I ended up drinking 7 of the "lemonades" yesterday, down 1 from 8 before. I try to drink one every 2 hours, which really is easy to do, and I find helps keep my appetite in check. The headache I had after Day 1 is gone, and other than a few cravings yesterday afternoon, it's been rather easy!
It's an interesting thing about cravings: it's not so much that you are HUNGRY, as it is a psychological event. The test, they say, is that if you desire something such as a hamburger and fries, and then you ask yourself if you would have the SAME desire of a salad and an apple, and DON'T, then it is a craving, and not hunger.
NOT to sound gross, but I HAVE noticed slight more discharge from my sinuses, which I guess is good, maybe something is starting to happen here. My tongue has also started to change color a little to a whitish hue, which is another sign that detoxification has begun. So maybe this thing is slowly coming along!
I won't be working out with weights during this Cleanse (as I was religiously before) as I have no protein source to feed muscle growth. I DID take a brisk 20 minute walk yesterday as it was SO nice out, and I want to keep some kind of cardio routine. I also did 20 pushups and 30 abs just to help keep up muscle tone (they say you may lose a little during the 10 days).
Lastly, here are my new stats as of this morning, nothing drastic, and they are moving in the right direction!
Weight: 215 lbs (down 5)
Resting Heart Rate (upon waking): 64
Blood Pressure: 126/66
Again, my energy levels are pretty good, so we'll sailing right along!
If YOU are interested in perhaps doing this Cleanse one day, there are multiple books available on it, just look at the bottom of this page!
Yay for Good Health!
