One more day down. Still keeping 30 days as my goal. Not very hungry today. And not craving cheese! Still wanting food, but it was easier to fix the family dinner. I did forget to bring my cayenne capsules with me this morning, so I missed 3. I made up one of them. I guess it's OK to take extra?
Not much of a cleansing reaction today. Feeling much better! I still feel bloated, even without psyllium. I think its time for a home colema (5 gallon). I'll try it tomorrow after I pickup my 40#'s of organic lemons. They've finally arrived.
I dropped a few more pounds. Weighed in this morning at 223.5 from 235, so 11.5 so far. I hope it keeps dropping at this rate for a while longer. I want to be under 220 by the end of the month. Next goal is to be at 210-215 by end of Day 30.
I have been asked about my "strange" purchases at the local grocery store... They're used to me buying carrots/kale/cucumber for my juice fasts; but now I've confused them. I'm surprised at how many people have heard about the Master Cleanse/Lemonade Diet!
I was VERY grumpy today. Snapped at hubby and kids, so I locked myself away from them to keep their/my sanity. I also took a walk today. Almost a mile. Normally I have a hard time making down the driveway and back (1000' each way at about 10% grade...) My knees were a little sore, but my back held up fine! I think I'm gonna be able to stay off my prescription pain/anti-imflammatory/muscle relaxer meds! YEAH!!! I know it's gonna take more than 30 days to "clean house", so I'm planning another Master-Cleanse for February. The whole month. Then I'll be done in time for my anniversary in March.
My sister had to stop her Master-Cleanse on Day 1. She passed out at work (hospital) and her boss (Dr.) said her bloodsugar was too low. She was on the blackstrap molasses due to bloodsugar irregularities. She wants to try a juice fast with me, but she's really scared to try the Master-Cleanse again. Hopefully she can get her system regulated enough that she'll be able to do it next time.
I am thrilled with the support here, and thank all of you for reading/posting.

This is a reply to # 528,389Hi Rhonda,
It's Georgio. So happy you are almost on day 7. Good for you!!! You are an inspiration for when I go on the Master-Cleanse again in a couple of weeks.
I too had minimal hunger pangs. Please make sure you put enough syrup in your tea to make sure you do not get the pangs. Keep up the walks down the drive.
Take care,
Georgio

This is a reply to # 528,389Hi Rhonda! Congrats on your great progress this far! I bet that walk felt great. I did some weight work this morning for the first time on my fast. I cut it by 50% just to be safe. I am still doing 4 drinks and I dont want to ruin muscle. I will probably increase to 6 drinks soon but I am doing so well without those extra 2 that I hate to rock the boat.
So you are already planning another fast in February - you go girl! Awesome. Hey, are we going to gain some of this weight back..I mean once we start eating solid foods again? I was planning to go back to 1200 calories a day to continue my journey to lose 100 pounds and I hate the thought of gaining any...but maybe it won't be much. Joanne...if you can read this...have you had any trouble keeping your 25 pounds off?
Seen any sassy little creatures yet? The psyllium is for a parasite cleanse right? I hope I can maintain some nutrional integrity during the holidays. That's where I blew it 2 years ago and began to gain back the 70 of the 100 pounds I had lost. AGH. And...the week i come off the MC...i will be heading to Florida to spend Thanksgiving with family. How will I survive!??! LOL
Stay strong and congrats!
Lynne

Hi Lynne! The walk was great. Didn't have time today, but will try again tomorrow.
The psyllium is for the colon cleanse. I'm not using enough to be very effective, but I guess some is better than none. I am taking Paragone for the parasite cleanse, and no, I have not seen a thing. I guess that's good? I even put an old garage sale colander in the toilet so I wouldn't miss anything...
We will gain back some of the weight. Right now we have NO food in our digestive tract. I expect to gain 2-3 pounds back once I start eating, because I'll have a few meals in there at a time. But that's all I'll allow myself. I think in the past I've said to myself, "its just a few pounds, you're still doing well." I give myself permission to regain. Now I've decided that if I hit the 5 pounds point, I'll immediately go on a juice fast or MC. I WILL NOT GIVE MYSELF PERMISSION TO REGAIN MORE THAN 5 POUNDS.
I was reading the archived forum #6, and there was someone who went over 40 days! Very interesting reading, but I'm not going to go past 30...
I have my DR appt tomorrow. This is the one where he decides if I continue on state disability or return to work. I can't wait to see his face when he sees I've lost so much weight. I told him I'd lose 30 pounds by the end of October, and I'm almost there. I know he thought I'd not even get close!
Well, gotta get dinner started for my family. Have a great evening! Keep up the good work. We're gonna make it!
Rhonda
I am fortunate in that I don't have to deal with holiday food. But I am facing a return to work, where food is out on desks and tables at the end of each row! That will be hard. Again, I'm just telling myself I cannot have even 1. For me, its hard to stop once I start. SO I'M NOT GOING TO START. I like the point in the 12 Steps to Raw book about cooked food being an addiction. If I allow myself "some", I'm not "sober" and I'll be feeding the craving. I also agree with that book that the addiction will always be there. So I'm going to try the 100% raw for LIFE. I've already tested myself, and when I try to eat mostly raw, with some cooked, I can't stop the binging.
