The end of day 2

Today was fine. I'm kind of moody and I've been hungry all day. I lost one pound though :) on to the sick herbal tea now....


Day 4

Yesterday was terrible. I was so very very ornery and starving...still. I had a mild headache all day that was almost unbearable last night. When I woke up this morning, it was gone, thankfully. this time around is so different from the last time. Last time I slept so good all night long, had great energy,and was in a great mood. This time has been really hard. It's hard enough to not have eaten for 4 days and not see one pound lost. I was unable to do the salt water flush yesterday morning because my kids had a play date (shucks) but I think that's the reason that I feel so nauseated today. Trying to drink salt water when you're already nauseated is a joke. after 3 swallows I about lost it, but was able to chug 10 more gulps. I only need about 20 more gulps to be done. This is DEFINITELY the hardest part. You can probably tell that my disposition is much different from the last cleanse... I told Zack that if I was still being as mean and ornery as I have been, then I would stop.

Phase 2: The Master Cleanse

Hello everyone, I know that I was really bad at blogging about my last adventure, and I hope to be better this time. By nightfall I'm exhausted and am asleep within 3 minutes.
My measurements today, January 16th, 2012 The last adventure was 4 1/2 months ago.
Weight: 195 (that's 10 lbs still off!!!)
Waist: 43" (Still less!)
Hips/Butt: 45 1/2" (yes, still less)

I don't really care about measuring my thighs, because I know they will get smaller too.
So this morning, I did the salt water flush. It was hard to get it down, and I almost lost it. As I gagged, my sweet Ryker looked at me with a concerned face and said "Mommy...?" But I got it down, all of it. About an hour later, the inevitable happened..then again, then again, then again... about 5 times. I am SOO grateful to Zack's cousin Maridee who suggested that I put the cayenne pepper into capsules because this would be completely miserable without that tip. The Drink is just as gross as I remember it being last time, but when Ryker finds it, he guzzles it. He loves it.
I'm pretty hungry today. A lot I'm sure is in my head as I fix around 5 meals a day. I told Zack that if he wasn't going to do this with me then he'll have to be in charge of making the meals. He has done great so far.
Tonight, I will finish out the day with the cardboard tasting herbal laxative tea. I'm looking VERY forward to my glowing skin, great mood, super flat tummy and of course the pounds that have no choice but to melt off. My goal this time is to cleanse until I've dropped 20 pounds... and if not, 10 days (the usual time) will be great, dropping 12-14 pounds.
Thank you to my followers, and especially my cousin Alaina for encouraging me to do this again. I'm really looking forward to getting my body back after 4 years of babies.
I'm really happy to know that the weight I lost has stayed off. I have changed nothing about my diet, and I still don't exercise (like normal people, not moms). Therefore, I contribute this weight to stress!

Please keep me motivated! I can do it and I will feel great while I do it as long as I drink, drink, drink, drink! Love ya!
