Cleanse-Eve

Alright. I've made a crazy decision. . . I'm going to do an all-body cleanse. It's called the 'Master Cleanse' or the "Lemonade Cleanse" and it's a really strict liquid diet for at least 10 days. I've done colon cleanses before - with great results, but i feel so sluggish and my skin has been so horrible and even after training for the triathlon, and still running quite a bit (ok - so i've been lazier lately. . .) i still haven't lost the weight (I know - it's not a lot - but it's enough to make me hate it!) that I gained last Easter when I became so disgustingly addicted to Mini Eggs!! And, since they've been available again, I've decided that now is the BEST time for me to do this. I've done a bunch of research, and I'm really very excited about the prospect of having this be successful!

I'm beginning to get a little nervous about this new endeavor - which is why I've decided to blog my journey. I figure that it will give me some accountability, and journaling what I am experiencing will surely be beneficial for me *somehow*!! I made a big, but healthy dinner tonight, along with a batch of sugar cookies. I think I'll eat a few tonight before I drink the first of my yogi 'Get Regular' tea, and get to bed. Tomorrow, I will likely have a hard time drinking a QUART(!!!!!!) of salt water when I wake up and then all of the (special blend of) lemonade that I'd like! I will do my best 'reporting' at least twice a day - and I'll try to include some stats as well. . .

Here's the first stats post:

Face: several zits - but I'm also doing the honey/cinnamon thing, so I won't know which is working best. HOWEVER, at this point, I don't care what clears them up, I jut pray something does!!!

Weight: 116

From what I understand, I will lose a little weight at the beginning, and that will be all water weight - put back on after the diet. But, the last few days I should be losing fat. Won't that be lovely if it could slide RIGHT off my hips??? Sounds *good* to me!

Alright. Any support will be welcome! Anyone else up to this with me????

Oh my goodness!!!!! I seriously just finished a bag of those darn mini eggs. The empty bag is still right next to me. I should do this with you. I could certainly stand to shed a few and my face is never without a spot (as Savannah likes to call them) or two or three or four or just plain all over.

Way to go. You go girl. I would love to join you but I don't think Mason would love it very much. I will join you on your next one. I could also stand to loose the baby weight and clear up my skin. love Renee
