Heya Mission Possible!!!

way to go!

I was happy to see that you are still going strong...I broke my 45er on 3/12 and feel so good. Mentally especially. You can do ANYTHING you put your mind to ,right!

My take on the dryness is that your body may be taking from one spot to put in the spot where you need it and it sounds like dehydration and you are retaining salt.
Totally normal. If you can,after the big purge in the a.m., chug a barrel of h2o.
It helps flush out that salt. Dry lips is probably from you licking them thinking about that #$%^& pizza!hah

you are being a good MCer and following the plan, not skimping, skippin etc
If you are not drinking full strenth ,2/2tbl. then I highly advise it. Especially at this stage of the game...you are doing great...

I have lugged my share of wheel barrels in my day and have an iron back to prove it. (dug jacuzzi holes) Tough work, glad you are drinking tons a day. very smart!

If you are also doing this to reduce may I give you a tip that has worked for me? Stay away from starches as much as possible for a couple of months. You will gain 1/2 the weight you lost back in that time EASY if you just go back to the routine. I found right around mcday 35-36 that my cravings were gone unless I dwelled. Learn to shrug off the fantasies about food and change the channel. This has helped me in my eating habits post MC. It is so important EVERYONE that you keep the same discipline and willpower post cleanse. Once you give in , you will find yourself in 4-5 months with all the weight back and more!!! Food as you have learned these last 34 days, is mostly in the mind. When you are done with your break (I broke for 20 days)and transitioning into 'normal' eating , remember everyone,that your digestive tract/system is operating more efficiently than it possibly has since you were a young kid. Your body will suck up a ton more calories, fat, nutrients, vitamins,etc. EAT LESS,CHEW LONGER, DRINK UP ,DRINK UP .

I'm sure you are proud of yourself and I can relate(hell,I'm gleaming for you too). I feel so confident in my life. Master cleanse=mastering your self. You are there !!! Walk tall. Look at my past posts for the killer broth recipe! I still make it and my family loves it...no salt!

Enjoy your last few days...Enjoy the rest of your life!

Congradulations, and rock on!
Treat that clean body with respect and the best!
