Day 3 - First attempt at a SWF a disaster

There's a big difference between 2 tsp and 2 T of salt in a quart of water.

I was up several times in the early morning due to the lax tea so I wasn't real alert when I dragged into the kitchen to make my first SWF. I wasn’t dreading it because I'm a saltaholoic and figured 2 tsps of salt in that much water couldn't be all that bed. I think I was on automatic pilot and because I was so used to using a T measure for the lemon juice and syrup I dumped 2 TABLESPOONS of salt into my quart of water. Amazingly, I got half of it down, cursing Stanley Burroughs all the way, before I suddenly realized what I had done. I had even read a post a few days before from someone else who had done the same thing! I was extremely uncomfortable for an hour or so but managed to pass most of it (SO that's what butt pee is!). You can bet I'll never make that mistake again. I think I'll start making them mixture the night before. My husband, who has been supportive but definitely doesn't understand why I'm doing this, suggested that I quit and start again and gradually work myself up to ten days. I assured him that I would stop if I felt my body telling me to but that I wanted to try to get to ten days. I have felt so much better today than yesterday. When I do start dragging, I just drink another lemonade and start feeling better. Gotta love that maple syrup!
