Day 2 and 3 Master CLEANSE

So I had a bit of fun while squeezing the lemons for the lemonade mix yesterday! Note to all those thinking about trying the cleanse...if you are on antidepressants or other psychotropic drugs it is ok to keep taking them during the cleanse, just dont take additional supplements. For various family members doing the cleanse we needed to check it out so I read a lot about it. Not only that but do stick to the recipe and it takes kinda good after a day or so. I am used to it now and its good :) We used Agave Nectar on Sunday and that was a HUGE MISTAKE!! The lemonade was gag worthy...yesterday we got the grade B maple syrup for 11.99 a bottle (cheaper than 15 haha but wow) and it really made a difference.

Lemonade Recipe:
2 tbs freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tbs grade b maple syrup
1/10 tsp cayenne pepper
8 oz pure water


**we are using organic lemons and it takes one per person to get 2 tbs..they are large though. For our water we are taking advantage of our reverse osmosis faucet :) if mixed right this tastes pretty good. Use a juicer that gets rid of the pulp or a hand juicer. The hand juicer gives you a good workout if you are making for more than one. And drink at least 6 glasses of lemon juice a day.






So what I am experiencing...to be frank

-grime on my tongue...relatively thick coating on it
-nose bleed
-congestion in my nose followed by extreme clearness of it
-stomach noises and hurts only after eliminating
-very very loose eliminations
-burping
-acne clear ups
-skin itchiness
-different smelling sweat..smells metallic to me...my brother says he doesnt think i smell weird but hey its MY body!!
-Same energy level
-clearer mind
-focussed
-taking better control of self
-exercising is not harder, in fact its only day 2 and while im tired like i usually am i am more awake!
-more self confidence and strength of will
-food is unappetizing..mainly because i know how it will feel in my body


So in general i am doing great. I just need to get out of myself and do something. with the AC out though it is 85 in my room and that makes it hard to want to really get up and work or do anything other than drink lemonade/water/tea and sleep. haha. I think once that is fixed my energy will vastly improve. Heat always makes me tired. Speaking of which Today I am going to the pool and then taking the dogs on walks in the park so I am excited!! :D And yesterday I got a job in provo and I start next wednesday. I fly back on monday next. I will dearly dearly miss my san antonio friends but I look forward to seeing my provo friendsies. I love you all in MD too!! I love all of you and wish I could always be around to share the good times and crazy life with yall. You are always in my heart and often in my mind. I think of you often and hope for your happiness, safety, health, and humor.

And as always I am learning everyday that I could use more,

Patience

LEMONADE!!!
