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

[LizO'D]

LizO'D: You are starting today also. Good to have you doing it same time!

Thanks Nordic_Ellen! I hope it's going well for you. I don't know the answers to your questions, but I would say that sticking to mint tea is best as that's what the original MC has. Do you have fresh mint in your garden? That would make such delicious tea. We have yet to plant ours (new home).

Day 3, things are settling in. The weekend was mental, it felt like I was preparing food all day long - toddler's breakfast, husband's breakfast (well, it WAS Father's Day), elevenses, and so it continued throughout the day. I bit into a piece of pasta to see if it was cooked, without thinking, and was so horrified at myself for forgetting I was on the cleanse.

I'm finding Monday much easier now it's just me and my computer, so there's an argument for working mums not starting on a weekend Feeling a little light-headed (in a very good way, seems like a lot of catarrh has cleared) and lost 2 kg in forty-eight hours (nice side bonus!).

All best, Liz

Day 3. Today when I woke up I slept too much and had to rush out of the house with a gallon of water. I had a lot of things to do, and got home late. When I got home I did the salt water flush, and it didn't work. Now I am having my first class of lemonade. Other than a fierce headache, today was good day. I have been sleeping a lot since school ended this summer. Once this month I slept 93 hrs during a 120 hr period. That is in 5 days (Friday to Tuesday) I was up for 27 hrs. That is a sleep marathon!

Yes I have fresh mint in my garden. I will definitely make tea 2moro. Only thing is that I have never done it before. I only bought mint tea in bags. I assume you just boil it or simmer it right? I will experiment. Thanks for the idea!

For mint tea: Heat the pot, put in some fresh mint leaves (half dozen or so), pour in boiling water and steep for about five minutes. It's gorgeous, less bitter than the bags.

I am soooo jealous of your sleep! Have been up at night with the baby these past two nights, last night was from 3.30 to 6 am. Feeling ethereal!

I skipped the SWF because things were already busy in that department and because I had to leave the house. Hoping it'll be OK. I did the MC to the letter the past two times, but this time it just needs to get tweaked or I won't get to do it at all.

I notice that my thoughts are much clearer - I found something this morning that has been missing for three months after having an Aha! moment. First Aha! moment in a very long time.

Have a good day Nordic_Ellen. It's quiet here isn't it? I think a lot of people are on Facebook, but I don't fancy friends, family and business acquaintances hearing all about my MC on the ticker!

LizO'D: Thanks for the mint tea advice. I have to drive 150 miles tomorrow and stay in hotel and then back next day. I will take the mastercleanse on the road. Its always easier to do it from home, but I have a plan for this. And my laptop always goes with me.

Shakey: Did you come off the cleanse? How many days were you going to do? I read some of your posts and just wondering where did you go...

[LizO'D]

Day 5 done and dusted. Really feeling mental clarity coming back which is great and what I wanted to achieve with the cleanse this time round. Everything looked brighter today - edges sharper, colours brighter. Great experience when the MC moves into the spiritual leg of the tour. Puzzled at the silence on the board though compared with four years and two years ago - maybe it's the time of year, I mean who in their right mind would want to be on the MC in midsummer

Hi everyone, well I had to postpone the start of my cleanse until tomorrow! I have my basket full of lemons ready, and in 45 minutes it will be 21st June! (Im from the UK) I have no idea how long I will be on the cleanse for (more than likely a long one) as I am very overweight. Although, I wont be weighing very often, if at all during this period. I have done 3 different cleanses over the last 2 years and each time, weighing myself has " thrown " me off. I get complacent, and for some reason, when I see that I have lost weight, it just gives me a green light to just quit my cleanse! So, I will be doing this cleanse blind so to speak. Well this cleanse is well overdue! Cant wait to get started now. Looking forward to seeing how the rest of you get on too.

Hi all! This is my first MC and today is my 5th day. I had a horrible headache(like someone stabbing an ice pick in my eye socket) and sickness on the 2nd day, and on the 3rd, I felt all tired and craving. I was walking down the street like a zombie, thinking about food.. Anyways, I have a question for all of you Rockstars here. I know there's a thread for tongue coating and I've read them, but I didn't find anything like what I have so I'd like to ask people here, if this is part of the detox symptom, and if anybody else has experienced it.

I suppose my tongue is slightly more coated than usual, but what bothers me is that right side and behind the tongue, and the lower inner part of the gum is damaged by acidity and they hurt.. I remember the same symptom occurred when I went to Bali several years ago and had loads of spicy food. Does this mean I have to stop doing MC or have to keep doing it so that it will clear...

Since I went through horrible headache and sickness, I don't want to quit now. But this is making it difficult to continue drinking the lemonade. Please let me know, thanks!!

P.S. I made a mistake and posted this to a detox symptom, but seeing that the last message before me was a while ago, I reposted here so that there's more possibility of getting a reply.. Thanks!

Greetings Everyone.
Yesterday was day 10 and I'm stopping there this time since it's my first time. I'm 12lb. less and a full pant size.
I feel better, my skin is clearer and it seems that some of my little imperfections’ in my skin have gone away.
Question I have is, how long do I take the probiotics? I purchased the same one that is advertised on the site here.
I didn't find it in the book anywhere, and the message board is not assisting me either.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Day 1 nearly over, I have to say I have found it really really hard today. Nearly quit after about 3 hours, got a headache earlier but drank some lemonade and it seems to have gone. Was going to do the laxative tea twice a day instead of the SWF but I havent eliminated once today so will have to do the SWF in the morning.

Good luck on your cleanse GlamourBabeUK! If it helps, once I'm a day or two into the MC, I just think of my stomach as being 'asleep', and I don't want to wake it up by giving it food. Plus, I figure that if I don't break the fast carefully over a few days I'm going to feel really sick. I hope today went well!
