Day Three

I thought to myself this morning after Biology. That's it 3 days is more than enough for this body. But 20 minutes later I felt fine like I could keep it up. Okay facts : I have a lot less energy. stomach cramps . kinda slow thoughts . slow in general. headaches on and off. But then there's this ease I'm feeling I begin to worry or get caught up and then I just settle and take a little step forward instead of a big one. My reason for doing this is to SLOW down. And the cleanse forces me to , I don't know if that's a good reason to or not and of course I want the physical benefits as well. But I've not taken on so much this week , I've observed more then participated I've listened to the rain and there's been a lot of it. My internal world usually feels in a rush in movement ( DIgestion ? )Normally I have to do yoga instead of want to stop them mind. But I am looking for how to stop the mind from rambling without anything , just me. The thing about me is I change, I am just not always willing to come along for the ride. I want the new thing immediately. It's the body working through stuff , and just leaving it alone, instead of trying to figure it out.
SO for today I'll stick with it . Cayenne pepper and all .

The Master Cleanse Day One

Just the title feels out of my league. The word master frightens me , I don't want to be a master at anything that I think would make me mean and kinda a bitch. But, I am embarking on this cleanse this week . My reasons for it are not exactly sure yet. I worried over it all week and decided to let myself decide when the day came , If I was feeling like it was a good idea or not . I woke up this morning and thought ; " Yea why not " So I'm on my 3rd glass of water, maple syrup , cayenne pepper and lemon juice. It's actually quite yummy , I probably won't be saying that in 4 days. My goal is 5 days , but we will see. I am taking it in steps.
Before I started I gave up caffeine and that was the worst headaches ever! But , now the fog is lifting and I'm over the caffeine withdrawal hump I must say that coffee Is such a hard one for me I want to love it and cherish it and sip it like a hummingbird but I become I gulper and I long for it and drink it more and more until I feel myself turning into a crisp espresso bean. I can feel my teeth and tounge coated in it's pungency. I've never been good at moderation. We'll see how I do with the "Lemonade " (That's what the master calls it. )
