Day 6
Oh no, Superbowl Sunday is this Sunday!!!

It might be from letting too much times pass between lemonades. I had a Dr.’s appointment this morning and it was about 3½ hours between my first and second glass. I think I’ll go make another one right now. I’m still experiencing hunger every now and again. I keep thinking that it’s only temporary and I’m improving my health, which is my goal. I do have a major concern though…my birthday is on Feb. 2nd and I’ll be on day 9. I’m pretty sure that my mom will want to take me out to dinner, so I might tell her that I’m not feeling well and let’s just meet as a family and lavish me with gifts :). She wouldn’t be very open to idea of intentionally going without food for 10 days, and I’m not interested in trying to convince her that this is good for me both physically and mentally. Not to mention that I wouldn’t want to tempt myself by sitting at a table full of food. Maybe she’ll just give me cash and call it a day…fat chance of that happening.
7:05 p.m. I’ve already had 7 lemonades and I’m feeling great. I just read a comment that someone left for me and it has inspired me to not only complete this cleanse, but to do so with a smile on my face. I noticed that I had the most MOVEMENT on those days that I had 8 or more lemonades. I’m going to aim for 9 again today. I mean this is why I’m here, why take a short cut and only have 6 or 7. I would be doing myself a disservice, and I’m not interested in that.
HOLY CRAP!!! Superbowl Sunday is this SUNDAY!!! Oh man, I guess I’m going to be watching the game by myself. Going to a party with chips, dip, wings, beer, whatever, all within my reach might be bad :).
10:00 p.m. Day 6 is in the history books and it was a pretty good day, considering I haven’t had anything to eat in 6 days. By the way, staying upright after drinking the SWF is the way to go. I’m really getting used to the program. Drink the SWF, stay near a toilette for the next hour and a half, then drink lemonade and water all day and try to keep your mind busy. I’m getting better at it. I think it will actually be a bit weird to get up in the morning and not drink the SWF, or feel hungry and be able to eat. Glickman does write that you can still drink the SWF to flush your system when you’ve eaten something that’s not that good for you. I’ll keep that in mind.
I was reminded today, while reading that comment, that just because the fast is over should not be a green light to pig out. I’m actually thinking a lot about fruits and veggies and they sound delicious. I’ve read about a lot of people finding that they are craving raw healthy foods more after the cleanse. For me I’ve always enjoyed fruits and vegetables, and as a matter of fact I just became a vegetarian about 3 months ago. I am finding that I’m craving the fruits and veggies but it’s more about not undoing what I’ve been working so hard for. 4 more days to go and I can break the fast, I know that if I keep my mind occupied elsewhere, day 10 will be here before I know it.
