Day 2

Not much to post on day 2. I Juiced. I smoothied...I headached. I bellyached. I'm so done...Why am I doing this again? I did discover the joy of smoothies though. Mango + Banana + Strawberry + OJ + Blender = awesome...definitely something I will do going forward


Day 3

For day 3, Dad and I are speeding up the process a bit. we are cutting out the 3rd day of ease-in and skipping straight to lemonade. I did the same last time with no ill effects. We'll see what happens.


The Lemonade


Every day for the next ten involves drinking a mixture of 2 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp maple syrup, 1/10 tsp cayenne pepper, and 4 oz water at least 8 times a day...It is kinda brutal after a while, but it could be so much worse. Every evening we drink herbal tea (peppermint) and every morning we do our awesome Salt Water Flush (SWF). The SWF involves drinking 1 liter of salt water...waiting 10 minutes...then "flushing"...It's kinda wild. Without too much gory detail, I'll explain. The body can't process salt water the way it would normal liquid. It won't digest it. So it "moves it through" the other fastest way possible. And it works FAST.

So far I have had my lemonade...and my tea...now the flush (tomorrow @ 5:30am). I'm strangely excited. The flushing is the part that makes you feel like you're doing some good. Wish me luck!

As a final note. I have to give thanks for my wonderful, beautiful, caring, understanding wife who has put up with me as I storm around being an absolute crank and muttering things to myself. She is my angel. I couldn't do anything without her.
