This is day one of my first MC. Shooting for at least 10 days but hopefully more...

Allright, folks this is day one on the Master Cleanse for me. I've been looking forward to this for a while now and finally it's here. A little background just to paint a picture. I'm a 5'6, 185lb., 24 year old female who comes from a large family. Not just a lot of people but a lot of over weight people. Although in their old ages, most of them have realized the error of their ways and dropped the pounds due to type II diabetes, heart conditions, etc. I would rather clean up my lifestyle now. So i had heard about the cleanse from a friend, did some research, gathered what I would need and here I am.

I have several reasons for doing this cleanse but most importantly i need to break my bad habits in regards to food. I am prone to snacking, grazing, eating out of boredom and so forth and unfortunately, my waistline has suffered. I also haven't made the right choices when i do snack a rather than pick up some vegetables and snack on those, I'll go for white bread and refined sugars. I'm hoping that after the cleanse, my body will be more apt to want healthy fruits and veggies.

Another reason and this one is a biggie....I'm probably going to have to get myself in a white dress soon. Oh, and not just any white dress....THE white dress. Although he hasn't officially asked, i have no ring, there was no one kneed proposal, we do talk about it all the time and I'm sure it's coming sometime soon. So rather than worry about planning a wedding and getting into a healthy eating pattern, i figured i'd take care of jumping this hurdle first.

He knows what I'm doing although he doesn't really understand why and thinks that not eating for this long is kinda scary. He's being suprisingly supportive. After one fight type thing, he's being my silent back bone i guess. I want to be healthy for him, for us and for the kids we'll have someday. And the MC has lead me to further research about how and what to feed my children someday.

So anyway, here's the nitty gritty. I had my final supper last night...a half of a cuban sandwich and a couple fries. I know, not the healthiest choice but it was my last so i figured i'd enjoy myself. At about midnight last night, I had my smooth move tea. For some reason my dog was drooling over it. First he got right up in my face to sniff my breath and then i let him sniff the cup and he started licking his lips like it was a t bone. At least somebody likes it! I added a quarter teaspoon of the syrup to it so it wasn't so bitter. I hope that't okay.

Today's saturday so i slept in a bit. I woke up at about 9:40 and drank my SWF about ten minutes after that. It's 10:25 now and something is definitely going on in there but I haven't had a BM yet. I'm sure only time will tell. One of the girls from work is doing this with me and she just called and said she hasn't got off the toilet yet! Oh Lord!

Well, guys wish me luck and I'd love to hear from any more first timers or anyone else starting today. I'd love to track someone elses progress as well as mine. I'm shooting for the ten day cleanse but will go longer if my body says it's okay. I have to be able to eat solid food again by the 16th so if i can go right up until then, i will! Thanks for reading and any input is much appreciated!
