From 9 P.M. last night until 10:30 A.M today I attempted to do the Master Cleanse. It was a failure, but in away I am happy I failed at this. I reluctantly drank a ”laxative tea” that tasted like spinach. It didn’t do anything but give me a weird sloshing sensation in my stomach. I felt like I had to go to the bathroom, but at the same time I didn’t have to go and I was up all night with a cold.
I drank about 3 glasses of the lemonade drink. It made me feel kind of naughty. Nobody knew what I was doing and it tasted a bit alcoholic. Like some spicy lemon cocktail. I felt fine except f ...

I did my midnight run in the park. I did 4 miles in about 45 minutes, which is my usual time. Not bad. I felt great and was in tears. So what my friends finished 10 minutes ahead of me! I did it. My mom even said she was so proud of me. I want to have a picture of just my number.
We slept until 1:30 P.M and went to the resturant. The best sushi I’ve ever had in my life and it was free!!. 9 pm I’m going to drink that damn tea and start the cleanse. My husband is a little apprehensive. He’s afraid I’m going to get really sick from this. I promised him if I get sick I’ll stop. He’s worried ...

If you’re near a Cosi salad/sandwich chain they sell kefir with a blueberry sauce. When I go I usually ask them to put in some frozen strawberries instead. It’s a great way to be able to go out with co-workers/friends and not look out of place. [End]

I would put the lemonade in the tea to 1) sweeten the tea, 2) flavor the tea.
If Snapple can sell lemonade ice tea blends... [End]

Two more questions for me...
1) Is there a limit on how much of the lemonade drink we can have?
2) Can we mix it use lemon and lime at the same time?
3) Can we add some of the lemonade drink in the tea?
I also want to thank everybody for answering all my questions. You have all been helpful. [End]

The headache is almost gone. I had some coffee, 1 slice whole grain bread w/fresh peanut butter, a slice of pizza, trail mix. (not at the same time :) )
I bought the tea and made the lemonade. Now I find out my husband and I were invited to go to Masa for dinner tomorrow! Postponing the cleanse until Tuesday 1/2, because I really can’t pass up my one and only chance to eat a $200 pp sushi dinner.
I did do some retail therapy. Bought myself a new bag. I also came up with a reward system for doing the cleanse.
5 days--a new cell phone
7 days-- a new pair of boots
10 days -- Tiffan ...

I was going to start tomorrow, but I found out my husband and I were invited to go to dinner at the one place I have been dying to try for over a year. When someone offers to take you out for $200 pp sushi, you go! [End]

This is the ninth day in a row I’ve had a headache. I feel fat and my throat is sore. I had to take some generic Tylonol. I reaaly do not want to go out tonight. I paid for that damn run and I am going to do it. The house also looks like crap. Dishes need to be washed, clothes have to be put away, and I have to go out and buy the lax tea. Yogi Tea is on sale, but I want the chocolate one. At 1am I start the cleanse. I still am a little nervous. Somebody posted a nice comment wishing me luck. Now my fears are with the headaches. I get terrible headaces all the time. I don’t want them to deb ...

I thought this was funny, the large natural foods store in my neighborhood had only 2 bottles of Grade B syrup left. The cashier told me there was a big rush for the syrup because everybody fasts at the begining of the new year. They were also running low on lemons.
I also made a test run of the lemonade--I actually though it was quite yummy. [End]

I’m not going to start the Master Cleanse until 1/1/07. I already pre-made the ”lemonade.” I think it’s quite tasty. I would have started it tonight, but I have a massive headache. I’ve had this headache since the day before Christmas. Nothing seems to be working. I’m off from work tomorrow, so I’ll relax by going for a skate (weather permitting). I also have to pick up my number for my midnight race in the park.
So far it looks like I’ll be starting 2007 on a positive note. I kick off the new year with a 4 mile run (my first race!) and a cleansing. My only real fear now with the cleans ...

I went to the store to get supplies. I was so confused over what to buy. I saw a several different ”detox” teas. I didn’t know what to get. I got the lemons, the grade B, the sea salt, and the water. I just couldn’t figure which tea to get. [End]

1) I have to be at work at 6am--how should I use the SWF/lax tea?
2) Will I be able to exercise?
3) Is green tea/decaf herbal tea allowed during the cleanse?
Thank you in advance. [End]
