Bought all the stuff last week. My DH sees all the lemon in the fridge and says...what are you doing with all the lemons? I reply that I am making lemonade. He rolls his eyes...already he thinks I am a crazy woman so this further confirms it. I know to tell him I am going on a fast is not the thing to do at the moment...he will say its bad for me, etc.

Yesterday I ate some leftover pizza for lunch...didn't want it sitting tempting me during this time! Then for dinner had a salad with some crab mixed in and rice vinegar for a dressing, then a bowl of fruit. Then had 2 glasses of Cabernet...whaaaa I felt a pang that I was leaving all these good things behind...but hey its only for a couple of weeks right?

Last night I had a cup of smooth move tea about 1230am, I was surprised that it wasn't that bad tasting. Went to bed but kept waking up during the night, I think the fact I'd taken a laxative tea was worrying me. Then I had a dream I was making food for dh and accidentally ate some I was so relieved to wake up and find out it was a dream. Finally the tea worked about 730am not bad I thought for sure I'd be up in the night.

Then on to the salt water flush...eeeewwww I had heard so much bad stuff about this, but since this is my day off I wanted to do it. It was hard getting it down, all 32 oz...feeling a tad nausous the whole while. I had meant to get straws and forgot. I'll pick some up today along with baby wipes which everyone says are necessities. Within minutes of finishing the swf I was in the bathroom. Wow that surprised me. Then off and on for about an hour. Not bad at all. Just bright yellow liquid, which I presume is bile.

This morning my dh sees the maple syrup in the cabinet, asks what I am going to do with that (remember the lemons hehe) My reply...oh its good on pancakes and such...he says you don't have that many pancakes...looks at me again like I am a crazy person. Oh just wait till he finds out that I am on the Cleanse, can't wait to post that. I will be telling him later today

Then on to my 1st tea. Not bad tasting at all, I drank half of it before I added the cayenne, then gulped down the rest. While I love spicy foods it doesn't seem to mesh with sweetness very well. I think from now on I will do the cayenne shot then drink the lemonade afterwards. they can mix after I drink it.

Not too hungry yet, but am soooo tired and have a headache. I backed off caffeine the past week in hopes I could escape the headaches, and was down to 1/2 c of coffee but I guess it was enough to keep the caffeine monster at bay since I still have a headache. I just want to go to bed but I have way too much to get done on my only day off work.

Told dh about the fast he isn't taking it seriously of course

End of day one, not so bad after all I did all the lemonades, tons of water, the tea and swf. I don't feel any better or worse than I did earlier so thats a good thing. I will take it one day at a time but I'm shooting for a minimum of 10 days.
