End of MC -- day 20 :-) -- Long!

Hi everyone!

Well, today is day 20 and I decided to end the Master-Cleanse today. (Actually, last night I nibbled a bit too!) Today I had a lemonade and some diluted orange juice, and I just had some vegetable soup. It was a very mild soup with celery, sweet peppers, carrots...I drank a lot of the broth and chewed up the veggies really well. I've also had a couple of very yummy dates :-)

When I first started the Master-Cleanse I thought I would do only 10 days, but then I decided to add the B&P shakes after day 10. It felt good so I just kept going. Now as many of you know from my other posts, I had a bad day last week in which I ate some not-good-for-me food under not-good-for-me circumstances, and I did nibble *tiny* bits of food on many occasions...but anyhoo...;-)

I loved this fast! I've lost probably about 15lbs (don't know because I haven't been weighing myself), feel *much* healthier, and I think I may have even passed a short rope the other day. My friends say I look radiant, and I even feel that way. They *best* outcome of the Master-Cleanse for me is that I have been able to go to 8 yoga classes over the past 2 weeks! My body feels so different. I can't believe how changed I feel...

I decided to stop not because I was dying for a meal, but just because it felt right. Not much has changed for me in the past few days, and so I just felt it was the right time to stop. Also, I've come down with a cold. Since it came so late in the fast I don't think it is toxins coming out as a side effect. There is a lot of stuff going around here and so I think it is a good old fashioned cold. Anyway, I am going away on Thursday and I want to establish my new routine before then.

I plan to continue the B&P for a while in hopes of seeing more ropes, and I think that I will probably make a morning lemonade a new ritual since I love it so much.

Though I didn't do the MC exactly as I had planned, I did do it longer and feel that I achieved a lot. Now that I know what to expect I am really looking forward to doing this again. I am considering doing another at the start of May if not sooner!

:-)

Thanks for all of your support. Couldn't have done this without the community at this forum!
