DAY 3 draft weight 57.1 kilos more than 7 hours sleep last night, which is miraculous for me (age 57). No senna last night. SWF at 7:15, "flushing" for the next hour and a half (sigh) Energy 2 Mood 4 lemonade 7 takes an effort to drink water ...urine clear when I have to go, so I'm keeping dehydration at bay. Unfortunately, felt and looked bloated from morning through the afternoon. Bleah!
This being the dreaded DAY 3, when half the world quits the Cleanse, I know I have to psych myself up for the long haul. So I read posts by Greybeard and Abbey Lee (both are successful Cleansers who write good journals here). Sat down and had a read of Glickman's books to keep me focused.
Eyes on the prize, staying the course. Can't believe this (numero cinco) is the first time I'm doing the cleanse in the presence of my husband (he is supportive, but he has never fasted and he eats like a horse). But I'm determined to get through it. If I can last 10 days, I may just go until tongue pinks out. Never done more than 15 days of the lemonade, but this might be the time I do the long haul and really go for the pink tongue. I've never done less than 10 days, and I always take a nice long ease-out. But that whole thing about the coated tongue.... ain't stayed the course through that. Super afraid of that taking more than a month. I'm due back in HK in a couple of weeks, and I want to enjoy some of that food!
Smells still bug me. Not that they make me want to eat anything (that's caused by the sight of food, like the half watermelon in the fridge, and the peanuts in the pantry). Garlic and garbage cut through me and disgust me.
Keeping busy on my cleaning. Oh, gawd, 7 days to go. Day 3 never a fave.
