congratulations! you're on the road to an amazing experience....i'm starting my 7th day and last nite was rough, i felt like calling it quits and hitting the bottle. of orange juice, that is...but now i'm renewed! it's true what "they" say...any feelings or hardships you have are gone with the next days eliminations. great job on dedicating yourself to health and happiness! when i go to work i prepare the water + maple syrup in my separate water bottles, then bring lemons or limes and cayenne to make it fresh at work. works well, and being in the food industry you'll surely have a nice big fridge to chill your goodies in :) best wishes on today...take one day at a time.

I am so sorry that you have a headache, Jordy.

Last night I went to bed after having to take a migraine med and I don't like having to sleep on ice all night. Actually, as I now recall I did not take the med until extremely early this morning. Was up every hour last night and JUST A RAG this morning. Bad health problems (call 1-800-menopause!)?

May I suggest (and don't everyone pile up on me, OK?)....but this morning to AVOID MORE PAIN than I was already in....I did have 1/2 a cup of coffee. First of all, I wasn't SURE that today was going to be my start date. Then, once I was committed to trying the SWF, it was a go. I did it, I liked the feeling the SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) gave me (HATE THE ACTUAL DRINK)....but it was OK. No headache.

So..........oh.........and I also didn't drink but 16 oz of SW.

THEN....just now about ten minutes ago, I did the other 16 oz. So see? Sometimes ya dive in, sometimes ya slip in, sometimes it is just the big toe. I DO TEND TO BE A PURIST in most of all this stuff but hey....I am also a "Reformed Perfectionist" and would rather make it to Day 2 and 3 and so on than to not do it at all because I "wasn't doing it RIGHT". Don't beat yourself up. You can do this. You're doing great. ;O)

I went through that headache yesterday. It was so intense that it messed my whole day up. Basically, your not alone. Today is much, much better. Good Luck! Happy Cleansing...
