And Liver Flush #5
Okay, life has it's way with us all. Grin I have been eating more and more raw foods with some pretty good results since the last MC and also did two more liver flushes. The one thing I have been able to be consistant about is drinking up to a quart of Rejuvelac(I started with 1/4 cup per day and worked up) almost every day. I cannot give it a bigger rave - it is making elimination a new positive experience. However, a trip to visit an ill family member and emotional stress has worn me down, I am on the border of getting sick/cold/flu... and I want strength and health.. so rather than force myself to do another liver flush for which I was already prepping, I decided to do another Master Cleanse instead. I can do the flush at the end, if the situation is supportive. I became further inspired while looking up natural healing of fibroids for a friend and found that some women had great reduction of symptoms after doing even a ten day MC. I certainly have benefited in that area by my cleanses. I will do at least ten days, maybe 21 days, and if circumstances permit, perhaps a full 30 days this time. I might need to cut it short for family reasons. I have had coffee a few times since the last MC, a few sugary desserts, and plenty of sweet fruit.. but overall, I have been eating far better than before my first cleanse and I have easily maintainted the weight loss - all but one pound for a net of 33 pounds. For that I am very grateful. I have lots of extra weight to lose, so no worries about going too long or too far with this for me, not at present. I will take pictures of my face from time to time, but will not do the tongue pics.. they even gross me out, now. So, I begin tonight with the Smooth Move tea - February 17, 2005.
Friday - Day 1: Smooth Move last night and the Salt Water Flush today. I feel the MC magic already. I feel centered, calm and so positively hopeful. I know this idea of magic is in my head, but I need it and will take it, too. - Okay, so I started off a bit happy.. forgive me. I want to eat. I do. I want to eat now. Oranges, crusty bread and chicken soup. I do, I want to eat. Otherwise the body loves this - skin is calmer, tummy happily gurgling along, already passing the normal butt pee... I did have 32 oz of fresh carrot juice last night for dinner.. helped with avoiding detox stuff. I am not myself today.. kinda spacy, slept alot, foggy headed and in case you missed it... I want to eat. sigh
32 oz SWF, 30 oz water, 10 lemonades, 16 oz Lax tea
Saturday - Day 2: Sleepy in the extreme. Cannot do a thing.. feel achey and sore. WANT TO EAT!
32 oz SWF, 90 oz water, 10 lemonades, 16 oz lax tea
Sunday - Day 3: Head is full of crap, very achey, deeply fatigued, have to rest some more. Later: Major detoxing going on, blech, still unwell. Don't feel well enough to even care that I am not eating.
32 oz SWF, 6 lemonades, 120 oz water, 16 oz lax tea
Monday - Day 4: Feeling much better today. Head is lighter, as are emotions - and I don't even care about food. Yay!! Went for a lovely walk.
32 oz SWF, 90 oz water, 10 lemonades, 16 oz lax tea
Tuesday - Day 5: I am down two pounds. Still feeling okay. Will go for another walk today - it is gorgeous outside. Most of the day was fine.. until pressure in the liver area developed and continued for a few hours tonight.
32 oz SWF, 120 oz water, 10 lemonades, 16 oz lax tea
Wednesday - Day 6: I passed a nice sized gall stone! No wonder the pressure last night. I will absolutely do the liver flush after this cleanse. Nice walk, skipped the SWF to go walking, had the tea instead. It was a pleasure to move my body, not a strain. I also noticed I look pretty good today, too, so I took pictures. My skin is smoother, all bumps are cleared up or healing.. it feels soft, too. I will be very proud of myself if I can do four more days... my head is not in the place it was the last two cleanses. And I am grateful I have stuck with it this long. As is my body, I am sure.
16 oz lax tea, 6 lemonades, 90 oz water
Thursday - Day 7: Physically I am fine, emotionally I am kinda raw - mom's illness and pain is uppermost on my mind. I still look marvelous.
32 oz SWF, 150 oz water, 10 lemonades, 32 oz mint tea, 16 oz lax tea
Friday - Day 8: I look great and today was not bad. Eager for this to be over and to be back to eating.
32 oz SWF, 90 oz water, 6 lemonades, 32 oz mint tea, 16 oz laxative tea
Saturday - Day 9: I am down another two pounds, total 4 pounds for this cleanse - I think upping the water has helped. I am retaining water pre-period I think. Finally I understand how I could have done two previous cleanses for 21 days or more... yesterday I was really scratching my head. This has been a real challenge.
16 oz lax tea, 4 lemonades, 90 oz water, 16oz lax tea
Sunday - Day 10: I am down yet another two pounds, total 6 pounds for this cleanse. I went to the grocery store to get produce for morning juice and decided while there to do a liver flush tonight. I have not done them the last night of the cleanse before, so this will be new. And I am going to use fresh apple juice and fresh grapefruit juice for a change, too.
32 oz SWF, 2 lemonades, 60 oz water
Monday - Liver Flush results: I passed about 30 teeny 'stones' they had no crust and mushed right away on my fingers... I am doing the SWF now to make sure all are out, then rejuvelac to reestablish the probiotics... and then veggie juice!!! I had to shop for a bunch of good food, already. I missed eating so much. grin Good cleanse, though rough.
