Master Cleanse
After 4 pregnancies, I felt it was time for a cleanse. Since I'm trying to loose the last 30 lbs. to get to my pre-baby weight, I thought a good old detoxification would do my body some good.
Of course I did some research on the subject, talked to my people and found a lot of different responses. While a few people had done a cleanse, many had not or vowed they would never. Among those who had, several had done the Master Cleanse or also called the Lemonade Diet. I like lemonade, so I wanted to learn more.
Basically, you make a batch of yummy lemonade (fresh lemons, maple syrup, water and cayenne pepper). It honestly delicious. So you make a fresh batch for each meal and whenever else you feel hungry. For 10 days.
On Monday I started, and also ended. Yep. Big willpower. You know how much I love coffee right? I didn't have any because the diet doesn't allow for it and boy oh boy did I ever feel terrible. I was seriously suffering from caffine withdrawl. I guess I drink more than I thought. I had sweats, felt nausious, had a headache and thought I'd throw up at least 2 times tht day. So I ate oatmeal and took some tylenol then went to play tennis. Still had the headache, but felt better having eaten.
Then on Tuesday, I realized how many darn lemons i still had, so I decided to embark on the cleanse once again. I've been on since - a whopping 2 days.
It's incredible actually, because I feel amazing. No hunger, lots of energy. I wouldn't believe this if someone told me.
I'll keep you posted...check back for my daily feedback.

“Studies show that if you reward people for doing an activity, they often stop doing it for fun; being paid turns it into ‘work.’” So says Gretchen Rubin in her runaway bestseller, The Happiness Project. She even mentions reading. “Parents, for example, are warned not to pay children for reading—they’re teaching kids to read for a reward,” she says, “not for pleasure.”
