• Jun. 18, 2006 - My Master Cleanse Journal
Here are the notes that I have taken during the Master Cleanse.
Thursday, June 8, 2006 - 9pm -
made some dandelion root tea to start of my cleanse for tomorrow, I am
not sure I made it strong enough since it tastes like water. This
tea is suppose to be a laxative (according to some of my readings).
Friday June 9, 2006
0600 - I awoke early with no
affects of using the dandelion root tea (from dandelions in my chemical
free backyard) as a laxative. Today is the big day that I start
my cleanse. I have already postponed it a week due to visiting
family and I want to start before I lose my inspiration. I drank
a quart (dont ask me how I managed to get it down) of salt water (1
quart of water with 2 level tsps of sea salt). It was pretty
nasty, but quickly made up for the aforementioned dandelion root tea.
0700 - Started drinking the lemonade, it is pretty good.
1000 - A half gallon of my
gallon water is already gone. I was pretty thirsty bu except for
a slight craving for my delicious, yummy, whole wheat pancakes, I feel
like I can handle this.
1200 - starting to think about big juicy hamburgers.
1300 - I really want a juicy hamburger so I will try to take a nap - although I am not tired - to get my mind off food.
1500 - The nap has helped, but I am still thinking about food.
1800 - Made poor mans beef
stroganoff for dinner because I dont really like (and hubby does) ,
drinking my lemonade helps, but I am still thinking a lot about food.
2100 - Drinking some hot mint
tea (instead of a laxative tea). It is a nice change of pace and
helps. Now I will go to bed.
Saturday, June 10, 2006 -
0080 - I awoke earlier, but decided to try and start my day later so my hunger pains wouldnt kick in so early.
0830 - Drank the nasty salt solution, I didnt eliminate as much as expected.
0900 - I am feeling pretty good. I think I can do this for 10 days!
1130 - Decided to let the neighbors children come play in our yard to help get my mind off food.
1200 - Feeling a bit unsure. I really want some of the childrens boxed Kraft MacNCheese, which I really dont like.
1330 - Feeling headachy and lack of concentration, decided to take a nap.
1500 - Grammie arrives with
promise strawberries & a fresh loaf o cheese bread. It looks
yummy. I think I will freeze me a couple of slices for after the
cleanse.
1630 - Froze some of the strawberries for after the cleans.
1800 - Supper time. Made
Ravioli's, I hate Ravioli, but desparately want to devour some. I
t takes a strength and will power provided by God, because I know I
have zilch will power, not to eat the cheese bread, ravioli & salad.
2130 - Children are in bed,
decided to watch "The Greatest Show on Earth" (with Charleton Heston,
which I borrowed from my mom) to keep me distracted. I could
really go for a bowl of popcorn.
2300 - Another cup of peppermint tea and its off to bed!
