Starting Day 4
Hello all!
I have been reading this forum (again) for the past three days. I have found a lot of insight and information here that has helped me already in my Master Cleanse. Since I am only on day 4, I am still experiencing a little bit of hunger (totally psychological, I'm sure), and having some issues with headaches (I am prone to them b/c of a neck injury). I am hoping this cleanse will help me with the headache. I am in the Army, and I can't exactly tell my co-workers or higher ranking folks what I'm doing, as they would totally freak out. My husband is totally supportive of me though. I am glad this forum exists so that I can perhaps get some positive reinforcement and feedback.
I have done this cleanse in the past and only been on it for 10 days. I am hoping to go more than that this time. I am not going to set a 40-day goal right now, but it is a definite and very likely possibility. I don't want to set a long-term goal like that and then feel like a loser if I don't make it. So I'm going to go to 10 days, and then set some short-term goals from there.
I know that my body likes to be at about 150 pounds, at least, that is the weight it went to the last time I did this cleanse. If that is still the case, by the end of my cleanse, I should have dropped about 30 pounds. If that isn't the case, well then, at least I will have gotten the nasties out of my system, and be ready to re-embark on my raw vegan lifestyle. I was raw vegan for about a year 4 years ago, and when I joined the Army I had to switch to ovo-lacto vegetarian. Since then I have put on weight and become a 'junk food' vegetarian. I needed to jump start my healthy lifestyle again, so I have decided to do this cleanse. Any feedback from the cleansers on this forum would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much! Oh, and Pepe, I have enjoyed reading your posts and the information I have gotten from them. It has helped me to keep my head on straight when I started to get crazy expectations.
