Hello FOOD!
this morning, tyler cooked me an egg sandwhich.
and it was delicious!...although..i was full, realllly full after about 4 bites.
and..had potty problems (tmi?) seriously..almost instantly.
haha
my final count is -6lbs.

GRANTED, some of that is water weight! (distilled water/lemon juice are dehydrating)

here are my pros for the Herbalogica 5 day cleanse:
+ DOABLE: i can do anything for 5 days.
+ Clear: my brain felt clear..until yeterday afternoon..then i couldn't talk haha me and mom were laughing..because she was "sharp as  whistle" and i just loved these "heat seaters"
+The supplements: i took a fiber supplement, a colon cleanser and an intestinal cleanser.
+jump start: i am playing with the idea to stay off sugar. today, it does not sound good to me at all. and i think it is something i can maintain. i really had a hard time coming off the sugar..but once i had it out of my system, i felt amazing. sugar is bad for us. it's bad for our brains. our skin. our guts. it's bad! now..do i think i'll have the will to say I'M NEVEREATINGSUGARAGIAN? nope. not a chance. BUT..i am confident that i can have complete control around it now.
+accomplishment: we all know my sick love of watching my body do things that i do'nt think i can do. (running...) this was no exception. never in my life have i purposley not put any food in my mouth for any time longer than a fast til dinner... i feel today like i really accoplished something. too bad theres not medal. haha

k.. cons:
+with losing water weight (which oyu do gain back over time.not as much, but some) i probably also lost some muscle mass as well...now..since my goal was to cleanse my system, and see some numbers on the scale i haven't seen in too long..i am okay with this. i can build that back up (it wont be easy) but..if you're goal is to maintain muscle..this isn'for you.
+......that's all i have.

so anyways, it was diffcult. especially in the evenings, but i did it.

bring on the holidays, i got 99 problems, but crap food aint one.

I have never tried a cleanse. Sometimes I try and go off sugar and I last 3 hours and then I am pissed and eat my weight in chocolate. I'm impressed.
