My Journey into The Master Cleanse (Day 8 of 10)


If you haven’t read My Journey into The Master Cleanse (Day 1 of 10) I suggest you read it, as this is a followup entry. It will give background info on what I am doing.

Day Eight

Well, it’s Saturday again. Almost done. Thankfully, the colon seems to be cleansing itself quite well without requiring the aid of the salt water cleanse. Even without a salt water cleanse, it still makes the suggested number of “movements” in the morning. What also helped is that I began drinking more water today. I know, I should have drinking more water since the beginning of this cleanse, but I’m afraid I was somewhat distracted by the work that went into making Lemonade-X.

I’ve also realize how useful this cleanse would be when you’re pressed for time. Basically, it’s liquid nutrition, and although it can’t sustain you forever (limit is 40 days says the author), it would be a great tool to use while on the road, not to mention how much cheaper it would be than buying “normal” food.

Just a thought.

Day Seven

Perhaps the Smooth Move laxative tea worked too quickly through the night. My body woke me up at 5 in the morning to visit the bathroom. I don’t know why it would work so quickly, though. I drank the tea at 21:00 last night, which is the normal time. After falling back asleep, I slept later than desired: 09:00. That reminds me, I’ve been sleeping more than usual lately. I seem to get tired earlier in the evening. Most likely, there is less sugar in my blood than normal which effects me alertness at night. In the long term, it is preferable that I fall asleep earlier.

I spent a good deal of the day out and about, so I brought 4 cups of the Lemonade-X with me in my Nalgene bottle again. I increasingly realize how challenging this cleanse can be if there is good food around you. Let no one fool you, self-discipline is a requirement of this cleanse. At times, it becomes difficult to go on, but now that I am so close. So close.

Seeing days lined up
all in a row
so easily
one wonders if
they are all one day
lasting until the end of Time.
