Master cleanse / lemonade diet - day 9

Ok today is Day 9 WOW! I did my swf a little after 8am. I was moving slow this morning. Think I stayed up too late last night. The bad thing is I was trying to rush drinking the salt water. I stopped drinking to brush my teeth and then went back to the water I had about 1 cup left at the time. Gross alert! When I went back to drinking the salt water I vomited. Of course it was just water but that threw off my day even more. So I didn't start drinking my lemonade until about 10:30 am once I felt my stomach was settled. It's almost 1pm and I have only had 1.5 cups of lemonade. I think this will hinder me from reaching 11-12 glasses today. At least I'm not hungry and I've been tempted all morning. Poundcake in the breakroom, pumpkin bars in the news room... I just want to scream! LOL no really I'm fine. I'll check back later ant tell you how it's going.
Well I ended my day drinking my 10th cup of lemonade! So I did catch up. I again had senna tea just before bed! Well tomorrow is the last day and I am now thinking about the process of coming off the cleanse. I went to the grocery store and bought a bag of oranges and ingredients to make a vegetable soup. The first day after the cleanse you are instructed to drink fresh squeezed orange juice. Then later in the day eat oranges. So I'm prepared for that. I'll talk more about the veggie soup tomorrow!

Master cleanse / lemonade diet - day 8

Day 8 and two more days to go!!! I woke up at about 7:20 am because the senna tea was working from last night. I had my swf  and was having my first lemonade in the 9 o'clock hour. I realized you use a whole lot of water with this diet/detox. I need to go refill my four of my five gallons tomorrow. Today I am again prepared to be out all day. My thermos is filled with enough mixture to make 8 lemonades. I'm still pushing for 10 glasses. I'll be back later!
So it's about 11:30 pm now. Today went smoothly. I had a break in my day where I had a chance to relax and do some reading. I had six glasses of lemonade by 4pm. While at my night job I took  advantage of down time to make a lemonade so at about 6 pm I had two and at 8:15 I had another two. When I got home I had another lemonade just before I had my senna tea. So I that was a total of 11 lemonades today. I'm feeling good and thinking about the steps to coming off the liquid and moving back to solid food. I'm glad that I haven't been real hungry but I am missing food. The most annoying part of the diet/detox is having to use the bathroom so frequently. Well I'm saying goodnight now. Talk to you on day 9!

The Master Cleanse/ Lemonade Diet- Intro

Hi My Name is Angela and I am doing the Master Cleanse aka the Lemonade Diet. This is my second time doing the cleanse. I found it to be very effective as a detox and for weight loss the first time (over a year ago) I lost 12 pounds.
Recently I have been feeling sluggish and my weight has been creeping upward. I stepped on the scale the other day and thought "OMG; I gotta do something about that." I have the urge to snack more often than I should and especially at night. My goal is to flush my system on the unhealthy things I have been eating, to jump start my body into a healthier state, and to lose weight. Post cleanse I plan to eat a healthier diet and maintain a healthier state of mind.

I have been reading the book titled "The Complete Master Cleanse: A Step-by-Step Guide to Maximizing the Benefits of The Lemonade Diet" by Tom Woloshyn, this is my Guide. The Lemonade diet is about will power and self control...I'm up for the Challenge!

I have been checking out other people's blogs and notice that a lot of people are mixing all ingredients into a gallon jug and trying to drink the lemonade after cayenne pepper has been sitting in it all day and this makes the lemonade extremely Hot.
If you choose to do the Master Cleanse I strongly urge you to try to make your lemonade fresh each time you drink it. If you cannot mix it fresh mix the lemon juice with maple syrup (equal parts of each) in a thermos or dark container and keep it cool. Then mix your cayenne pepper and water in a glass with the mixture when you are ready to drink it.

Ingredients
2 tablespoons of fresh squeezed lemon juice ( preferably organic, but I'm using regular lemons)
2 tablespoons of organic Maple syrup ( I bought 1 quart jug at Home Economist Market)
1/10 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
Add it all to 10 oz of pure water ( I am using Reverse Osmosis water)
