Day 3 – The Master Cleanse
Thursday, May 7, 2009 23:07My Master Cleanse - Day 3
Wow day 3 already! I woke up this morning expecting to feel lousy (after all I've eaten nothing for 2 days now - that's a first for me) but actually I feel pretty good.
I feel much less bloated than I did at the start and I actually seem to have quite a bit more energy.
Making breakfast for my daughter was still tough though. Especially as I had a glass of water with Psyllium Husk (yuk!), a glass of lemonade (I'm really getting a bit fed up with the taste of this now) followed by a glass of water with wheatgrass (an even bigger yuk - but at least it's green).
Lunchtime - that's not funny - I do not class a glass of lemonade as lunch - but hey ho it certainly seems to be doing the trick.
One other positive side effect of the Master Cleanse that I have noticed is that my skin has started to clear up. I have, for some time now, suffered from a form of acne called Rosascea and, although I have tried many things to clear it up this is the first thing that has made any difference. To me this probably means as much as losing some weight!
It's nearly time to head off home now and I haven't found it quite so hard to stick to the diet today. I seem to be thinking less about food than I was yesterday. For the first time I actually think I might be able to see this lemonade diet through.
Tonight will be tough though as I am playing in a darts competition (sad I know - but hey I've been playing since I was 14 - that's a long time) and usually I have a few beers on a darts night. But not tonight, I am determined to stick to this.
Ok - just got back from darts -I won, by the way - I just seemed to have so much more focus and maybe laying off the beer helped a bit. I did find it very hard when my mates were swilling ale not to join in but somehow I managed it. This has to be the hardest bit so far.
