Day 20 on the Master Cleanse – Lemonade Diet
Day 20 on the Master Cleanse. I have decided to stop on day 21 instead of going 40 days. I am finding myself a bit foggy and spending too much time thinking about food. I am actually ready to head onto a juicing fast experience. Vegetable juice is what I am going to go on – then move into a 80/20 raw food life style – I believe. I have been doing quite a bit of research on You Tube about how to “cook” raw food. I really need to get a Vitamix Blender – but the things are $600 or so, and I also need a Excalibur Dehydrator – which is about $300 as well. I have planted a huge garden – which isn’t producing much yet.
Well – the reason for this cleanse is to reset my eating habits – I had lost a bunch of weight from going through a child custody case – prolly 20-30 bs. But I was not healthy at all. The past couple months other things happened in my life and I ended up eating a bunch of sugar – etc. Probably mostly because I decided to eliminate any type of alcohol in my diet. So, I yo-yo’d and put 20 lbs back on quick. So – I needed to find some balance and that is the purpose of the cleanse. To eliminate caffeine, sugar, alcohol, tobacco, energy drinks – etc. from my diet. This is the 4th time I have done the cleanse – and last time it was for 22 days. I guess I hit this wall - and my body says enough. I didn’t weigh myself in the beginning – because I didn’t want to use this for weight loss – since I am average to below average for my weight per my height. I did lose a bunch – last time – it was about a lb a day. So… it was nice not obsessing about how much you lose because you put a good portion of it back on afterwards. This time – I am going to change my eating habits and not include the sugar, flour, etc. in my diet and focus on raw. I don’t want to feel as if I am restricting myself – because I don’t think that is healthy either. So… anyway – this is what is going on for me on day 20. Tomorrow at 6pm it will be over and I will start juicing zucchini and cucumbers with some carrot and ginger. Cheers! Thanks for the support!

Ugh… woke up with an anxiety attack!
Bleh – I hate that when that happens! I have so much on my mind. I’ve been looking for work to no avail and I find it frustrating. Unemployment ran out last week, I thought I had another week on it. I’m just trying to figure out how to put it all together again. It was nice having a couple months of peace in a way – letting the dust settle from the court crap – well… kinda. But now it is back to stress on how to make this all work – survival… Anyway.
Finishing up day 10 on my Master Cleanse!
Well – today I woke with a headache and I felt a little hungry today – which I was surprised. It lasted for about a half hour. I’ve been a little sluggish today – I think it is because I didn’t sleep well last night more so than the fasting. So, other than that, not much to report on the Master Cleanse today – pretty uneventful. I cooked a roast in the slow cooker last night with carrots, potatoes, and onions with a bit of Rosemary. Things smell real good, but I can not say that I crave anything, or it totally makes me want to eat. The only thing that makes me want to eat is the new blueberry bush that has some pretty blueberries on it.
Have been listing artwork up pretty inexpensive up on Ebay - and listing work on Etsy as well – you can click on the links to take a look. I am hoping to clean out my studio to have more space – in case one of these days I have, or need to move – whichever comes first.
Got some new plants and seeds for the garden yesterday. I got a couple pepper plants, strawberry plants, and a blueberry bush. Along with that I got some sweet corn seeds and more soy beans since the slugs ate everything! I got more slug killer as well – geesh they are everywhere!
Anyway – Will write more later. I need to get back to editing photos and possibly working on a painting I started yesterday…
Ciao for now!
Day 8 of my fast finished…
Well, just got into bed to do a little updating on my fast as well as some other things. First of all, day 8 of my fast was pretty uneventful. I didn’t have any grade b maple syrup for the morning – but it was ok since the kids and I were heading out to a computer store that fixes computers – it kinda sucks because all 3 of our laptops had something happen to them. Anyway… I would have to say that day 8 on my fast kind of came and went. My smell is still very acute which is good and bad at the same time. My stomach grumbled once – which kind of surprised me. I didn’t drink all of the lemonade drink that I made when I got home at 6pm. My time of the month started yesterday in which I noticed that cramping wasn’t as severe. That is always a plus. I don’t really crave anything – but still notice that I want to lick the spoons whenever I make anything for the family. This is good – noticing habits. I didn’t drink as much water as I should – I will remember to do that tomorrow. So, nothing really major to report – other than I still hate the Salt Water Flush EVERY morning – I despise it and have to just do it and not think about it.
So, today was good. Got more of the garden re-planted since the slugs and bugs ate half of it. After that went to the computer store to see what was wrong with our computers – My computer is fried – they weren’t sure why – so I have to go back tomorrow to see if it is cost-effective to have it fixed. Then, my son’s computer – the screen was broken, and my daughters will only be $50 to fix – this is a good thing! I thought I would have to trash them all. Woo hoo! So… Going back there at 10am. So after that – went to the store to get a hoe and a couple more packs of seeds.
Came home, fixed the family dinner – and painted for a little bit. Started on a small eye painting. Sooo… that’s about that. Not much else happened.
Anyway – good luck to all who are on the cleanse. As I said, I am not sure how long I will do it for – 14 days minimum though.
Good Night all!
Day 7 on my Master Cleanse!
Well… thought I would post about my fast since I haven’t yet. Done with day 7. Yesterday I woke with a major headache – which is normal for this cleanse. But… it went away. What has been the most noticeable about this go around with cleansing is that my smell is way more acute. Almost to the point of being annoying. I smell everything – I mean EVERYTHING. It gets a bit overwhelming – especially today when I was in the sauna – ugh… the BO was terrible. So… other than that – nothing really eventful regarding the cleanse today. It really is all about mind over matter. The good thing I find about cleansing is that you tend to find out what your habits are… such as tasting the food when you cook, etc. Also, if you are a snacker – well… you find out how many times you go to the fridge to just grab something. Things like that. The absolute worst part about this cleanse is the Salt Water Flush – they call it the SWF on the other websites, or when you Google Master Cleanse or Lemonade Diet. It does really help though – and fairly painless, other than the Laxative Tea. That tea really gives you cramps, and I don’t find any reason to do the tea in the evening and the SWF in the morning – since they achieve the same thing. Do plan the SWF for the morning a few hours before you head out, even better – a few hours before you go to bed because it can be completely annoying and you have to plan around it. Hmmm… I didn’t weigh myself before – and doubt I will weigh myself when I get done because when I did the cleanse for 22 days – I would focus on the weight lost each day and that caused stress if I went up a pound randomly. I did lose 18 lbs when I did do that cleanse – so I already know it works as far as weight loss – so I am not concerned. This time I would like to do the fast for 21-30 days – but I am not going to commit to that. I am committing to 14 days minimum – even though I have read several times that the true feeling of the cleanse – all the heightened senses don’t truly come in to play until 21 days. So, that’s probably enough about that – although I forgot to get more grade B Maple Syrup today – so I will have to go in the morning. It’s ok though, because I am actually not hungry at all – that left on day 4. Day 3 and 4 are the very hardest – if you can get past those days – it is pretty easy. It is advised a minimum of 10 days with a max of 40 days for this particular cleanse. I did read though that you can go without food for 52 days. Makes me wonder why people feel the need to eat so much.
So, good night – and I will play more catch up tomorrow with art and all the other “stuff” that I think about.
Ciao. Kelli
