4 Days Post Cleanse Update

OK guys, this is a little embarrassing to admit to you all, but I have to get it off my chest. Well, it's already off my chest now, off my head I guess.

Alright, so day 1, I had the OJ up until around 10pm ... I had begun making my witches brew, I mean soup, and once I started doing the tasting test, I needed to just go ahead and have a bowl. Had some rye crackers, etc. All was fine with that.

Next day ... more soup, juice, and began having salad. I pretty much stuck with those things and the rye crackers and a little soy butter throughout the day. All was fine.

Alright. I am the kind of person I suppose who likes to see just how far I can go or push things sometimes. So, day three, I guess I found my boundaries.

I was taking care of my 6 y.o. neice. We made some healthy vegan style macaroni and cheese ... soy cheese, soy milk, soy butter etc... It looked good, but I only had a small bite just for a temperture check. Other than that, throughout the day, stuck with soup, salad, fruit, and a bowl of flax and somethin somethin cereal ... Later in the day, mom came by and brought me some white bean, carrot, celery, and TURKEY BURGER soup. I told her I couldn't have it until at least tomorrow. (day 4) so, I put it in the fridge.

Later took the 6 y.o. to see Garfield, which was awesome by the way. And this is where I *&^%&ed up royally! I got us some popcorn. Ate like half the bag (med bag) ... then I got home and heated up some of that soup.

Went to bed about 1:30am.

2:30 am ... I am dying! Totally feeling like I am going to vomit ... stomach bloated at least 3 or 4 inches beyond what it normally looks like, I eventually did puke. I didn't try to force it or anything. I just wanted to let it naturally progress if it was going to happen. OMG ... this was no ordinary vomit. This was so nasty and thick and it just kept coming. And then I had to turn around and go more from the other end. I swear between both ends, I'm sure I dropped 5 pounds.

Well, now I know how far I can go. See, I was so careful the last time ... and then I had heard of people breaking their fast and going straight to having certain foods that I thought, wow, should they really be eating that? So, I tried and no can do. Next time I will REALLY know better. I learn better by experience anyway.

So, now I am wondering THIS though ... on my last post cleanse day 4, I had a lobster dinner without a hitch. I have reservations for the same this THIS evening as well. After my experience last night, do you think that is still going to be ok? I think it was just whatever I put in my stomach after that popcorn is what caused the problem and I feel absolutely fine today. Can work out and everything.

OK ... Now I have released a little of my guilt and feel better now.
