Master Cleanse - 9 Days Down, 1 More Day To Go

"A recent police study found that you're much more likely to get shot by a fat cop if you run.."
 - Dennis Miller

Howdie there!  May you have nothing less than a marvelous Wednesday.

Day #10.  I can say beyond any doubt whatsoever that Chucky is sick and tired of lemonade.  ROFLOL  But... on a good note, it's almost over and I believe that it was worth every lemon of effort.

What is on tomorrow's menu?  Nothing but orange juice to acclimate the body back towards solid food again.  Psst... I might cheat a skosh bit and enjoy a wee bit of Miso broth for dinner on Thursday.

When will Chucky and Tiffany be able to eat normal (er... the new normal) again?  On Sunday we should be okay to eat normal foods in moderation, of course. 

 
0.6 lb loss for me on day #10.  That's 23.6 lbs in just nine days.

Hello!  Thanks for dropping by my blog.  I hope that you find something interesting, unusual, or find yourself "Chuck"ling.

Day #9.  I am desperately looking forward to tomorrow night when it all ends!  I'm just so tired of lemonade.  Tiffany is handling the repetition much, much better than I.

But, on the good side?  It's not distasteful, it satisfies the hunger, and could certainly be much worse!  Besides, I feel good and am not having any regrets for doing this cleanse.  But, between you and I, it's an awful good incentive to keep the crap out of my body afterwards so that I won't have to repeat it as often!

1.6 lb loss for me on day #9.  That's 23.0 lbs in just eight days.

"We are living in a world today where lemonade is made from artificial flavors and furniture polish is made from real lemons."
- Alfred E. Newman

Greetings friend!  May you be blessed with a fine day and an even better week to come. 

Day #8.  I'm truly getting tired of lemonade (and limeade).  But, as Tiffany reminded me last night, there are only nine more glasses to go!  But ~ as boring as lemonade might be, it's both doable and could certainly be much worse. 

The weekend proved to be relatively difficult but not terribly so.  The workweek provides focus on the job and that takes the mind off of the cleanse.  I don't have any problem believing that it'll be over before I know it.

0.4 lb loss for me on day #8.  That's 21.4 lbs in just seven days. The purported weight loss average on the cleanse is 2 lbs per day so I suppose that I'm ahead of the curve?  But, of course, I'm also ahead of the curve when it comes to the weight that my poor little legs must carry!  :)

"It's my personal opinion that human beings are one of the most unintelligent species.  After all, we possess incredible abilities for logic yet we keep killing each other in wars, murdering each other in crime, mistreating each other on many occasion, depleting natural unsustained resources, and so on and so on and so on."

I tip my hat to you my friend.  May you experience nothing short of a most pleasant and productive day. 

Day #7.  Yesterday was truly tough.  No, neither Tiffany nor I experienced hunger but it was the habit of visiting our local restaurants that was difficult.  Although it's not distasteful, I am getting a little tired of lemonade.

Yesterday we attempted to make our day as normal as possible by running our errands.  The only difference?  No stops into our local establishments to eat breakfast, eat lunch, or grocery shop.

I, unsuccessfully, tried mowing the yard yesterday afternoon.  I did get the front yard completed but just barely.  I've never sensed a more heavy and difficult lawn mower to push!  I attribute this to the lack of calories and energy to expell for the process.  I hope to finish the back yard today.

All in all, Tiffany and I feel great!  No headaches, no pains, and no hunger.  We simply miss the solid food, the variety, and our regular weekend stops.

0.8 lb loss for me on day #7.  That's 21.0 lbs in just six days.  It may not be significant but it's loss just the same.

Hello there my friend.  Have a stupendous and most wonderful day!

Day #6.  It seems to get easier as each day passes.  Tiffany and I speak of, dream of, and think of all foods except lemonade every waking (and sleeping) moment but both agree it's not drive by hunger.  More so of delicious moderate healthy eating ahead of us soon.

Oh?  On day 11?  No.  We've got to wean ourselves back to solid food.  Day 11 is a switch to fresh orange juice.  Day 12 is fresh orange juice and a wee bit of fresh vegetable soup.  Day 13 is a little heavier on the solid foods and day 14 is back to normal.  Er... Excuse me.   "A brand NEW normal."

Guess what?  2.3 lb loss for me on day #6!!!  That's 20.2 lbs in just five days.  "I'll take it."  Uh ~ I'll allow it to go!

I extend a plethora of pleasantries to you my friend!

Day #5.  Another great day.  Feel great, mind is sharp (okay, okay... as well as it can be), sleeping well, no hunger, and it's been easy getting through the days (and nights).

I might excessively be thinking of future solid foods to come but this is actually a good thing.  I'm thinking in light of what I will and will no longer place into my body after this cleanse.  I truly intend to keep the processed crap and sugars from my diet.  To lean much MORE toward vegan, raw and natural foods.

Guess what?  1.7 lb loss for me on day #4!!!  That's 17.9 lbs in just four days.  Nice cleanse benefit, in my humble opinion.

May you experience nothing short of a marvelous and most wonderful day!

Day #4. Feel great!  Not hungry.  And not tired.  Other than missing the habit of dining on solid food, everything is pretty much normal.

No biological, physical, or mental changes to make note of.  Okay, okay... Maybe Tiffany and I are feeling really great knowing that we're finally doing this cleanse.

Oh yeah!  2.0 lb loss for me on day #3.  I'll take it!  :)
