Day Six (And A Rewind On Five)

Hey there,

I am now on day six of the Master Cleanse.

It's Sunday and I've been laying around all day. I ventured out briefly to pick some lemons earlier, but other than that I've been enjoying not doing one single thing. This is typical of most Sundays for me.

My energy is a little low today. I think this is probably in part to my over doing yesterday. I wasn't doing anything real crazy or anything. Just some hula hooping and yoga, but I felt the effects soon after. Doing abdominal exercise while on a cleanse is not a great idea.

Since then, I have recovered from my little episode and am now making sure I take'r easy today.

I feel good about what I have accomplished so far and am still looking forward to finishing out these last four days. I watched some videos on Youtube earlier about people who have gone to complete 40 days on the cleanse. 40 days makes my 10 look pretty weak in comparison so you won't hear any complaining from me.

I'm not really hungry. The cayenne is still doing it's job there. I grabbed some limes while I was out too. You're allowed to substitute them in for the lemons so my next batch will be a limeade. Hold onto your hats!

It's been a peaceful day for me. Hope it's been the same for you. Happy Mother's Day if you're a mom.

Good vibes to all.

Day Four - Feeling Good, Feeling Great

Hey kids,

I woke up feeling like a million bucks today.
Had the usual picnic at the park. It was tops..............

.......I parted from the computer for a little bit......

Now I'm back just for a second to let you know how it's going.
I've made it through day four. Tomorrow is halfway.

I'm not going to type any more. I just wanted those who may be interested to know that I have not failed.

Peace be with you.
See you tomorrow.

Day Three - Up and Down

I've gotten through my 3rd day on the Master Cleanse.

It's been weird. I was kind of delusional for the first half of the day and pretty sluggish with sudden spouts of energy. I'm feeling pretty normal right now. I've upped my dosage of cayenne in the lemonade and I think it's helping a lot.

The past few days are kind of blurry. Each day has felt so long that it's hard to comprehend that this is day three. It's like they're all smashed together.

I've felt really slooooooow for a majority of the day. And I haven't really wanted to talk. Typing is fine. It's the actually forming of words and making them come out of my mouth. Definitely something different for me. An ideal environment to complete this cleanse would be somewhere completely isolated and very sunny and warm. Starving yourself on a deserted island would be tops.

I had a mild flash of doubt earlier that I could see this through. I'm not sure what sprung it, but the doubt is gone now. I've been working on eliminating all negativity from around me. WORKING on it. I've not achieved such a great feat as of yet, but I hope to only form positive and productive thoughts from now on. I don't like being negative and it seems that when I actually do or say something not so nice I end up sticking my foot in my mouth or have it come back and bite me in the ass. SO. Let's just play nice.

One of my best good friends lent/gave me a great book a while back. I read it again the day before I started the cleanse as a little uplifting leap.

This book is great. It's about an oppressed flower and a lucky cricket. There is a Buddhist (I think) prayer in the book that I really like and say frequently. I'm sure it could translate into whichever faith you're going with. It's pretty legit and straight forward. It really melts my anxiety and helps bring me peace of mind when I put it on repeat in my brain. It goes....

From the unreal, lead me to the real.

From darkness, lead me to light.

From death, lead me to eternal life.

Simple as that. I've seen variations of this all over the place. Most recently in a book on yoga that I've had for a while. It's a good one.

I was searching youtube for that prayer and came across this. The translation is in the description box. It's pretty beautiful and sums up what I'm going for at this point.

I hope everyone is having a peaceful and happy day. Good vibes to all.

I'm In Sloth Mode.

It's the morning of my 3rd day on the Master Cleanse.

I feel reeeeeaaaaaaaalllllly slooooooooooow. And like I need to stay that way.
I've been burning a lot of sage. It helps clear my sinus' and cancels out negativity simultaneously. Double duty.

Also, hippie deodorant doesn't work but I use it anyway so I'm not poisoning myself with aluminum.

I'm ready to take on day three. Not with  much energy, but with endurance and will power. I'm not hungry, but I feel weak. Today would be perfect for a mugging. I'd probably just give them my purse freely without a fight.

Murphey Browntown is really cute.

Hopefully my calm and tranquility will infect all the children I am scheduled to sit on today.

I'm charging my crystal in the sun.

I have rocks in my pocket.

I'm making Bela Bartok my soundtrack until I want to make someone else my soundtrack.

I need stamps.

Can you carry me?

Grandmas are neat.

Did you know that you can have up to 75 chickens in the city here?

My left armpit sweats more than my right. Why is that?

Where are my hardrives when I need them?

These are some of my thoughts and statements of the morning. Were they weird? Probably.


Thank you for the positive vibes being sent my way. I'm sending them to you too.

Day Two - I'm Confused

Hey.
It's the second day of my Master Cleanse. Going well.
It was a bit more tricky for my brain today than yesterday but I held up just fine.
Being around and making food actually kind of helped ease any anxiousness, as odd as that sounds. We'll see if I feel the same way tomorrow.
I went to the store to buy more lemons earlier. I'm allowed to have decaf tea, so I got a couple of those as well. For some reason buying the tea made me really excited to see this thing through.

Party time.

I've been practicing the yoga sequence I posted in this blog from the other day. It's going well. I love back bends but my handstands need some work. I'm trying to prevent the loss of too much muscle mass while on this thing without doing anything too strenuous. The yoga and pilates seem to be doing the trick.

I'm excited to see what I can achieve once I'm able to start Bodyrocking again.
I think it's going to be good.

Well.....that's all I have to say.

Keep sending the positive vibes my way. I'm sending them to you.

Day One - Mind Games

This is going to be short and will, probably, contain no pictures for your fancy little eyes.It happens. I have a special guest in town and I don't want to be rude.

The point of this is; I am attempting to complete The Master Cleanse. I wanted to give a little insight every day to let you know how I'm holding out. So. Here it is.

I haven't strayed from the lemonade concoction. Neat.
I'm not really hungry physically per-se but mentally it has been a little tricky.
The lemonade is pretty good and I think the cayenne in it helps numb my insides properly so I don't feel like I'm starving to death.


From what I understand, the first two days are supposed to be the hardest to get through. I will admit that at this point ten days is seeming like a hot minute but I'm going to do my best to stay on track.

Any and all positive vibes of strength and good tidings sent my way are much appreciated.

One day down. Nine to go.
