Hi Evo and welcome! You seem to be on the right track to achieve your personal goals! :) You won't find a more supportive bunch of people than there are in this forum!! Best of luck!

Wow it sounds like you are doing great with being active through the cleanse. I kinda hulled myself up in my house for the first few days cause I was so tired, I couldn't imagine going to the beach lol. Well good luck with that, and I'm sure you will be able to resist the beer lol.
 
Thanks for the welcome, Bruce! I really love the forum so far- so much great advice and the people are awesome!

Lisa- I definitely laid in bed for the first 2 days and most of the 3rd- I guess that's why I felt the need to finally do something the 3rd day!I just laid at the beach and studied today- no beer for me!! :D
 
Thanks, Cannon! The cleanse does seem pretty tough, but I'm really getting used to not having anything solid- It's strange, but you just have to NOT think about it!

The Saltwater flush this morning wasn't painful at all... I'm really not sure why it would be so painful for other people, but not painful for me. Anyway, it seems to be doing it's job, so that's what matters most! Regular water tastes a bit strange... I've really gotten used to my lemonade drink! My tongue is starting to get that filmy yellowish-white tint on it. Weird!

I made the mistake of telling one of my friends today about the cleanse... I told her that I was down to 139 this morning and she asked what I was doing, so I told her. I told her I was 145 when I started the cleanse, and I should gain some water weight when I come off of it, but she went in on telling me that I shouldn't do fad diets and all this other stuff... I kept trying to tell her it wasn't a fad diet- it's a cleanse, but I wasn't getting through :p My other friend was really interested in it though, and was asking what I did on it. That made me feel good, because I needed support and she understood :) Plus, she tried the lemonade and liked it! :D Anyway, off to stretch and study more!
 
Thats the 2 basic reactions I get from people I tell about the cleanse, though, luckily no one has seriously tried to talk me out of it, just look really doubtful and suspicious. They get better when on day 8 or 9 you feel great, your skin is cleared up, and you aren't hungry....that's when they will start asking you about the cleanse in a more serious way lol.
 
I didn't make it through yesterday! I ran out of lemons and when I got hungry I started with some soup, then I ate cereal because I was still hungry (at least it was high-fiber!) :p I hate going to the grocery store! I know I really messed with my metabolism by not going the full 10 days- I'm so mad at myself! My body did NOT feel good after I ate though- I felt even more tired and I couldn't get to sleep last night. I've always had a problem with insomnia, and I've been getting to sleep in no time on the cleanse! Anyway, I've got so much homework to do. I couldn't concentrate on it yesterday, so today I'm going to have to focus and get it done! Thanks again for your support, Lisa! I think I'm going to try to cleanse again next month- this time I'll buy waayyy more lemons though :p

I decided to make Sunday my weigh-in day, so here it is:
Weight: 143.0
Body fat: 27.4%
H20: 52.9%
BMR: 1446
Muscle Mass: 35.5%

Not much of a change, but I'm feeling ok today. Got to go work on this homework!!! :drooling:
 
Hey thats ok, I know of 2 people who it took them 3 tries to actually go the whole 10 days. Next month I'm sure you will do better. I know what you mean about the lemons lol, I had to go to the store 4 times to re-stock on them. You go through sooo many!!!

Good luck with your homework :)
 
Well, I bought 24 lemons at the grocery store yesterday because I want to keep drinking the lemonade, even while I'm eating. At least it will hunger pangs at bay while I work on school. :p I also got a bunch of grapefruits because they supposedly increase circulation, which helps rid cellulite. I can't wait to be done with school!! Then I can spend all my time exercising! 'Til I find a job anyway...
