Hi everyone. I have tried to start an Master-Cleanse a few times lately and something always comes up. This time I decided not to post until I made it through the first day. I started Friday night, but will count Saturday as Day 1. I was working that day, so I took my 1/2 gallon of lemonade with me, and cayenne in capsules.

By the afternoon I had a MAJOR migraine. This has not happened to me on the Master-Cleanse before; not sure if it's related or coincidence. I was too nauseous to even drink water, so I just went home and went to bed. No tea, no nothin'. I only had 4 lemonades that first day, but was not hungry.

The second day (yesterday) I woke up with a slight headache. I started with some tea, and then had 4 more lemonades. Still not myself, with a slightly queasy stomach.

This morning I woke up with no headache (but my neck's a little stiff from all the time I've spent in bed.) I just had my tea and made my lemonade for the day. Hopefully I get my six drinks in today. Looking back, I think the migraine made it easier to stay on the MC. Now that I've made it to Day 3, I'll definitely make it all the way. I am shooting for 12 days, then 2 days of Master-Cleanse and apple juice in prep for my liver flush. I hope to get my junk food cravings out of my system again (it usually takes 2 weeks), and would like to lose 15 pounds on this MC (average for me.)

So far I've lost some weight but not as much as I usually do by this point. Probably because my body is dealing with other issues first. But I'm just happy to be back among the MC crowd!
