Day 5 of Master Cleanse

Day 5
151.4 lbs!!

It's pretty incredible that I've dropped 7.6 lbs in 5 days. I've been seriously tired lately though and have been going to bed really early all this week. Work has been good and busy but not too stressful or anything. I only was mildly irritated today by Sang b/c she asked me to print her stuff out b/c she said she had no time. Well, I was v. busy myself but I did it anyway. I suppose my mood has been pretty level all week. I've been upset with Dave twice this week though but for valid reasons.

Day 2 was the last day of my real bowel movements. Ever since then it's been liquid. I didn't have very much of one today so I did a salt water flush twice and not much is happening. My tummy is rumbling now and I'm hoping that means I will go. I didn't lose any weight this morning which was surprising b/c every single day since day 1 I've been losing about 2lbs.

The lemonade got boring with lemons so I've switched to limes. The directions say they're interchangeable so I hope that's not the cause of my non-weight loss today.

Ok so the salt water flush worked...lol! On a slightly gross side-note, it's really only liquid now and I've never experienced that. My lower intestine has never been this clean before. The directions say there might be several eliminations and my tummy is still rumbling a little bit so we'll see. Dave is coming over in less than an hour for a movie so I hope I'm all done by then!!

Focusing hasn't been a problem since day 2 either and I've been getting the hang of when to drink the lemonade in order to stave off bad feelings of light-headedness. Today was interesting in the fact that it was the first day where I was unable to finish 8 servings of lemonade in 8 hours. In fact, I'm still working on the 8th serving and it's 8pm as I write this.

It is interesting to not eat for days and not feel like I'm going to die. Or even miss chewing. My jaw actually feels pretty great. The things that do bother me are my back and sides. I feel very achey there and I have no idea why. The instructions did say I might feel some aches and pains but I wonder what is causing it. I wonder if it's for good, or for bad reasons?

I have noticed that my sense of smell has sharpened and my toothpaste tastes much stronger. Dave's breath smells terrible to me now and so does most strong-smelling stuff.

Ok I'm going to make more lemonade to get me thru the movie. See you later!
