Master Cleanse - Day 6

I am amazed at my stick-to-it-ness this time around with the Master Cleanse. The last time I did it, around the Christmas holiday season, it was difficult. It could have been the fact that I was on vacation and had all the time in the world to sit and think about food. My partner pointed out that around this time I usually get a little spacy (slow to respond, start forgetting things, outward appearance is lathargic, etc.), however this time, she says I look energized. I've never felt this sort of drive before. I still sit and think about food, but in a good way. I am reading a few books to learn about what my body needs and how my body responds to certain kinds of food. I am also every morning when I rise. I feel great!

I'm beginning to run out of lemons. I hope my co-workers bring in lemons from their trees. Trader Joe's lemons are .39¢ each! On the average, I use 6 to make the cup and a half that I need for the day and I still have 4 more days to go.

My skin is still broken out...but looking a little better. I'm not sure it will be clear by the end of 10 days. We shall see. My tongue is still coated white. I have the feeling that I will be doing this cleanse a bit longer until my tongue is pink again.  I found an interesting website about what the coating means. My tongue is equally thinly coated white from top to bottom, except the very outside edges (liver and gallbladder and heart areas) are pink. When I began, I quickly developed a thick coat of white. The tongue scraper became my best friend.

4 more days (or more depending on my tongue) to go! I can do it!
