All I can say is I DID IT I DID IT ;0 .... The last two days were the hardest for me I was tired of the maple syrup too sweet and has a strong nausea smelly. I came I saw I conquered it has truly has been an experience and now I am ready to push even more.

Day 8 I didn't write for all I can say is Im about tired with the lemonade mix and I cannot wait till I have some real fruit juice.  Day 9 I am still in bed will update soon have to go to whole foods for my easing out process of this detox.

Today was going ok until my dog has seizure it just made me want to order a pizza and call it a day. Now I know what type of person I am I eat out of emotions it helps me deal with stress in my life. Teddy really scared me and it made me panic.. So now I am trying to regroup and drink my lemonade. I need to start drinking it right after the salt water flush because it is getting late and makes me not want to drink anymore. any who I have to breath and relax ;-0

DAY 7

WOW I am almost there just three more days. This is my first time doing the cleanse and it has been such a good experience. The first three days for me were not the hardest I think the closing days will be because honestly speaking I am tired of the tea, lemonade and the swf... but I will prevail just cannot wait till I drink some diluted fresh squeezed orange juice. I still have energy and my face has improved I actually have some color in the cheeks again I missed that. Well I haven't started my day yet so off I go. 

To end the misery that has afflicted the human condition for thousands of years, you have to start with yourself and take responsibility for you inner state at any given moment. That means now. -Eckhart Tolle

So while I have been drinking my Lemonade I have been looking at recipes for veggie soup when I get off the detox and I found a good one by alton brown I would like to share for whoever is reading this now. Man the things I look forward to cooking when I am done.

The day ended well I am so happy I am off tomorrow and the ravens won to all the peeps I know in Baltimore well deserved.
Good night day six.

Day 6

Is here already I have four more days this has really been an experience indeed. Day five didnt go so well as I thought I only ended up drinking three drinks yesterday so I decided not to take the tea before I went to bed. I will probably take the max today drink wise so I can use the tea tonight. Will not being doing the saltwater thing either tomorrow morning I will start back on it again. So superbowl sunday today I have to work I doubt it will be too busy. Yesterday we got swamp with customers which is a really good thing indeed. Well I better start my day will update tonight.

Day 5 

YAY Im at the half way mark and I am feeling really good inside and out. Work was a bit busy but did not distract me at all. I am happy to say that day 4 was a beautiful day indeed. I had no desire to lick or taste anything at all. I feel more clear and conscious about my goals.. I'm driven and nothing is going to take me off my path to start living again. So here is to day 5 I will update tonight or tomorrow. peace and love

Day 4

Good morning well damn what can I say as far as I know I have been dreaming about being a cheater when it comes to eating... then I woke up to the scent of my mother in law cooking so that explains the food dreams of me eating just a taste and then reprimanding myself. Glad it's a new day and new beginning tomorrow is gone and is a mere past now. Looking forward today and giving good light and love for this day is making it all better. Will update again later on I have to work tonight and hopefully it will be a busy night full of distractions.

Day 3 is officially almost over I think this was by far the worse day for me but I resisted any urge or temptation. I started having stomach cramps in the middle of the day and I think it may be  mother nature calling this month I will find out soon enough. I am a tad hungry but I am going to drink the tea and off to sleep I go. I shall prevail on to day 4

Day three is just started for me I have been finding a hard time sleeping and waking up around 4 to take a BM... That tea works like clock work. So I think I may find it easier to work and cleanse because I am constantly doing something. I've been thinking about food when it comes to trying out new and old recipes like baked penne pasta with veggies and a red snapper recipe. I know I can't go backwards with the same old food and I know it is all about portion control but my goal and mindset has to be strict at least until I reach my goal then I can have the meal that I deserve. But who said healthy food isn't delicious. I must say I am very proud of myself so far because this has been teaching me literally and mentally nothing or no one can hold you back from achieving all your goals and desires in this life. The only person that can stop you is yourself. So I said to self we are doing this shit get with the program. Well I am off to the salt water flush... will update soon

Day two was a bit longer than day one nothing that interesting to report no headaches or other problems at all. When I decided to do this cleanse I researched a good amount of problems other people had. So far I haven't been affected that much I was a bit hungry as the day came to an end but the smooth move will end that little ting of hunger. So two each is own when it comes to this detox. I have decided not to weight myself for the sole purpose that I am not interested in the weight loss aspect which I believe is mostly water retention. I did it for the reset of my mind and stomach... to better understand what my body wants and needs most which is a healthier lifestyle. I had a bit of doubt coming to the close of the day but I know I can do this and If I stop now it would only stop my growth on this journey I am taking. So as always here is to day two. Im ready for you day three and I am going to keep on going. By the way I take the salt water flush in the morning when I wake up and I took all 32oz of it. It's not so bad at all.... I was expecting ocean taste lol. Mind over matter people.

So day one wasn't so bad went to work around five o clock. It's strange once you start doing something for your health how many people try to tempt you even my boss tried even after I told her I was detoxing. Well I know part of my job is tasting food since Im a cook in the kitchen. I wasn't even tempted for anything that was around at all. So I came home had the smooth move tea and woke up early and did my first BM... Im not a early bird so it was a tad disruptive but after I went I felt lighter and less bloated. It took me a while to go back to sleep kept thinking about random things but eventually fell back to sleep. So here is to day two I am off work today ;)

Day One

Just started day one of the cleanse the lemon concoction was good... feeling burnt out a bit from a night of all you can eat mexican and drinking with co workers. Im excited and relieved that Im doing this for myself. I will update as soon as I can after work. Here is to day one

Well a slight detour today I decided to wait to do the master cleanse until tuesday... Considering that I was invited to go to a casino birthday event. The casino allows smoking and I figure it wouldn't be such a healthy place to be during a detox ;-) part of me is happy that I am waiting but the other part is waiting to test my strength and ability with the detox. So here is to tuesday while I wait I am going to focus on eating healthier and drinking a good amount of water.

Is it day one yet?

Hello self and who ever is reading this.. I made this blog just like many people that make blogs to track things that are going on in life. I consider blogs to be a virtual diary of anything you have interest in. I am not the best writer so bare with me if you are reading this. I have decided to make this about my trials and continual growth as a person and well being. Starting tomorrow I have decided to do the master cleanse to detox my body. I am 5'8 and 175lbs after long abuse to my body through the years it is time to give back. It will be the minimum ten day cleanse and what I am hoping to gain is mental strength as well as physical wellness for my body which doesn't need any more abuse. Usually I could eat healthy and work out but lately there has been at least mentally something that is blocking me from continuing self discipline. Looking forward to day one and off I go to work... By the way I work in a restaurant so here's to mind over matter.
