Today was rough! First as I mentioned this morning things were horrible in the female and eliminating department. Finally I think I the menstrual pain took over and won the competition for which cramps hurt worst. I really must have not been thinking when I decided now was the time to fast. Note to females: fast once you finish your period!
The lemonade was quite delightful. I have always liked lemon juice and water. I am the annoying customer, whom I hated when I use to serve, who always asks for tons and tons of lemons. The maple syrup part took some getting use to, but surprisingly i liked the spice of the cayenne pepper.
Now you might have never heard of this master cleans diet and you are probably scratching you head reading this and asking why? So for you here is a link that will answer all your questions: http://www.mastercleanser.com/
Now that we all are on the same page as far as knowing what I am talking about and what its about back to the day one report.
Finally somehow between cramps I made my first glass of juice. I was not hungry at all because of the pain, but I thought perhaps it would help. With no suck luck I bit the bullet and got myself together.
Today’s accomplishments:
- Washed dishes 50 times (lemon squeeze thing, glasses, knife for cutting lemon, measuring cup, etc.)
- Trip to the store to buy toilet paper and other necessities
- Straitened up apt.
- 5 o’clock softball meeting
- Lemonade making, lemonade making, and more lemonade making
- Off to the parents to visit and borrow their washer and dryer
- Short run around my parents neighborhood with my sisters dog
Which brings me to now. I’m still at my parents. I am drop dead tired. I’m even actually glad that David went out tonight since when I get home he will not be there. Some relaxing ‘me’ time in the bath and in front of the tube sounds so nice. Not to mention that I will have the bed all to myself for a few hours ^.^ I love when I can sprawl out in my sleep.
I was so ready to give up today. Not only does menstruation cause horrid cramps that I can do nothing about at the moment, but I swear I was not craving as many different foods a few days ago when I started my first fast. The sound and comforting idea of pizza was nearly enough for me to call it quits right here and now. As well as a little bit of anxiety I have for the fact that tomorrow is the first softball practice and next Sunday is our first game. I’m pretty nervous that I wont have the energy.
But I pushed past all these negative thoughts and kept thinking about the reasons I am doing this in the first place. Tomorrow I plan to make a list on here of all the reasons why so that I have them posted somewhere to refer back to.
As for now all I can think about is lying down and closing my eyes. My gosh I am beat!

Home sweet home. I wanted to note a few other things before I ventured off to a meeting with the sand man.
Starting this evening I begun to experience the coated tounge part of this whole thing. I was actually surprised because I thought this didn’t happen until after the first day. But perhaps it has something to do with the fact that I completed 3 days of the juice fast and only ate a small amount yesterday. At any rate its pretty annoying and a gross feeling. Like I have this gross cotton mouth, yuck!
another side note. I am not taking the laxative tea tonight as suggested. I want to hold off on that crazy tea until my cramps have subsided a bit from menstruation. Hopefully the salt watter flush goes as planed so I don’t get all backed up.
Now Finally I’m off to bed!
