Day 22- Coming off the Master Cleanse

I skipped a few days from blogging.
I was definitely not feeling well at all.
I lost 22 lbs this month from this experience.

I did the unthinkable and drank/ate non raw items
such as Popsicles and Gatorade.
I could barely drink sips of water and eat ice chips.
I felt so weak and lethargic I had to do something.
There's no way that I could drink freshly squeezed OJ or tea.

Then I read online that Storm told Jinjee to eat some
cooked rice to slow down her detox symptoms. So you guessed
it my first bite of food was cooked rice and it actually
stayed down. So I've been eating a little of this everyday.

I'm not beating myself up about it either because I have
changed my eating habits drastically over the past year.
It's resulted in clearer skin, more energy, and losing
81 pounds! :-)

I still can't believe that I only have to lose 33 lbs to
get to my goal weight. I never would have believed this
a year ago.

I had never done anything like this in my entire life.
Honestly if I had went through major detox when starting
Raw I doubt I would have been 100% for so long.

Day 18- Coming off the MC

I'm still not feeling well at all.
This is yesterday's post.
I lost 2 lbs
I can't drink very much.

I've been sipping on water
and eating ice chips. The few pieces of watermelon
I ate the night before didn't stay down.

Yesterday I was able to get more water down and have a
big glass of ice chips. So that's an improvement. I also
ate a few pieces of watermelon in the afternoon and in
the evening and so far so good. They've managed to stay
down.

Jeremy said he would pick me up some Gatorade today. I think
I'm gonna have him get me some Popsicles too. I don't want
to get too dehydrated and end up in the hospital. I'm guessing
this is the last time I do the Master Cleanse. I never expected
this.

Day 17-Coming off the MC

I so did not feel well at all today. Pray for me! :-)
This is yesterday's post.
I lost 2 lbs
I have no desire to drink anything let alone the lemonade.
I got sick 3 times yesterday.

I'm resorting to ice chips, a few sips of water. I tried
drinking fresh orange juice watered down a bit,but it didn't
stay down. I think it's too acidic for me. My body doesn't
seem to want it. I did try some watermelon before going to
bed. It tasted delicious. I've been worried that I wouldn't
have the desire to eat anymore either.

I'm hanging in there,but it's not easy. I've been praying
and since it's the weekend Jeremy has been taking care of me.

We decided today that we didn't want to get married. We love our
relationship just the way it is. So we've decided to continue
living like Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell.

Day 16

Ok it's finally getting to me.
I did lose another lb
This is yesterday's post.
I'm not sure that I can stay on the Master Cleanse much longer.
I'm not feeling well and I'm not even wanting to drink anything.
So that's definitely not a good sign.

I am learning to get up a bit slower after so many times of
feeling very dizzy when I get up real quick. So that's a positive
possibly the only one.

Anyways this is gonna be short and sweet. Like these goats! LOL

I took this picture a few years ago at Arbuckle Wilderness.
We got in free that day for some reason,but I just looked and it's usually
$14.99 a person.

Day 15

I doubt anyone has been reading these very much,but
I'd like to keep a record for myself and anyone else
that is considering doing the Master Cleanse. So
here I am again! :-)

This is yesterday's posting. I lost 2 lbs.

I'm still feeling lightheaded when I get up. I need to
learn to do this very slowly,but after years of just
jumping up this is not very easy to grasp for me.

Yesterday my tongue became white and fuzzy feeling and
the taste is icky which is also making me feel icky.
I just keep brushing my teeth with baking soda and
scraping my tongue.


All those darn toxins trying to get out of my system.
I still can't believe after 2 weeks of not eating
that a person can still have BM's. It really makes me wonder
about the people that eat food that's hard to digest. Their digestive
system could possibly be still working on Christmas Dinner...Ewww!

Jeremy loves to surprise me. So yesterday he came home with what he
called a REValentine's Day gift. Yellow Mini Roses. He heard yesterday
that they were the roses signifying Love. See, Some men do pay
attention! LOL To me it doesn't matter what someone says they mean.
I always know that it comes from Love. :-)

Day 14

It's me again! :-)

I'm gonna make this short and sweet.
I had a lovely Valentine's Day with
my sweetie. I surprised him by fixing
dinner. I usually don't since I'm doing
the Master Cleanse. Then I had a dessert
waiting on him. Apple Pie, his favorite
since we started eating Raw.


The pic is an apple pie I made last Thanksgiving.

I didn't have any walnuts so I just used
pumpkin seeds for the crust with cocoa
powder,raisins, and agave nectar. He said
it was still delicious. I even shaped it
like a heart....Awww! LOL

I really need to learn ASAP to get up slower
because today I was lightheaded big time. I was
telling my step mom tonight that you really don't
realize how fast you move until you go without
food for a few weeks.

Day 13

WoW! I finally had time to update on the same day. :-)

I've lost another lb

I'm still going strong. Yes I've thought about eating here
and there,but it hasn't been an intense craving. I thought
about those brown and serve rolls broke apart with some mashed
potatoes and gravy in it. LOL I haven't had something like that
in years.

It's even funnier because I can remember a time when I was
little when I didn't even like my food touching. Meanwhile
there are still several all you can eat buffet places where
it's acceptable and the polite thing to do to pile your
plate as high as you can and go back several times.

No Thank You! Yes, the food may have tasted good going down,but
I definitely remember how I felt when I ate all that cooked
food. Bloated and Tired.

Soon I'm gonna be ready for a Raw Smörgåsbord like the one
in this picture! :-)
