Day 2
Today was a good day. I treated myself to a nice sauna...
Date: 6/19/2007 7:38:09 PM ( 17 y ) ... viewed 2004 times Another day of success :) Today was similar to yesterday.
I woke up and did the infamous SWF. It was alright. I like salt so it wasn't bad getting it down. The an hour later I was in the bathroom. Not a lot came back out but it was very liquid. And I know why people warn about not farting during it... It would be bad news... I had a little come out each time, but it was mostly the salt water and (I think it's called) chafe.
Then I drank some lemonade on the way to the gym. I'm adding my cayenne tincture to the cup right before I drink it. I'm using about 2 droppers (60 drops), which I think is the same as 1/4 tsp. Again, I'm not savoring the lemonade, I just try to get it down. I've gotten used to the lemonade, it's neither good nor bad to me anymore. I also added some liquid hoodia gordonii to the lemonade to help kill the hunger. I don't know if it's working much but I add it anyway.
After I walked a little bit at the gym (I just don't seem motivated to push myself at the moment) I treated myself by sitting in the sauna again. It's so nice to sit there. It's like a mini-meditation for me. Since Mak is in the kid's room, I get a minute to myself. Being in the sauna makes me think of a Native American sweat lodge where I can purify my body and spirit. It's all about the simple things...
I'm very blessed that I am a stay at home mom and can be at home with Mak (she's 2). But that is a good thing and bad thing while I'm doing this Cleanse. It's nice I don't have to be at work and think too much but it's bad because I'm at home more around food or at the store. So after the gym we went to Walmart to pick up some more lemons and some milk for daddy. I also wanted to get some pictures developed for the scrapbook that I have for Mak. I've been attempting to catch up on the scrapbook that I've neglected while I've been in college this past year. I've caught up until the end of 2006, now I'm working on this year :) I put the pics on a cd off of the computer but when I got to walmart and attempted to insert the cd into the kiosk it didn't read it. So something went wrong and the pictures weren't on the cd. Amazingly I didn't get mad or even frustrated. I just went on to get my groceries. It was no big deal. Maybe that's a good effect of the Cleanse.
I was fine at first around all the food at Walmart but after a little while it started looking good. And I didn't have any lemondade to curb my appetite. But I held strong and it was all good. Throughout the day I've had cravings for food but thankfully nothing stronger than I could handle. I haven't had many physical hunger pangs either. But like I've said before, the physical hunger is easier to deal with. I guess that shows how strong the mind is.
After we got home I decided to get out and go to the park. Mak loves the park (playground). They have swings, and a slide, and other stuff. I thought it would be nice to get out and enjoy the nature. We live in the beautiful mountains of West Virginia and I don't enjoy it enough. Unfortunately today wasn't the day to enjoy it, the weather was like 90 degrees and the bugs (mostly gnats) were just annoying. So we only stayed there for 20 min. Part of the reason i'm doing this cleanse is to be a better mom and if I can gain more energy from this Cleanse then I can do more with her. I don't want to get too mushy but she's my whole world. She's so smart and sweet and beautiful. I couldn't ask for anything more in a daughter. She is so happy and full of life. I know that being a good healthy role model for her will give her an advantage over others. It's totally cliche but she makes me want to be a better person. I guess that's the power of love, it brings out the best in you.
Anyway, I also had my wheatgrass drink today, I mixed the powder with the lemonade and it was much better than with just water. I'm drinking the wheatgrass to give me a little protein along this cleanse and was told that it's safe during the Cleanse.
And Mak took a nap today! Yay!! It was a late nap, around 3pm, which means she'll probably be up til 10, but I got to sleep too. I was tired... Maybe tomorrow the burst of energy will kick in? We'll see... I do think that the sugar in the maple syrup gives me a boost when I drink it so that's good.
And something encouraging happened to me too. My sister-in-law told me that I looked like I lost weight and that I looked good. So that was pretty good. Isn't it funny that women will recognize weight loss in someone and it takes losing like 50 pounds before a man will notice? I'm not saying guys are oblivious but....
I want to lose around 60 pounds in all. Not by this MC of course but within a year. That's why I started with the nutritionist and the gym. Then I heard about this detox again and decided that it was the perfect time for it. I had originally heard about the MC a couple of years ago on the radio with Robin Quivers. Then later I read about on curezone but thought that there was no way I would be able to do that. But after I was doing my last Hulda Clark liver/gall bladder cleanse it wasn't too difficult. Then I was listening again to Howard Stern (on Sirius) and Robin was doing some Martha's Vineyard diet but she was talking about how she had done the MC before so it made me want to do the MC. The Martha's vineyard diet sounds fine if you have the money to have someone move in with you and do everything for you (Robin paid $10,000 for 2 weeks!!) I don't have time to be juicing and getting colonics everyday. I have a high quality juicer and everything but it's a pain to have to clean it everyday. The MC is relatively cost and time effective and that fits my budget.
I guess I've written a novel here. But it really helps to journal everything and also to read other people's experiences also. It keeps me focused.
Thought of the day: God gave us a divine spark and purpose. To reach inside and shine in this world is your gift to the world. One light will reach all other lights and together will dispel the darkness. You are light. You can accomplish anything your heart desires.
