2012: What Day Are You On and How Are You Doing?

[Donno]

I am into day 4. Wow, I was totally wiped out yesterday from the worst headache, which lasted til about 3am in the morning! Thankful I was able to take it easy and sleep through most of it. When I got up this morning I had a faint headache left. After my SWF and eliminations...all better. That is amazing. I don't drink coffee BUT I did consume about 3-5 cups of Stash brand Earl Grey tea with lt. cream and agave nectar...every day before this cleanse. I didn't realize the caffeine addiction, since I only drink seltzer and water otherwise.

I'm also vegetarian but I was still into the white flour and sugar. I made it through a HUGE party where I was grilling most of the day, on day 3...all the food looked great but I really had no temptations. I just kept with my Limeade mix and I was fine. Easter Sunday with all the fixins' coming up, hits me on day 6...I'm really not worried.

I noticed my neck and chin are breaking out, which sucks, but I'm sure its toxins and that's a great thing! I did notice a red spot in the middle of my tongue which was there mildly before the cleanse...I'm keeping an eye on it to see where that goes.

Overall, nothing seems out of the ordinary. Nothing solid being eliminated, just watery but 3-4 times after my SWF. I did accidentally screw up the mix yesterday morning and used 2 TABLESPOONS of salt...ewwww, I almost threw up!

Back on track and feelin' GREAT on day 4. Good Luck to all

Intuition-
I had been toying weeks ago with cleansing but not really seriously. Then 2days before I started this cleanse I was aching so badly from tense muscles and scheduled a massag. It did help some. While on the table it came to me 'do a cleanse' so I started Monday 2 days later. Then again I was on day ten driving and it came to me again. 'you're not done' so here I am day 12. Just listening to that inner voice.
Goal is to go 14 days and see how I feel. Ideally I know we should do 10 day chunks but 20 days seemed daunting! Lol so for now 14 and we'll see

Overall feeling very clear headed.little headaches here and there but then I drink more water and do detox baths too.
Energy has been low more days than not but still doable.

On another note... Where IS everyone! I look so forward to reading all of your experiences but lately it's crickets on here!

I have had tried a few times this year and the longest I made it was to the middle of day 4. My biggest problem after trouble shooting and learning through each attempt is now down to hating the lemonade. I finally went and got fresh sugar cane juice out of desparation to see if I could stomach it since I think the problem with me is the maple sugar and tada, I like it okay. Thank God! I feel very strongly that this cleanse could be super beneficial for me and well, everyone. I have spent countless hours watching youtube diaries of master cleansers and reading blogs and forums. I am starting tomorrow. It is a little bit of a pain to get fresh sugar cane juice, but doable as I live in South Florida. I just picked up a half gallon and poured it straight into a glass mason jar and into the freezer where it will stay until I go to bed. Before bed, I'll transfer it to the fridge to thaw then make my lemon/lime ade in the morning for the day and put it in a heavy duty thermos. I can still get a fresh glass or two here in there, but this will work. When I tested it the other day with the freezing and thawing overnight, it actually never starting turning color. I also wanted to Ihave it ready for my first day before I leave the house instead of having to get dressed and drive to get it, stand there while it gets pressed, mix it with the lemon and cayenne - seems too daunting for the morning of the first day. Once I have that to start with in the morning then I can get it later in the day fresh again.

I am determined. I really believe that I am at a fork in the road and it is up to me to decide on great healthy life or sickness and sadness. I have learned a lot from my past failed attempts and think I can do this now. I will also be quitting smoking tomorrow so that I will be completely kicking off my new life.

I plan on posting and am glad to see some others cleansing right now. Let the games begin!

Oh and I usually get amnesia when I try difficult things, so I got a cute small notebook to keep with me and starting listing the reasons I want to do the cleanse and quit smoking so that when things get touchy or just down right tough, I can read through the list and/or add to it. I think this will help. Will keep you posted.

Day 2 here. Anybody out there still cleansing??

[sunnyrae]

Nearing the end of day 14. My last day and was very tempted to break but didn't.
The next few days will be challenging not to go crazy! Have a regimented eating plan I will stick to of no gluten & vegetarian. Hope this will help shed the remaining lbs!

Overall the cleanse has been easy not counting the first 3 days! If you can get through that it gets easier.. You are just doing time so might as well make the best of it! Don't give in.. You always feel worse than before you broke the cleanse.. So hang in there and post on here. It helps and people are reading.. They will help if you need it!

Good luck cleansers!

Pre-cleanse - - Starting Wednesday!!

Good morning all! I just wanted to check in and see who's around cleansing with me! I'll be starting out wednesday and I am EXCITED! We'll see if that excitement lasts through a detox day...it could happen! I'm doing this cleanse because 1) it's been a while and 2) I'm planning to go vegetarian (possibly vegan, but one step at a time) after this cleanse so that should be interesting.

I've been reading through the recent posts to get me pumped up - - Happy Cleansing Everyone!!

Currently on day 25. Didn't plan this long, but it has worked out to be. Not sure when I'll stop either. Things have been well. No issues except the first 5 days breaking the sugar and caffeine habit.

Hey, guys!

This is thatoneguyonline from YouTube. I'm baaaaack haha.
I'm starting a new cleanse tomorrow and yes I will document it on YouTube.

Just a head ups that I'll be posting here again while doing this cleanse - talk about spring cleaning!

Hey guys,

Well, the cleanse I started a week ago only lasted for three days.
I believe I kicked the energy drink / pop rut I was in as I haven't had a single sip since.

I probably will attempt a fall cleanse as I try to fast / cleanse a few times a year.
So... I'll possibly see you then

Day 1!!!

Is there anybody cleansing with me right now??? The board looks so sad and lonely...not that it will stop me from doing my daily check in. Anyway, did the SWF this morning and that was gross as usual. It actually took a surprisingly long time to have any "results". Most likely because it had to work it's way through the cheeseburger and onion rings I had for dinner last night. Yes, I will admit that before doing each and every master cleanse I eat something that is ridiculously terrible for you the night before. Probably not the best plan, but I've never had any problems.

Aside from being extremely tired I feel good so far. I have to get up at 3:30 to drink the SWF so it's out of my system by the time I get in my car to go to work at 6:30. Having a SWF emergency on a 25 minute commute would be sad to say the least I was paranoid about my alarm going off so I didn't sleep soundly. I am extremely confident that tonight will be a lot better. Day/night one is when we work out the kinks so we can hit the ground running on day 2!!

If you can't tell I love doing the master cleanse - I try to do it at least twice a year because it makes me feel great! - but I also love checking in with people on the boards. Sooooo if you're doing the master cleanse, check in!!

Well, to whoever may check the board (besides me) have a WONDERFUL day!!
