DAY 1 Yep. That’s right, folks. Day 11 didn’t quite go as planned. Nor did Day 12, 13 or 14...so I am back to square 1. SO sad for me. Actually...honestly? It was FABULOUS!! I had the yummiest food and made sure I appreciated every tiny crumb. I DID keep making and drinking my tea every morning and night and made my cleanse concoction every day...I just didn’t drink it! :) Back up on the horse today! No beating myself up as that would completely go against the whole ”appreciation” part of this project. As soon as I fell off I started looking for things to appreciate and reading Abe s ...

DAY 9 This was a VERY bumpy day for me! I had real cravings - the screw this I want food couldn’t care less about the cleanse kind of cravings. But somehow I made it through. I did not drink much of my cleanse drink that day - in protest, I think. :) So - I don’t remember anything about that day aside from being mad at the cleanse and life in general. Of course, this too I’m sure was a detox symptom! DAY 10 MUCH better day on day 10. I also decided that I was on solid footing enough to make up the cleanse mixture as I drank it - still drinking two glasses at a time, for a total o ...

Hi Sacristia, Thanks so much!! YES - definitely getting the detox symptoms - all of them, I believe. :) I’ve never done a water fast, but I believe the Master Cleanse is a gentler version - you have quite a bit of energy on it and I hear that is not the case with a water fast. SO happy you like thepioneerwoman.com! I just adore that site! I just found it a month ago and thought I found a cute little unknown blog site...little did I know she has been on TV, has books out and has thousands and thousands of visitors every day! Read her ”Black Heels To Tractor Wheels” blog story on ...

DAY 7 I was VERY crave-y on day 7, must say. But I wasn’t tempted to cheat...a big difference! I was a bit sleepy and loopy and am in the groove. Not too much going on in the bm area, and my breakouts are gone. I DO feel muscle spasms and getting mild muscle cramps, which I never get. SO happy I read allllll about the detox stages and signs so as soon as anything happens, I don’t worry and know I’m sailing along on schedule. DAY 8 YAY! Day 8. So far, so good. I will admit that I spent a good two hours on thepioneerwoman.com looking at her recipes...but that’s as far as it goes! I ...

DAY 5 This was another easy day for me, and the bm’s are darker and more frequent. I honestly don’t like to look at them, so not sure if they are all like that. :) I did have a few LIGHT cravings - or at least talking about food - but thats about it. SUCCESS! DAY 6 This day was definitely tougher for me...but still no where near any other of my cleanse experiences. I had cravings, made it to the fridge and poked around for a while and then in the cabinets...and even though there were very tasty things to be found...they didn’t interest me! So, I had cravings, but they were not st ...

Already on day 5...oops...I did write a length entry on day one and somehow it got deleted so I gave up.  I will start by saying this time around has been a breeze compared to my previous cleanses. BREEZE. That’s not to say I haven’t have the vaguest whisper of McDonald’s cheeseburgers (haven’t had one in years) running around my head, but I would say any craving whispers - not screams like they used to be - have come and go only three or so times, and they lasted seconds. In one case it was light light light cravings for a few hours (day 3), but never did I even enter the kitchen ...
