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

[CityGal]

Hi Lahotoni- Congratulations on getting through the cleanse and happy birthday!

It makes sense about the maple syrup..thank hyou for correcting me.
I have been sticking to 2 tbs/glass.

Today is Day 5 for me and I had a couple of small BM's this morning.. more pain than anything.. i drank the SWF but threw up probably half of it right away (first time.. i have been able to drink it the other 4 days as hard as it is).

i dont think i can drink another 32 oz of it.. so i am going to just lie down and see if it is effective (I took the tea last night).

what can i do tomorrow to make sure that doesn't happen. I didnt drink it too fast but i will say it is getting harder and harder to drink it (the taste) and harder and harder to drink that amount of water in a short time.

thanks

Today is Day 4 and I am struggling a little psychologically/emotionally. Just seemed to wake up grumpy--no not grumpy, more like down. I feel down for some reason. Can't think why. I am going to try and think positive thoughts and hope for the best.

You do anywhere between 6 and 12 glasses a day, it's up to you. If you want to lose weight the book says to do 6 or 8. I'm 5'4" 135 lbs and I only do 6 glasses a day. I use a little less maple syrup, too. It's too sweet for me at full strength.

Thanks alot for responding! 12 glasses may just be a little too much for me so, 6 or 8 is doable and I'm thinking I may stick with 6 and do 8 if I am hungry in between.

Does anyone know the anser to my other question?

If I opt to do the herbal laxtive in the morning too, do I do it before or after the SWF?

Wow, so, this is a little harder than I thought it was going to be. Always the optimist I thought this was going to be a breeze; I almost ended it all, thinking I’d do it again next week, but, I am going to stick with it. I am managing the SWF better than I thought I would. I realize that some of the Master Cleansers puke it up, so, I was hoping that I would not have the same experience and thank God, it’s great so far and it passes right through me. I drank it at 9:30 this morning and I have already had about 7 BMs. So, like I said, it run right through me. I am still seeing some solids in my stool but, for the most part, it’s all watery, I’ll see what it looks like tomorrow after the SWF. I am hungry though, or well, I’m having cravings, I think perhaps that’s the issue, so I’m fighting the urge to just stuff my face with a salad! Oh, today when I got on the scale, my weight was 109.5. Is that just water weight, or, is that actual fat? Anyhoo, we’ll see, I’m going to stick to it. I can’t honestly say that I’m not expecting huge changes in my body because I never do anything without expecting some kind of result or change, if I am cleansing and detoxing for 20 or 21 days, I better see and feel some changes afterwards . But, we’ll see.

Today is my third day. I weighed this morning. I am down 1 lb. I'm so proud of myself that I made it to day three. I have tried MC so many times, and only made it to day two.
OK, it is still the third day and the time is 5:35 P.M. I want to eat something so bad! I know it's a mental thing. I left the house and road around town. Came back home and worked out for thirty minutes, had my glass of L, but I am still so hungry. UGH, I can do this, I can do this. I feel week and it is so hot here. I'm glad I am off work this week and next week. Otherwise, I KNOW I would not be able to continue. Why is this so easy for some and hard for others?

Hello everyone!

This is my very first cleanse, my very first post, and my second day! Yesterday was bit rough... I was a bit headache-y and gross feeling... this morning I was very lethargic and groggy- but not super hungry like I thought I'd be. I did my SWF with no problems, and am now trucking along just fine. Working on my third glass of lemonade as I type this.

I feel pretty good- happy that I'm doing this and content not to worry about food. I have a slight headache between my lobes, but nothing too serious. Not cranky yet, either.

Hope everyone is doing well. Love this forum!

Hang in there everyone, the experience is worth it all

Hi. I am new at this. Will you explain why you have MC1 day 4, etc. Does that mean you have gone four days and working towards MC2 14, etc?

Day 1 for the two of us...
SWF was difficult but done! He loves the lemonade, but I think it is nasty. The maple syrup really makes it gross for me. Is it a problem if I just do the lemon and pepper in water? That's totally doable for me...

I hated maple syrup before I did the MC. It took me 3 days to get used to the taste, but by day 14 I was dripping maple syrup down the bottle just so I would have to lick it up. So, please keep trying the maple syrup, give it a chance. It will be worth it!!

Day 4 for me was the worst by far! It'll be a new day tomorrow!! Keep going!! You can do it!!
