Day 2 of this Detox Thing

Today I went to work and made it through the day not hungry at all.
I had a revelation today as well. I was praying to God asking him to help me through this cleanse, and it came to me. Somewhere in the world, possibly somewhere in my neighborhood, somewhere out there. Someone didnt get a drink of water, nor did that have food today. So I was thankful that at least I did have something to wash down. Even if it wasnt solid food.
As strange as that may sound. I found comfort in that.



Last night was not good. I took the Laxative Tea and it rumbled my stomach alllllllllllll night long, but nothing came out. I tossed and turned, got up tried to go, tossed turned got up, tried to go, the pain was excruciating. My stomach was fighting a battle that it was determined to win. Its like my stomach didnt want to let go, and I wanted what ever it was out.

Luckily when the alarm finally sounded at 6AM I felt a jolt almost as if it timed my wake up to a T, I said ok this is it, but then I got worried, I was thinking oh no how long is this going to last, am I going to be late for work, but to my surprise it was 2 smooth releases and it was over...LOL
I went to look at the label on the Tea and it was a slow working laxative tea, it said "take at night before bedtime for morning relief"...
What happened to the in between RELIEF time?
Wish it would of put a warning letting you know that you would be up all night rumbling =(


Tomorrow I will do the Sea Salt Saline Cleanse. I'm so afraid of that. I dont want my stomach falling out......

Until tomorrow folks..............

My Detox Journal-Day 1

I've decided to Detox. I went back and forth with different one's I wanted to try doing some research on the Internet, dont do this one, dont do that one, do I eat salad for 10 days, do I eat beans, do I eat cabbage, and finally decided to try the Master Cleanse Lemonade diet. I've read were alot of Celebrities have done this for quick weight loss. So I said I'll try it. I should of detoxed before I started working out regularly, but its better late than never. I'm not going the full 10 days. I'm hoping that I make it to 7days........ Well I'm actually hoping I make it to 3...LOL

I went to the farmer's market last night, and got myself the proper ingredients.
Lemons, cayenne pepper, Distilled water, and Maple B Syrup.
The farmer's market that I went to didnt have the Maple B syrup, so I decided to hit the regular grocery store, and on my way passed by another farmer's market that I didnt know was closing and went in and got like 30 lemons for $2. I came home and mixed a half a gallon of it. Its an acquired taste. The flavor of the syrup is non existent.....The best way to describe it is lemon water with no taste with a little kick to it. The pepper gives your throat a slight sting.

I woke up today excited about the cleanse, but on my way to work, I guess my stomach could tell something new was about to go down because on the way I developed a stomach ache. None the less I got to work and started to drink it.
I felt fine up until 12 pm, I think my stomach was in shock, like ok H-E-L-L-O?, we're a little empty, and it doesnt help that the breakroom is near my desk. So I could smell people heating up their food, but I remained strong.
I just drank some more. That took care of it for a little while, then I felt the rumble. Which was a surprise because there was nothing in there but liquid. I got up to go to the bathroom and could of sworn I started seeing stars. I walked slow hoping I wouldnt pass out. I made it thank God.



I managed to drink 3, 20 oz glasses of it today, so that's pretty good. The diet requires 6-12,
10 oz glasses.
I just took my laxative tea. They tell you to take Sea Salt or Tea so it can make you go to the restroom since your not getting any fiber with the cleanse.

Now I'm just waiting on the Tea to take effect.
I'll update you guys tomorrow.
Pray for me!!
