So, somehow Abby and I got the crazy idea to try to do a cleanse. I'm going to say it's her fault {and she'll probably say it's mine [don't believe her!!!]} I thought we should do a juice cleanse. 5 different kinds of juices a day....water...doesn't seem too bad right?? That's what I thought but I figured I better give Abby a choice.
*Juice Cleanse
-yummy juices
-variety
-3 days
*Master Cleanse
-lemon juice, cayenne pepper, maple syrup (not the good kind), and water
-2 LITERS plus water every day [that's it]
-Salt Water Flush (1 liter of water, 1 tablespoon of salt, drink it in 10 minutes and wait for it to clean out uhhhhh....ya...you know what I mean)
-3 days...after doing more research...10 DAYS
Take your choice....I think Abby was thinking,"No pain, no gain."
Day 1: Not bad. Lemonade 'stuff' makes me gag but I'll get used to it eventually.....right?? I've never gone potty so many times in one day! But atleast 'it' looks healthy :-) Threw up...first time since living by the cow farms that I was thankful for the smell. Besides that, no side effects...except for not feeling satisfied.
Day 2: Supposedly the worst day...supposed to get head aches, blemishes, sleepiness, and {possible death}. None of the normal symptoms appeared {except maybe the feeling of death by poison}. I still gagged down the drink but it didn't taste as bad as I was expecting it to. Today is the day we drink the Salt Water Flush...kind of excited to see what happens. Toxins are supposed to be released within an hour of drinking the liquid and people say it's intense! Abby and I decided since it's our first cleanse [and we eat pretty health as far as preservative are concerned] we would only go for 3 days instead of 10. Drank the liter on the way home from Abby's. I will never again drink salt pool water....no desire anymore. I didn't think this drink would be THAT bad. I started drinking it and by the time I got to the end, I had to FORCE myself to swallow. I would hold it in my mouth for a while until I could convince myself that there was no where else for it to go. I WAS NOT GOING TO SPIT IT OUT!! It was amazing! Before I got home I could feel my stomach a rumblin'. The second I walked in the door I threw up. Holy cow! I was afraid I was going to have to try stopping so I could flush the toilet before it overflowed! No wonder I threw up! So needless to say, the SWF didn't do any good besides clearing out my nose with watered down lemonade. I called Abby and told her that I quit. It's just not worth it. I ate a tangerine orange thingy...I FELT HORRIBLE!!! 3 days! That's it! 3 DAYS!!!
Day 3: I still feel bad for eating the tangerine orange thing but I am still drinking the lemonade crap. Today is the last day. And curse Jack's family!!! Erin {the mom} made some excellent smelling dinner last night and they're warming it up for lunch!!! They keep apologizing and I just think it's funny. They are awesome!!! Mmmmmm I can't wait for tomorrow's dinner :-) Even if it is just a sandwhich!
Thinking about this I'm wondering....[WHAT THE HECK?] Why would anyone in their right mind do this cleanse? I've come to the conclusion that I am doing this so one day (yes some day) I will be able to tell my kids,"Don't you dare complain about fasting! One time I did this clease...." and if they ever complain again, guess what they'll be eating for the next 3 days?

I still can't believe you guys did that. What were you thinking? Crazy girls!!!!
Haven't you ever heard the old adage- "if it's not broke, don't fix it"? You are already eat healthy food, exercise, drink water and are generally healthy. Cleanses seem like a joke if you ask me (I know, you didn't, but that's my two cents anyway). Glad you are feeling better.
