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

[little piper]

Hello all. Wow, it certainly sounds like everyone is doing well. Thats great!

Well, its day 10 for me and I've decided to keep going. I will take 1 day at a time as I'm just not ready to make that hard commitment at this time.

Yesterday afternoon I had dull headache and woke up this morning with one. After my swf I laid down and fell back asleep and slept till 1:00pm. I couldn't believe the time when I woke up. I never nap. Headach is gone and I fill fair. This tells me, I need some more detoxing.

Have a good day all

Surely the sun will shine tommorrow as it is partly cloudy at my house today. Hope its bright at your house.

Hello MC'ers!
Day 3 here... down 8 lbs this morning. Still feeling really good Although, I suspect that after I start getting some LA's in me... I will start to feel the icky detox stomach ache... we shall see how the day goes.

Colibri - I was going to mention this a couple of days ago when I started... but I would definitely order some Celtic Sea Salt from the store on this website to be prepared next time if you can't find any down there. The little things in life that are important...

Welcome Baddison There are quite a few of us who started on May 1st together! I too LOVE cheese... my biggest down fall.

Have a great day everyone!!

I'm right with you, purangl07 and Baddison - cheese is by far my biggest downfall. I actually gave it up for Lent and was really surprised that I didn't really miss it. But of course, soon after that I was back into big cheese doses!

Thanks for the suggestion to get the Celtic Sea Salt. I have used that on previous cleanses. I will be in the U.S. later this month and will pick up a supply for my next few cleanses! The sea salt I'm using here has been very effective for the SWF and hasn't made me feel poorly since Day 1 - so I'm glad for that.

A dear dear friend of the family passed away this morning in Denver. I think my mellow feeling is mostly due to that. Sigh. When I think about people going through an illness and/or pain, it makes this cleanse less difficult and more purposeful for me.

purangl07 8 pounds in 3 days is amazing! I think I'll drink that quart of water on my desk right now!

This is great that so many of us started on the same day.

little piper BIG CONGRATS on reaching Day 10 - woo hoo! One day at a time now :-)

Sunny and hot here - think I'll go sit in the sun and soak up some vitamin D for a few minutes

Hi MC's how is everyone feeling this morning? I am now on day 9 woo hoo never thought I could go this far.
I think I was missing a day in my past post. Anyway tomorrow is my last day and I am ready for it, I woke
up this morning really wanting to eat something, well just the chewing part of it really but I can't say that
I don't want some food, not sure what but I am looking forward to it. I don't mind the LA's but the SWF is
something I can do without.

Colebrimhs: sorry to hear about your loss.

little pipper: congrats on doing the 10 day and good luck on your other days to come.

To everyone else good job and good luck on your days to come.

Day 4 here... 10 lbs gone! Feeling pretty good on this cleanse. Only slight detox belly ache and a little flemmy today, kinda weird for day 4. But I'm really happy that it's been going really well. I hope that everyone is having a great Friday...

A friend of mine invited me out for drinks for Cinco de Mayo tomorrow night... good thing I already have plans and can't go. I will have that drink after losing more weight!!

[little piper]

Hello, hello, hello. Yep, the sun is shinning again and I feel great. Day 11 and I'm making a committent right now to go for atleast 4 more days.. The reason for this decision is because my husband brought home a sack full of lemons last night and I can't let them go to waste..

Colebrimhs: You were right, my weight stalled a few days but now it has started back. I dropped 2 more lbs giving me a total of 12 lbs so far. Now that motivates me.
I'm very sorry that you are suffering a loss right now. True friends can not be replaced, but the memories can last forever..God bless you and your friends family.

Redrose, I know you must be feeling pretty proud right about now. I know I was on day 9. Be sure and let us know what your 1st meal is and how it taste. What kind of diet are you planning after you finish you mc? Let me know what your 1st real meal is so I can think about mine....Proud of ya, you did good!!!!

Purangle07....10lbs in 4 days, wow that is incredible. I know you are loving it! Glad you're feeling so well also.

OK everybody, I hope everyone has big, fun plans for the weekend.. Hoping the sun will shin for ya...talk to ya soon

Hey All!

So great to see everyone's notes!

I had a hard time sleeping last night ... my throat was really sore and I was having hot flashes - or at least felt really hot. I was wondering if it was detox or catching my husband's cold. Today I feel mostly better, so who knows? All these cleanses and I've never really had major detox symptoms - who knows?

Day 5. Feeling pretty good. About 6 pounds down, constantly answering people's skeptical questions about the MC. Another party tonight - I'll just sip my LA and mingle without eating the goodies going around. I'm getting pretty good at parties. I used to avoid them, now I just enjoy seeing friends, etc. I mean really - 14 days (well 16 with the ease-out) isn't that long in the grand scheme of things .... and soon enough I'll be able to eat yummy foods and have wine and margaritas again!

megandoesthemc: Welcome and I hope your 30-day cleanse is fantastic! Can't wait to hear how things go.

All - thanks for your kind words about the loss of a dear friend. I appreciate it!

little piper - great that your hubby bought you lemons! perfect reason to know the number of days you will continue. Glad the sun is shining there again!

That reminds me. All of my cleanses have been with limes - there are no lemons to be found where I live. OH, I take that back - once I found them in the nearby city and used them, but that store has not had them since. I have no idea what the differences might be with respect to this cleanse. Hopefully limes are just as effective.

Well, back to Saturday work and chores.

Enjoy, all! it's all SO worth it!

Hi again to everyone.. today is day 10 for me and I am so looking forward to start
with the OJ tomorrow. I found the ominivore vegetarian soup that Burrough's
recommends for breakind the fast after the 1 1/2 of OJ, lookinf forward to getting
to chew some solid food.
Good luck to all the once that are starting.

Colibrimhs.... I am happy to know that you can take being around all that good
mexican food and not give in, don't know if I can do it. My hubby cooks really
good mexican food but he don't know how to make your avocado and mango
salsa... i really want your recipe.

Little Piper.... i am so pround of you and your willpower to continue on your MC, more
power to you and congrats on not letting those yummy lemons go to waste.

Hi everyone!
Day 9 here. My weight has stalled some - I'll see how I feel tomorrow. I may go for a few more days. No headaches or stomach aches. This cleanse has been the easiest to date. Lots of energy, sleeping good - just wish we had all the sunshine you all are describing

So glad to hear your weightless "stall" picked up little piper. Look at you go, extending your MC, good for you!

Sorry for your loss Colibri. Hope you were able to buy some Celtic Sea Salt. It's the only salt I can use for the SWF without gagging!

Wow, Purang107 - you are amazing, 10lbs. in 3 days, congratulations!

Red Rose - great job finishing your MC. Today I'm planning on going a few more days, we'll see how I feel tomorrow morning on Day 10.

Welcome megandoesthemc - I hope your 30 day cleanse goes well! And baddison - I looove Almond Milk. Been allergic to cow's milk all my life. I don't eat a lot of cheese, but I'm lucky that when I do, I really enjoy goat cheese - one of the few who does I guess.

Happy Lemonade everyone!
