The Master Cleanse Do-over Day 10:

I wasn’t sure if I was going to make it, but I find myself below 190 lbs.

Called the gym yesterday and schedule a 30-minute training session for this coming Monday. I’ll get there early to warm-up with some cardio. Sunday evening, Day 2 of the Ease-out, I should be able to have a small salad and by Day 3, I can go on with eating normal (hopefully healthier) meals.

Today, I do 30 munites on the elliptical machine and pick up some items for my Ease-out.

I did it!

The Master Cleanse Do-over Day 8:

I skipped the Salt Water Flush this morning. Yesterday evening, I met some friends at a diner (No, I didn’t have a meal). I had a glass of water and an herbal tea (no sugar). Also, had my cleanse in my bag. Hopefully, I didn’t catch something. Many times the ice bins in restaurants have bacteria. This has happened to me once before (wasn’t cleansing then), I was sick for a week.

Crossing finger that it’s just a 24-hour thing.

The Master Cleanse Do-over Day 7:

Officially 10 lbs lighter! Feel great this morning; stayed in bed an extra hour. I may have to re-stock on maple syrup today. I am extremely happy that I can no longer pinch my back fat LOL… Back fat is my sworn enemy!!

The Master Cleanse Do-over Day 6:

I did make it to the gym yesterday, and I went for 30 minutes on the elliptical; felt really good to do so. Got up this morning and not too long after the news of an explosion at 42nd Street-Port Authority came up on my phone. This all happening during rush hour. Kinda speechless right now…

I wanted to get back to this post… If the events of this morning had happened on Day 3, I’m not sure if I would have been able to continue with the cleanse. Day 3 is the day that I tend to be most irritable.

I feel energized today. Emotionally, it all seems surreal. Has violence, in any form become so normalized that I can be ready to take on the day while just a few hours ago a bomb went off at a train station that I and thousands of people pass through daily (if not hundreds of thousands)?

I do know, that I cannot stop living because I don’t know when I’m going to die.

The Master Cleanse Do-over Day 5:

So.. I weighed myself this morning and the scale read 194. But wait!! Yesterday I was 192.6 lbs!

This goes to show what being sedentary, even for one day, can do. Spending the entire day watching movies I didn’t get to see in the theaters, and binge-watching TV series that I wanted to see, does not burn many calories. Even on a low calorie cleanse.

Maybe, I am retaining water since I am drinking the cleanse and the allowed herbal teas (caffeine-free). Nevertheless, it has me thinking about how sitting in front of the TV, watching a full season of something, while munching became the norm. There’s the weight gain.

So, what now?!

The last time I did this cleanse I was more active; I went to the gym (only for 20 minutes of cardio [it is suggested that you do not weight-lift or strength train while on this clease])… I’ve got ingredients that I need to re-stock; I’ll be heading to the market today. Later, I will get myself to the gym for some cardio.

The Master Cleanse Do-over Day 4:

Phew!!! Made it to Day 4; the first three days are rough, especially Day 3. There is a crashing feeling coupled with irritableness. For a person like me, the crash feels very similar to coming down from a crystal meth run. Thank God, I don’t live that way anymore.

So, I find myself thinking about how to keep the momentum going after my Ease-out process. I have had a membership to Blink Fitness since September that I haven’t been using much; that’s gotta change! To jump-start that, I will schedule a training session. Also, if I can wake up extra early for everything that I need to get done for this cleanse, then I could wake up early to get to the gym three times per week.

The Master Cleanse Do-over Day 3:

The third day I have always found it to be the toughest. Woke up with dry mouth; probably didn’t drink enough water yesterday. I had forgotten how my sense of smell would improve while cleansing…let me tell you this;

The city stinks!

I love NYC, but, honestly, it really smells. Especially in the subways stations. I guess when you live here long enough you just become immune to it.

Anyhooo….

I find this time around the Salt Water flush takes longer. I’m was over an before anything happens. This means I have to wake up earlier to get my day started. I will try adding more salt to the solution tomorrow morning. The last thing I need is to be in a subway car only to find out that there is another BM on its way.

The Master Cleanse - Do-over… Day 1:

It’s been a few years since I’ve done The Master Cleanse, and a lot has changed. Due to a setback in life and a minor injury, I started eating my feelings and was not as active I was back in 2013. As a result, I found my myself being over 200lbs. That’s a first, for me.

Because of the injury, I am currently unable to go jogging; I miss it, so much! Jogging really helped me to maintain a healthy weight.

So, here I am; I did a 2-day Ease-Into the cleanse. Two days ago, I weighed 201.6 lbs. Today, on Day 1 of The Master Cleanse, I weight 198.4 lbs. Yes, you may lose weight during the Ease-In process, and you most likely will continue to lose a few lbs during the 3-Day Ease-Out.

It’s about 10mins to 5pm EST and I feel good. Let’s do this!!!

Wish me luck! NINE more days to go!
