DAY 6 Review and NEW Stats...

Happy Daylights Savings! There are a few pristine things in my life that I look forward to, and Daylight Savings is one of them! The other is the end of this cleansing fast, haha! Day 6 is history, and things are progressing along slowly, but progressing nevertheless...

A few interesting observations from yesterday:

1. I still feel fine. No headaches, no fatigue, ran an easy 25 minutes yesterday, no lightheadedness, cramps, or anything.
2. The amount of toxins being removed from my body are slowing, which I guess is a good thing. I don't know what the test would be for removing ALL toxins, but I have a feeling it would be longer than I am willing to take...
3. A hot bath of Epsom salt DOES feel wonderful, and heals the skin. A broken blister I had on my ankle (from running) is almost gone, and healed especially fast after exposure to the salt bath. I would encourage these for anyone who wants to give their body a treat!
4. BIGGEST challenge was attending a drop-in at a friends house, and standing right next to people enjoying a table full of wonderful Asian food, desserts, and drink. As much as I would have LOVED to partake in all of that, my trusty bottle of purified water and I got along fine. Even the SMELL of the food (which again, was divine) didn't make me want to eat. I am hoping that I will continue to have this kind of control when I actually go off of this fast...

Today starts Day 7, which according to other past users, is the toughest day. I don't know what to expect, but am convinced now that the results of how one feels on the Master Cleanse are largely contributed to what one THINKS will happen (MIND over BODY!). If after this "tough" day I still feel the same, I will start to "ease out" of the fast, and start to introduce orange juice to my diet (which I am looking forward to tasting ANYTHING but lemons!)

Here are today's Stats:

Weight: 211 lbs (down 9 pounds from start)
Resting Heart Rate (upon waking): 60
Blood Pressure: 118/79

Looks like I will drop around 10 pounds while on this cleanse, which is great! I am confident that with the sun setting later, and the warmer temps, my increased running and better eating will help me continue getting back under 200, and closer to the weight I was while in China! Enjoy the later sunsets!

 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! I must say in a disclaimer that I don't recommend starting a cleanse like this without consulting with a doctor!

Yay for Good Health!
