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

[Taut]

Day 9, I'm feeling absolutely wonderful! even though I didn't think I was ready to start early this time it worked out for the best. I go back to work tomorrow and it will be DAY 10 and I can't believe it I will succeed.
Okay the craziest dream I had last night: I was in a store that had all the old school candies, I saw the Zero candy bar and decided to eat it. As I was chewing it and maybe swallowed a some I freaked out, started screaming to the folks I was with asking them to look in mouth to see if they see it in there lol! I was so devastated that I messed up on Day 9 that all I could do is cry. Well, next thing I know I woke up out of that NIGHTMARE to realize my mouth was clean well no chocolate candy bar in there

Congratulations Day 10ers and I will check in later on today. I must drink up now

Been there and done that in my dreams too! I have had a dream just about every time I am on the cleanse where I am somewhere out with food and I start to eat and then realize I am on the cleanse and should not be and I FREAK out! It is the worst to realize you messed it up by eating. Thank god it's just a dream but it feels SO real. So you did not mess up AND you got to eat the zero candy bar without the extra calories! Is that the best?

To Otis/Lynda, Cathy59, and FaithD:

Thanks so much for your reply.

Interestingly, my co-worker is 10 years younger than I am, and she takes all kinds of prescription meds. I only take vitamins. She's fairly rigid in many areas, and normally I would shrug it off, but I have a lot of respect for Dr. Oz.

I sucked it up, and went and bought 4 more days worth of lemons.

You guys rock

PS - Sorry I don't know how to make my posts more appealing. C

Hi I am on the end of Day 4 and I weighed in the morning and I am 15lbs down ...am loosing weight quickly...i am happy with the weight loss but would like to see if it continues through out my cleanse...am doing exactly recommended ...there are no major detox symtomps but the substance I eliminate is unbelivable....I am not eating anything for past 4 days and still I am eliminating stored waste/mucus.......Rapid Weight loss might be because I am seriously obese .......well If the weight loss continues like this than for me "cleansing" would be a side effect and the weight loss the primary objective of this miraculous diet....I dont know how long would I last but loosing weight is a big motivation ......Good Luck all of you guys ....

Okay, well I'm closing out day 3. I'm doing well. DH had a wonderful-smelling pasta arabiata tonight. I just grabbed a glass and made my lemonade. Hunger left immediately.
One thing I've noticed.........maybe because I eat a vegan diet..........is that when I drink my Get Regular tea around 9pm, my body is waking me up at 2am with uncomfortable contractions and the need to "go". This has now happened all 3 nights so far, so tonight I'm going to go half-strength with the tea. This is the first time this has happened as, since I use to eat meat, it would generally take from 9pm to about 9am for the first urges.
A few crazy dreams, but I have those when I'm not cleansing.
I look like an eskimo walking around the house. I'm bringing back the "layered look" all by myself.

Ending day 4 have a canker sore on my tounge. Anyone know any thing good for it or just let it go.

I broke down and ordered a Vita-mix today inpreperation for after the cleanse I am going to try and go raw as much as I can.

[mtmouse]

I don't think you'll be sorry! I love my VM more than anything. Even though I'm no longer 100% raw, I use it maybe 10-20 times a week. Go for it!

Hi Fellow Lemonheads!!!

This has been a busy day for me and I haven't had a chance to post before now. This is that magical day #10 for me, but I am going 4 more days. When I weighed myself this morning I had lost 3 more pounds for a total of 10 pounds to date. I have learned from previous cleanses that my weight loss is different every time; for example over the last 4 days it went like this for the first 2 days my weight stayed constant, on day 3 I gained a pound and day 4, today, I'm down 3.

I hope everyone reaches their goal, it is worth it!!

It's the end of day 10 for me.

I'm wondering if we are going to hear back from Audrey with any final thoughts and what happened to Goondu? Today was her day 10, too. I've noticed that some people have dropped off without saying goodbye.

I am feeling really fatigued. I am just sleepy, sleepy, sleepy but it's sort of a contented sleepiness. Like... I could get up and do something productive but I'd rather stay snuggled in my bed where it's warm. I had a dvd program I needed to watch and I put it on the laptop computer so I could stay in bed rather than sit on the couch. Is anyone else experiencing anything like that? My energy is low but it's also on a very even keel. I've been on hold with the phone company for 29 minutes because it appears my email isn't working right. Normally, I'd be POed about being on hold this long but my attitude is like - oh well, I'll just listen to the music while I write my post. What is that?

It's really nice reading everyone's posts. I am going to take the rest of this cleanse one day at a time.
