The Cleanse- Day 1

So, Ken and I have decided to do the Master Cleanse for 10 days. We came to this decision after going to Charleston and eating super rich food and drinking too much.

I am slightly nervous about doing this because I have very little self control and I love food a lot. But, after reading some other blogs about it I am pretty excited to look skinny so hopefully that will keep me motivated.

The first part of the cleanse, the inner salt water bath, was pretty much a failure for me. Within an hour after drinking a ton of lukewarm salt water you were supposed to have to go to the bathroom super bad. That did not happen to me (or Ken) so now my stomach hurts. The book said if it didn't work you would have to add either more salt or more water to the mixture to find the right balance. I don't know if it's really worth it or not, it was so gross tasting.

The happy news is the lemonade you have to make is actually pretty good. I've read that other people who did it actually ended up craving it and I can see why.

I am trying to come up with some goals for myself to complete in the next 10 days so I can focus on something besides my lack of solid food. Here is a tenative list:

-Write every day
-Re-read/finish 100 years of solitude
-Clean and organize the apartment
-Get serious about researching culinary schools/classes (yup, it's my new thing)
