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

[Rocempire]

Day 7 of a 49 day fast. This is my 6th fast since 2008. My very first fast was going to be for only 10 days and I felt so good after 10 days I was able to go 42 days. I may try for 56 days, would like to hear from anyone that has gone over 49 days. Good luck to all !!

Day 3 of the MC and I just noticed my Organic Smooth Move has Senna in it. Is that ok? I want to follow the recipe and instructions exactly! Please let me know if I have to go out this evening to get a box without Senna.

SENNA is the ingredient that does all of the good work, the rest of the stuff in SM is to make it taste nicer...good luck

Depends why you are doing the MC...usually the longer ones are for health reasons? All the best for your success

End of Day 37.

I had to rush out this morning and didn't get any lemonade until about 3pm. I was actually fine at work, but a little hungry and tired when I got home.


As someone who has done (and is doing) 40 days, this is a good idea. I always start with 10 days for my goal because 40 is way too scary to think of doing when you are on Day 1 or 2. I always fail if I start out thinking I'm going to do 40 days from Day 1. You can't do 40 (or 14) unless you do 10 first. There are tons of YouTubes of people doing "Day 1 of 40" and most of them don't even get past the first day.

So I encourage everyone to aim for 10 and then increase your goal every 5-10 days. It works! And if I get to my goal and I'm feeling really eager to get back to normal eating and having lots of cravings, it means I have to keep going.

How are you progressing? I am giving drinks and nibbles to visitors tonight so will hang on tightly to my Lime MC drink and talk their ears off.......grins!

Day 9 of my fourth cleanse. Had the usual horrible first two days (I think it's my caffeine withdrawals that make those first two so bad). It's been going smoothly since. I'm starting to hit that point where the mental clarity and alertness start kicking into high gear. Energy level is rising, but still getting the morning chills until I get moving for the day. I'm going for 17-20 days this time.

Best wishes for happy and rewarding cleansing to all. Cheers!

I am planning my third attempt on March 30, 2012. I learn something each time, so it's all good. Anybody else starting at the end of the month?

Happy Cleansing!

Ashley

Thank you so much Christene for answering my question. It's day 4 for me...so far so good. Thanks for the support!

Day 39. I think tomorrow will be my last day. I am just bored of not eating solids at this point.

I just had my second last SWF. I still hate it and it never gets better.

I don't think Smooth Move is available where I am so I use regular senna tea. I don't see how that stuff that makes it "chocolate flavoured" or whatever can be good for your MC.

I don't see how that stuff that makes it "chocolate flavoured" or whatever can be good for your MC.

I'm pretty sure in one of the books, not sure if it was Peter's or Tom's, they said not to use the chocolate one for that exact reason...it's not conducive to the MC.
