Blog: Miss W Explains It All to You!!!!
I didn't drink the tea last night. I just wanted to sleep through the night and not wake up cramped. Woke up very early this morning (for me 6:30 AM is early) and felt like I actually had to use the bathroom. Nope. Ah well. I swallowed my SWF about 10 minutes ago and am waiting for it to do its thing.
Tongue is PINK, pink, pink. The whole thing is pink. I looked in the mirror when I first woke, and sure enough. I can't believe this and keep checking with a hand mirror because I want to be sure. Ha. I am tired this morning and would like to go back to bed, but since I drank that SWF, going back to bed may not be the wisest decision. No aches today, but jeez, I am as cold as could be. My next cleanse (which will start on the Summer Solstice) will be warmer because by then it will be hot in this town. Least I hope so. How do people do a Master Cleanse who live in cold climates like the east coast?
It feels as though I've lost more weight. But, it's ok. Am sitting here with no little pooch on my belly (flat as a board, even sitting as opposed to standing), my derriere is much smaller and even though at first I wasn't wild about the weight loss, it has grown on me and I actually like the sleeker me. My cheekbones came back! Not to mention (aside from the moment) my energy levels.
The only negative to report is that I am spaced out and am missing details I normally notice. The spaciness also makes it hard for me to articulate in social and work settings. So, I am quiet a lot of the time (how unlike me) and associates, friends and loved ones are asking me if anything is wrong. Usually I am rather articulate, a social person who likes puns and double entendres, but for the past two days, I've been lucky to string a proper sentence together. Soon enough, I'll be my usual self in that regard.
If Whole Foods Market is open in a few hours, I am going to go buy some veggies and veg broth goodies so I can make soup Tuesday night (won't have time tomorrow or Tuesday due to work commitments, appointments and an interview). I may still extend the cleanse (or may not). It will be a decision made on Tuesday night and will depend on how I feel at the time. If I do extend, it will be on a day to day basis. I don't want to set false goals and feel that listening to my body will be the best way.
Ha, still can't believe my tongue is pink!

- questions about fasting

Hello Miss W, I was wondering if I could ask you a couple questions about the Master cleanse. I am starting it tomorrow for the first time. I have been researching fasting for the last two weks preparing and I am highly motivated but I just wanted to ask you a few questions if you dont mind. First do you feel a marked difference in the following months? I heard that extreme breakouts occur and did that happen to you. And did you feel you were losing to much weight in 10 days
Any insight on my questions would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Amy

Hi Amy,
I had some breakouts during my first cleanse. They may or may not have been because of my cycle which I had mid-cleanse. I do feel my blemishes were a little worse than usual, but nothing bad! Certainly nothing extreme. Of course, it all depends on your current diet, etc. I was already eating pretty cleanly (no white bread, no white flour, no sugar, no dairy, no red meat).
I did feel the benefits for a long time after I cleansed. BUT!!! I had quit eating wheat bread/wheat flour/wheat pasta during that cleanse and slowly slid back into eating it. I not only felt kinda crappy, but my undereye circles were miserable. I am hoping to finally put wheat behind me. You'll notice things like that during the cleanse. And if you change your eating habits, the benefits will last so much longer.
I actually did start losing too much weight for me. I don't use a scale, but my pants-ometer said I had lost a TON. I was a size 6 before the cleanse and a size 4 was loose on me by the end of it. I would have gone on longer had I not started losing so much weight. But, part of my weight loss was due to me cutting down on the maple syrup (I am going to stay on top of that this cleanse!).
I am sure you'll do fine. Just do things by the book. And if you are a coffee drinker, either quit before the cleanse or be ready for some amazingly killer headaches. If you have any other questions, just ask!
HAPPY CLEANSING!!!! :)
Wendy
