the master cleanse: day one

I woke up a little before seven o'clock. mixed the salt and the water. chugged. let me tell you, it wasn't the most fun I've ever had in my life. but it wasn't as bad as I was expecting, either. it is hard to get that last bit down, though. that's just a lot of water in general, not to mention salt water!

but I think it's working.

I also made some batches of my lemonade drink throughout the day. it's actually not even all that bad! the cayenne pepper gives it quite a kick and it's nice and lemony. I'm juicing the lemons in our green power juicer {thanks again, grandpa!} and am still trying to figure out the best way to get the most juice out of each of these lemons.

at this rate I'll need about nine lemons per day. I'll also go through one jug of spring water per day. and I don't think this grade b maple syrup is going to last me that long (and it's kinda pricey). this cleanse might end up being slightly expensive. but hey, it's for my health.

I've been surprised by the fact that I really don't care about food. this not eating thing has been pretty easy. now tomorrow might be a completely different story. {I hear day two is especially hard.} so we'll see if I get any cravings or anything.

my energy levels are at a pretty normal level. I take my life-blood with me everywhere. anytime I'm feeling a dip, I just take a sip.

hurrah for cleansing!

post script: fyi. when you go without this stuff for an hour, you start to get hungry. always remember to bring it to the young women's activity, even if you think it's going to be a short one.
