Today is my day 10 on this, and i think i’m going to go a bit longer. I was only doing the tea twice a day, but i still get crampy off and on during the day. I just don’t feel i’m where It’s suppose to get me on here, so tomorrow i’m doing a salt water flush. I’m just going to feel it out and let my body tell me when i’m done. Right now, it’s telling me i need to do this longer. did anybody ever get good results for doing the tea and not salt water in the morning?
Blue eyes and KathKath-You are saying the exact same thing, lol. There is nothing to argue about, and neither of you have an “Imposter Book”! 2 T. of juice, plus 2 T. of syrup equals 4 T…same thing as 1/4 of a cup…same thing as 2 oz. Now if you add 8 oz. water to this, you get 10 oz. If you put it in a 10 oz. glass and fill it up, you are still adding 8 oz. (or 1 cup) of water. Just a little simple math, lol.
I am on day 2 of my cleanse, and the only thing I’m not liking is the salt water. It is kind of hard to get down, but bearable. My boyfriend couldn’t tolerate it, so he’s doing the tea twice a day. (He’s a big tea drinker already.) I have also realized that I need to be home for a couple hours and not go out after the salt water flush…those of you who have done it know exactly what I’m talking about. It is so nice that I have support though, as I don’t know if I’d make it by myself. My boyfriend is doing it with me, and I just learned a co-worker just finished her’s, and she’s been very supportive! How is everyone else doing?
Shutter Nutter-The book actually says to use “medium hot” water but you can drink it cold if preferred. I actually drink it cold because drinking warm lemonade seems too foreign for me.
Day 13 for me! I felt really great today during the day. Just getting kinda tired now, since I went to bed too late last night and had to get up early.
But.. last night I went to a party where there was (cooked) pizza! OMG I was drooling! And… I am vegan! I was SO ready to just have some! But I persisted with my LA and just stayed far away from the pizza.
So, ever since last night, I have been having tremendous cravings.. I am not sure if it’s because of the cravings or not that I am thinking about breaking the MC. I think I really DO know that is the case. I am thinking that I should at least continue on through tomorrow.
I guess I just want to eat now! HA! I know I will eat on Friday, so am trying to stick it out until Monday or Tues. BUT my cravings are so intense now..
I’d like to lose a little more weight, too. Grrr!
What would everyone else do in this case?
I am really in need of support too!! This is really hard!! I’m nearing the end of day three and I can’t fathom another week of this. How do you do it?! I haven’t cheated and I won’t as long as I’m spending so much money on it. I want to do it properly. I did drink about 2 T. of maple syrup. Straight. Why? I don’t know…maybe it is because I need something that tastes different. I think I might go with organic limes tomorrow instead just as a pleasant change. The book says you can use either.
I also think I might stop the SWF in the AM, or maybe just do it every other day. Would that work? All that is coming out is neon yellow liquid!!
I don’t know what to tell you, Shutter Nutter, but good luck!! Maybe we can be support buddies for each other?
Day 14
Still hanging in there! I am glad that I decided to continue on another day. I know it was just my cravings that were driving me to stop the cleanse. I was craving cooked food and total junk food, too. So, I do think that if I had ended the clease yesterday I may have binged on the wrong kind of food!
Anyway.. I will definitely continue on today and tomorrow, then see about Tuesday.
I also know that I am married to my scale! I guess I am just afraid that if I do NOT weigh myself, the scale will start going in the wrong direction again.
I am also kinda afraid that once I do start eating again, the scale will go in the wrong direction! So.. weighing myself daily is a way to keep me in check. If the scale goes up, I adjust my food accordingly..
Happy to say that the scale was down a tiny bit this morning! I’d like to get a little bit further away from the 140’s though, before ending the cleanse.
