least 6 years.

Once upon a time I lost about 130 pounds (about 7 years ago) and turned into a new person. I held it off and looked amazing for years - then it started creeping so very slowly back - but steadily up. Then I found the cleanse and never had an issue with the creepers again - until this last year - where I let myself BALLOON up. (Really quickly over just the fall & early winter months - which is SO hard on your body!)

I am fixing it. I am cleansing and returning to my active raw vegan lifestyle - so I SHOULDN'T be depressed - I should be proud that I am nipping it in the bud -

but instead I am focusing on being pissed at myself for not realizing what I was doing till the damage was done.

GRUMBLE.

Hopefully it's just emotional detox and it goes away with tomorrows SWF.

Thank you for letting me vent. Not a soul in the real world I would talk about this stuff to - so this is good for me.

Night kids.

Lucky Ducky. You're doing fantastic.

My problem is my head isn't into the game today. I'm sure it's detox and I should feel much better tomorrow.

I am on day 7 am tired because i can't sleep at night since on the mc! the last 3-4 nights only about 3 hrs of sleep. I've had many up moments, especially in the beginning. I really want to droop some weight as I'm 40 lbs over and and leaving for the Big Island, Hawaii on 1/29! And can't fit into my size4-6 clothes! I've also gotten cramps in my calves a lot at night, which keeps me awake too. I've been doing power walks w/ my dog, but the last 3 days here it's been stormy and rainy. Yesterday did a Jillian Michaels dvd and felt great after. I love the quote, "You're only 1 workout away from a good mood." The swf is easy for me, but i didn't start it until about the 4th day. could that be why i'm not losing weight? And also until today, have only drank about 4 lemonade @ 10oz each. I thought I'd lose more weight (5lbs on day2, but had been sober a few days and prepared for cleanse) as I'm not drinking! Usually w/out a cleanse I drop weight fast. I love all the support I get on this website and some internet posts. Patrice

Patricepag,

You hit the nail on the head...doing the cleanse to the "T" is the only way get the results you want...w/o the SWF will not result in excelerate weight loss. Also, exercises which lead to increasing muscle mass results in weight gain since muscle is heavier than fat. In this case let your measurements be your guide or the clothes you want to get into. Weight loss varies for each individual, but I haven't heard of anyone losing more than 20 lbs on a 10 Day cleanse.

Don't forget to drink lots of water and get your rest each night. They too are instrumental in increasing weight loss. You are on the right track!

Just finished day 17. Feeling GREAT!!! This is the 4th or 5th time on MC in the last 2 years always with great results.

Day 19 and body is still detoxing even though I am really feeling good. Woke up this morning with my mouth very dry and feeling like a "sewage pit". The SWF went streight through and what a mess that came out. Then I rememberd that I used 2 senna/mint tea bags in my tea that I steeped for 15 minutes and drank before going to bed.

MC 9 Day 14

WOW, seems like time is flying by. Tomorrow I will be half way through and I feel so good. My clothes are starting to fit me like they fit in August. My one complaint today is my face is so itchy from the rash. When I workout the sweat makes it sting, I am using shea butter but anything on sweats off. Well today I am going to test out the lime idea and see if I like it. Hopefully it will be a nice change of pace.

Res and New Direction thank you for the comments. It is so good to have others who know exactly what you are going through and why you are going through it. Thank God my husband is supportive as well (even though it is not in his thoughts to do it himself). I thank everyone for their posts and their encouragement.

Well it is off to my Zumba class, body weight exercises and the sauna. Everyone have a blessed and happy lemony day. If that doesn't happen, there is ALWAYS tomorrow. xoxo

Day 24 off and rolling! It is not supposed to snow until 3 pm, so I think I'm going to have to brave driving down to Reno (hour and 45 min) to get to my meeting. I was hoping to be able to call it off. Am a little scared about the road and a little scared that I may not be completely done with my SWF before I have to leave. Too late now, it's already down the hatch. How you doing, New Direction?
My body is playing tricks with me on the scale, like yours is with the SWF - I have officially moved "past" the tic mark on the scale...by such a minute amount (1/8 of a pound, maybe?) that you need a magnifying glass to see it! I saw that this morning and just started laughing ~ because my body just has not done anything like that in about 3 years!! So it's obviously some "clinging to it" issue inside my head that's holding me back.

Actually Vegas is a very small town, does he work at the Hotel or at the restaurant? I have worked at the Hotel before and My ex fiancee used to work at the restaurant, when we were first dating.

He works at the hotel in the maintenance dept., so...back of the house. So did his dad, who just passed away right before Thanksgiving.

It is officially day number five, and I feel great, yesterday I cleaned the entire house, did a full days work, went to the gym, and then still had enough energy to go out after! I didnt't get home and back into bed until 1:30, and had to wake up @ six for my SWF. So i may pay the price today.

I absolutely abhorr the SWF, every aspect of it! I wish there was another way every morning I wake up convinced that I wont have time, or have too busy a day and shouldn't do it, but I promised myself I would do this cleanse to the T and always end up drinking it. Other than that I reallly enjoy the cleanse, I find the LA delicious and the senna tea relaxes me and puts me to sleep. I also enjoy all the time I have that I used to spend worrying about what my next meal would be.

Glad to hear that everyone is doing well today, especially you dollfacegreene, it is good to know I am on board with someone else in Las Vegas.

Hi Ho Hi Ho, its off to squeeze I go!!
