2nd MC for me.

jvonhaugg · **Posted:** Mon Jul 21, 2014 3:55 am

My last MC was a major fail! I didn't do it right. So when my body absorbed the SWF the 4th day I got super sick. Lesson learned and moving forward. Today is Monday, start of all diets.

I began with Smooth Move tea last night. I've been constipated because my epic fail, but this morning things began to move. Such a relief! I'm doing a day of orange juice - freshly made and then I'll move to lemonade tomorrow. I need to continue hight water intake because I am still feeling a little effects of the salt in my system.

At this point I don't see myself doing SWF. I'm scared. Plus I've done a lot of reading and self test that the body eliminates toxins during a fast pretty good. I'll continue the tea, unless it cramps me up. It has in the past.... :?:

So without further adieu. I'm headed out to weed my front flower bed and enjoy the morning.

Good luck to all those that follow me and those that strive out on their own!

This Evening:
Well, I did pretty good. I was super busy all day doing yard work. Drank tons of water. Kept it pretty good. Smooth move helped me dump almost a pound so I'm thrilled. My funny husband rewarded the kids by taking all of us to Sonic. Hard, but not too hard. My own cooking is healthier and so much harder to say no to. Tater tots wasn't as bad as zucchini was.

Day 1 of Lemonade here I come. Not eating summer dinners is going to be so hard. But I'm willing to try! :lol:

Hey jvohaugg - Sorry to hear about your health afterwards....Don't stress over the previous attempt, you will do even better this time around knowing what not to do now. I'm glad to have read your thoughts on the salt water intake...I am on day 5 and I haven't done the salt water and am not planning on to. I feel that the Smooth reliever tea was good enough for me. Hopefully that's all you will need and not have to go through the sickness again. Good luck with your MC!

I'm on day 3 and I haven't done the SWF either. I just don't think it's worth the stress on my body... and what if it doesn't work? I am very sensitive to salt so I would be blown up and hypertensive. An epsom salt bath or even foot bath is one of the best ways to remove toxins from your body... and way more fun!!!

Thats great... you know your body best so if its not for you, then there are so many other ways to get the same results. Thats a great idea, I might actually give that a try

Thank you and Goodluck!

Today was fun for a first day. I woke up with a start I had forgotten something...turned out it was registering for school...oh that's all. I juiced my first glass of lemonade and it was great. I juice a full lemon in a electric juicer with peals on....1.5 TB of maple and stir it up. Then I pour about a shot glass worth into a small glass. Add the Cayenne to it and throw it back. Oh wow! Hot spiciness melts into lemon sweetness. Yummy!
Did well today. No solids! We did have leftover night so I wasn't so tempted with new food. I was talking to my mom who is also MCing right now, about the cayenne...Has anyone had the ring of fire yet? Oh my!!! I had been putting too much pepper in my shots worth. But she mentioned using coconut oil on the "back door" and it soothes it right away. I got to pick me up some. For now I cut back so I don't have the ring of fire, but still get a good dose. I'm happy with my energy levels too. I don't feel confused or frustrated. I look forward to tomorrow!!! :mrgreen:

Oh I almost forgot...I have dropped 2 pounds!!! Happy dance

That great! Keep it up. I love the spiciness too, but haven't experienced the ring of fire haha That is a clever name. Good luck on your remaining days!

Day 3

I'm happy that I'm on day 3. It seems this is the day that is the hardest for me to reach. I'm trying to do this MC right. Yesterday was hard. We had a cookout at church and I brought food to share....but when the eating line was starting I kept my seat. I have medical professionals in my group of friends so I had to be careful not to say too much but be honest. "I'm on a cleanse and I'm going one day at a time." They seem to buy that. But from their motherly looks I couldn't discuss it for they be nah sayers. :roll:

Oh well!

It's after noon here so I'm enjoying my 3 elixir of the day. I woke up this morning with cramps from the smooth move. Yuck!!! But amazingly enough water helped relieve the cramps so I'll see if that helps in future. Yesterday, Day 2, I sampled chips and dip and that kept me from loosing the 2lb I was expecting. I was also not drinking enough water. So today I'm bumping up on my water intake. I've been busy cleaning my house. I had so much energy this morning at 5 am...but I went back to bed. I just didn't want to clean bathrooms at 6 am. Sorry. So now I am. (well after my break

)

Oh, note: I am straining my lemonade now. Too much pulp. It makes my lemonade smooth.

Ease in: 166.6
Day 1: 163.0
Day 2: 161.0
Day 3: 160.0 :!:

Day 5
Oh wow!!! Oh Wow! Day 5, it's hard to believe I'm here. It has been a hard road. Full of temptations. And I've not always been the better one and not fall. But I'm keep it going. Yesterday, I had a home church group over...It's a every 2 week event. Well last night everyone brought breakfast. My husband made waffles. He had made them for the family 2 other times, but I have yet to try them. So I tried them. :oops:

They were good. I also tried a little of the casseroles. So am I restarted to day 1 :?:

yah - cleansing wise. Weight wise I didn't loose anything, but I have gained anything either. I do not say cheating is good. I wish I had been stronger, but I wasn't. Last night was 2nd gathering of friends with food and tonight is the 3rd. Then a week+ of just MC. Tonight I'm going to stay to MC. I didn't get sick when I cheated, but I drank plenty of OJ.

So confession over. Yesterday I had horrible leg and lower back cramps. I was surprised, but I didn't take any pain meds. I took a nap and it helped. (when I ate I wasn't in pain - healing crisis over) After eating I took oxy powder to help get the food out and this morning I'm drinking smooth move. I'll drink more smooth move tonight and hopefully I'll be back on track for weight loss. It still could take me until end of next week to reach my goal.

My goal is to go beyond next weekend at least. I'd love to get to my Ultimate weight goal of 140 by then, but I don't know that it will. I'll MC and see! :lol:
