Day 8 But Not Really


So, the Master Cleanse hasn't gone as planned. My recommendations:

1) Really...no really...schedule out 10 days where you have absolutely no plans. You can't sit at dinner or a bar and have your lemonade drink and not scratch out your eyes.
2) Plan a good 15 minutes every morning juicing those m*ther f*cking lemons if you have to take your drink to work.
3) Figure out how to get down a liter of salted water at 6 in the morning.
4) Once you "cheat" you will not go back on the cleanse 100%. Your mind starts playing tricks on you like "I would really like to eat something now".
5) Buy your Grade B maple syrup in large quantities because no one sells in it the financial district.

hang in there, sister. S and I made the lemonade and dranking over the weekend, alas we didn't quite cut the eating part out, so we probably actually BULKED UP an extra 2000 calories or so. You're in WAY better shape that us sorry two! hah!

cutting out eating completely is harsh. gnoshing and masticating is my 'comfort' activity, so the cleanse is a form of aggrevated self-punishment, not the nourishing act of self-worship it should be.

but I'm still going to try to find a 5 day window to try it again.
someday.
you'll be the first to know!
