Its day 3 , I only have 4 more days left!!! wow. right now 4 days seems like a month.
So today has been good. The morning are always the best, I feel really good. But then the afternoons have been hard, I get sluggish and start thinking about solid food.
I just got some wheat grass capsules to add a little protein and more antioxidants.
I am starting to think about food differently. Usually when I am out running errands I will get a little hungry and think that I need to eat something asap so I end up getting fast food . Then I get sick from eating it. But now I know I can wait to get home and make something. Its all mental, this cleanse is all mental. If I think positive , I can do it. When I get down , I want to quite.
My dad is ready to start the cleanse, Or at least he thinks he is. He called today and said he got some grade A maple syrup and he will get bottle of Lemon juice.....WRONG!!!
He just got a little too excited.
But I am really excited for him to do the cleanse.
I will report back soon

more lessons learned
Geez I cant seem to be doing anything right
This afternoon and evening was pretty hard for me. I was starting to get hungry and I was drinking my lemonade every hour and a half. I was researching online about the master cleanse...(by the way, there is so many crazy people on youtube) and I realized I was following the first edition of the cleanse. There has been a revised edition that is much more tolerable.
There is more knowledge on the science of nutrition now than there was 50 years ago. And I just happen to be following the guide from 50 years ago. SOOOO I downloaded the updated guide and that was really helpful. I defiantly should have read this one before starting but I am about to start day three and NOT starting over from the begining.
With that being said, things have changed. The updated guide says for first time cleansers to do 3-10 days, So I am going to commit to 7 days of the cleanse. My original goal was 10 days, So I dont feel too bad about cutting out three days. It also says I can have herbal tea (decaf only) mixed with the lemonade. This is exciting, because drinking the same drink every hour or so gets really boring. If only they approved vodka...jk ... I dont know why I always make vodka jokes. anywhoo. I was really starting to get worried today and now I feel much better.
I have learned something everyday so far haha . Lets see how stupid I am tomorrow..??
Just kidding. I am going to keep thinking positive through this whole process.
So now I have 5 days left..
YES WE CAN!!!!!

Day 2
Its day 2 and I feel really good. I went to bed around 9:30pm , which is early for me. I woke up feeling great.
We decided that it was not a good time for Dale to do the cleanse.
It cost $30 /day for 2 people to do the cleanse.
The organic lemons and grade b maple syrup is expensive.
I didn't think about how much everything would cost. My bad.
For more info on the Master Cleanse check out the website.
http://mastercleansesecrets.com/
My purpose of doing the cleanse is to cleanse out all the waste from my body. I feel like I am getting a fresh start.
Also, I didn't realize how much time and effort I put into eating. I am still making all of Cruz's meals and snack ( hardest part for me) but I feel less stressed. I think I used to panic when it comes to eating or meals. I can never make up my mind what to eat and if its good for me or not. So its nice to get a break. And I am putting that time and effort in to other things now. I have been cleaning , reading ( adult books and kids book to Cruz) , organizing, etc.
That's all for now.
I am starting to get hungry so its time for more lemonade.

Day one of the Master Cleanser
A long Day,
My birthday.
Today Dale and I started the Master Cleanse. We are doing it for 10 days. And day one has been a long one.
The hardest part is FOOD IS EVERYWHERE!
I still, of course, have to feed Cruz and its so hard when I am cutting an apple to not take a bite.
Its not that we are starving , its that eating food is a habit. We do it when we are bored, to be social, etc.
Dale is really mad because he wants to eat solids. Sorry Dale, Just 9 more days. :)
I hope we can make it.
We are weighing ourselves at the gym to make sure we aren't loosing weight.
Here's what we are drinking
2 tablespoons Organic Lemon juice
2 tablespoons grade B maple syrup
1/8 Cayenne Pepper
10 oz water
*Do not try this with out studying it before hand. There is a lot more to it than just drinking the lemonade everyday.

Cruz : " ni papa"
mom: " Goodnight Nommy"
Cruz: "ni money"
mom: " Goodnight Dee dee"
Cruz: "ni dee dee"
Cruz: "ni dub" ( and then he does the rest on his own)
"ni natty"
"ni dadid"
" ni betsy"
" ni bootie"
"ni riber"
"ni geega"
" ni cardy"
" ni coach"

he always has his jeans rolled up and he loves to fly in the air.
These pictures are from New Years day.
