Day 2 6.7.08 133 lbs
Waking up with stomach pains is never a good sign. Around 10am I finally get out of bed and start to prepare my lemonade. Not to forget my salt water flush like the previous night, I mix in 2 tsps of iodized salt water into lukewarm water. Disgusting. Unlike the lemonade and tea, this definitely would not be something I could swallow for the next 8 days. I drink as much as I can without throwing up but discard the rest. I’ll stick with the laxative tea the night before instead.
On my first day, smell provoked my hunger, this time any picture of any food sparked my appetite. Thankfully the weather was in the mid nineties, keeping me indoors and away from any inclination to buy food or drinks elsewhere. My main purpose today was to stay as far away from the kitchen as possible. I cleaned the whole house, did my laundry, stayed away from TV (food was everywhere!) and caught up on my reading. I was expecting to have cravings from this detox. In a couple other blogs, some had cravings of whatever they ate most before going on the cleanse. I, however want everything. Biscuits with honey, cornbread, a salad, steak, dessert, everything.
Other than the cravings, I’m feeling great. I have more energy than I thought I would without food. The only negative thing I can say about this detox is the boredom. One drink, one flavor. I’m bored out of my mind.
I have a question for you? How did that salt water flush go? Did that make your stomach gurgle and hurt??
I am proud of you!
it was disgusting. I almost threw up. I had 2 large sips and threw the rest out. I don’t think I drank enough to make a difference in my stomach.
