Starting Day 13 - Down 20 pounds

Today is day 13, and I'm feeling much better emotionally. I have energy and a positive attitude. Unfortunately, I'm still having serious aches and pains in my lower body. My legs feel fatigued; like I just walked 5 miles. I won't take any medication for it, so I'm just going to get past it. I'm really hoping for a break from the pain though!

I had a great morning at my meeting. So many people are commenting on my weight loss and how I don't have that "moon face" anymore (from the medicine). Its true. The brain fog is GONE! I also don't have that swollen look in my face. I can't believe the changes in less than 2 weeks.

I have now lost 20 pounds on this MC, for a total of 35 pounds since August. This was my first goal for the MC. I hope to lose another 5-10 pounds before I'm finished.

Most of my cravings are gone too. I did take a long look at the cheese while I made my son's sandwich, but it wasn't HARD to say no. I no longer crave any meat or bread. I am getting to the point that I'm gonna go crazy if I can't have a big salad. It sure helps that even if I decided to stop now, I'd have to wait a few days before eating a salad. It gives me a chance to think about what I'm doing...

I am getting my supplies in order for my liver flush. I have the apples in the fridge, and grapefruit on the counter. Now I just need the oil. I'm thinking about taking a break from the Master-Cleanse to do the Liver Flush next Saturday. Then I'll decide whether to continue or go into the raw food. I will have to see how I'm doing on Wednesday to make my decision, because that would give me time to switch to apple juice before the flush. If I want to wait, I'll do it the following weekend. Since this is my first flush, I want to do it when hubby is home to keep the kids out of the way.

Anyways, just wanted to update and again, thanks to ALL of you for the encouragement to start the Master-Cleanse and to continue. It has made a tremendous difference already.
