DAY 7
I was VERY crave-y on day 7, must say. But I wasn't tempted to cheat...a big difference! I was a bit sleepy and loopy and am in the groove. Not too much going on in the bm area, and my breakouts are gone. I DO feel muscle spasms and getting mild muscle cramps, which I never get. SO happy I read allllll about the detox stages and signs so as soon as anything happens, I don't worry and know I'm sailing along on schedule.
DAY 8
YAY! Day 8. So far, so good. I will admit that I spent a good two hours on thepioneerwoman.com looking at her recipes...but that's as far as it goes! I didn't even THINK of actually eating. Food porn. But I stopped myself after a while. Can't be good to look at that. Especially with 52 days left to go! Geesh. Just found out my Dad is coming to visit right after my cleanse is over...I will take every ounce of incentive I can get. Still very grateful that I have my little routine before bed where I make my tea and make my potion for the next day. I don't know why it helps so much, but it sort of puts me in the "well, I have the stuff made for today so I am obviously doing this again today."
I also can't say ENOUGH how much it has helped me to only have to make it until 7pm before it is officially another cleanse day...for example..today is day 8, but an hour or so ago it became day 9. And when I wake up, I think "not too far now and I'm on day 10!!!". Make sense? It's just pushing me right along.
As I said, I don't weigh myself...ever...but my clothes are falling off of me, and I still have 8 weeks left! I remember from my previous long term cleanses that the weightloss levels off around 118lbs for me, so that is where my body feels good. I stayed at that weight for three weeks the last time. See? Stanley is right...your body really DOES balance itself on this cleanse.
Oh, and for those that like bm talk, I had a fairly large solid bm today! Very dark. Just when you think not much is happening...I have to remember that my cells are doing their thing.
Still haven't been exercising much, but I am doing my Abraham-Hicks meditation every morning, first thing. If I make it through this cleanse, it will be thanks to that little 15 minute meditation, I tell you!
DAY 9, BABY!!!

You are doing great, Joyousgirl! Keep it up. You are doing rally well for Day 8. I have never done a Master cleanse. I have water fasted several times, as I am doing right now. Is it much different? Will you have detox symptoms, like people do when they water fast. I looks that I will have to read about Master Cleanse to find out.
Also thank you for mentioning "thepioneerwoman.com", as I check it out, and it is a lovely website.

Hi Sacristia,
Thanks so much!! YES - definitely getting the detox symptoms - all of them, I believe. :)
I've never done a water fast, but I believe the Master Cleanse is a gentler version - you have quite a bit of energy on it and I hear that is not the case with a water fast.
SO happy you like thepioneerwoman.com! I just adore that site! I just found it a month ago and thought I found a cute little unknown blog site...little did I know she has been on TV, has books out and has thousands and thousands of visitors every day!
Read her "Black Heels To Tractor Wheels" blog story on her site...very fun!
Thanks again for the support!
xx J.
