my awesome diet for the next 7-10 daysi've decided, after being a glutton for the past month or so and not working out consistently, that i'm going to embark on the master cleanse for the second time this year. it's basically a process where you drink this special lemonade all day, and drink a salt water concoction in the morning and a laxative tea at night to help you release those bugaboos in your body.
what are my specific reasons for doin the cleanse?
1. to detoxify all this crap i've been consuming -- damn, ever since summer vacation i swear i've been eating a major meal at least three times a day.
2. to get back to healthy habits -- i.e. working out, eating better, paying attention to what's good for me; and doin the cleanse is a good jump start. swear, last time i did it, i paid attention to random shit like flossing everyday and doing my bed and eating better and working out; just taking better care of myself.
3. it's a good time for me to start the cleanse, since it's halfway into the year since the last time i did it. i did it at the beginning of this year, and it surprisingly worked wonders for my energy and health habits, so i think this is a good time -- about 6/7 months later, to do it again. plus, i'm on summer vacation now (yipppeee), and i don't have to worry about shitting out my insides (yes!) at school in front of my students.
4. i know this isn't a good reason, but it doesn't hurt that you lose some weight through the cleanse -- i know you gain at least half of it back, but it'll be a good jump start to tone up.
what am i not looking forward to?
- not eating! i'm gonna try to do ten days. but we'll see how it goes day by day. last time i did seven, and by the time i hit day seven, i was ready to eat anything. but supposedly the toxins don't really start movin out your body til day 8...
- laxative tea -- the one i bought's called "smooth move" -- wahhhoo! it makes your stomach cramp in the middle of the night ( you take it before you sleep); and your alarm in the morning ends up being your need to do a #2.
- and mostly, the salt enema: you gotta down a jug of water with a heaping spoon of sea salt to release all your insides in the morning. gotta be the nastiest thing i've drank.
- not eating!
there's plenty of journals out there of folks who've done the master cleanse. this one's pretty detailed and funny. don't know if i'm gonna post pics of myself in a bikini, but i will try to document the different ebbs of emotion and cravings, and maybe even some toilet descriptions, in the next week or so.
alright, my smooth move tea has just finished brewing. cheers to clean intestines!!!!
