Day 2 of the Master Clease: Am I really doing this?

Today is my first full day of the Master Cleanse detox, i.e. NO FOOD! Here's an hourly update of the cleanse as my day goes on:

4:30am Getting ready to go to work. I'm feeling good from my pre-detox diet the day before. I'm not feeling too hungry, but I take a swig of water before heading out.

5:20am I get to work and start to feel that familiar hunger pang - my stomach is calling out for FOOD. So I mix up my first glass of the lemonade drink.

6:10am I realize I only brought 1 large lemon, which is good for only 2 drinks. I'm going to have to run to the market to get more, otherwise I won't be able to get the minimum 6 drinks today - unless I want to stay up all night peeing.

7:30am Starting to get really hungry. I'm drinking so much water to ease the hunger, that I'm peeing every half hour or so!

8:30am When my stomach makes a growl, I take a swig of the lemonade. It kinda helps. I'm almost done with the first drink and all the cayenne pepper is at the bottom of the bottle so the drink is kind of spicy. At least that gets my mind off food for a bit.

9:20am I think I'm over this wave of hunger. My stomach isn't growling and I don't have an urge to eat anything. Guess this is the first hump I'm over. Let's see how long this will last...

10:10am Mmmmm, someone's eating a chocolate chip cookie and I can smell it. Didn't I read somewhere that you can overcome a craving for something simply by smelling it?

11:05am Oh no, it's LUNCH TIME! The smell of people's food wafting from the kitchen to my nose is making my stomach cry out for some food. I think it's time I take a break and go get my lemons.

12:45pm I'm actually feeling quite full believe it or not. I drank so much water and lemonade drink that I can't even think about making another glass. And I *just* went out and got some lemons too! Waaaaaste!

2:30pm Just got home from work. Stopped by Trader Joe's for some sea salt for the Salt Water Flush that I'm totally NOT looking forward to. I have to do it on an empty stomach so I'm gonna take my afternoon nap, and do the flush in a few hours. Oh by the way, I hoped on the scale just to see where I'm at and according to it I lost 2 pounds! I should probably check my weight at the same time everyday for a more accurate reading.

5:30pm Took a nice nap and now drinking my third glass. I need to force myself to drink more in order to get the minimum 6 glasses in. I don't want to lose like 20 pounds (if that's even possible), and I don't want to faint from no nutrients. In a couple hours I'll do the Salt Water Flush and brace myself for what's to come after that........

7:00pm Just downed a quart of salt water. NOT EASY. I just had to tell myself I've taken shots of worse things. I literally had to look at myself in the mirror and tell myself not to throw up. I'm not quite sure how I'm going to be able to drink that every day for 10 days!!! It was pretty disgusting. I just hope it works and that I will get to "flush" out toxins in a few hours. In case you're wondering why the hell I just drank salt water, it's for an extra "flush" of toxins. It's either this or taking laxatives, and I figure if I'm cleansing my body of toxins, why the hell would I take laxatives that contain ingredients I can't even pronounce?!

8:30pm An hour and a half later, and I've successfully "flushed" my body a few times, and probably will a few times more. But after posting a status update on Facebook on my salt water flush, some people raised concerns. So I googled the flush along with the word "dangers" and found a few unpleasant articles. So even though I really was "flushed" I think I might skip that part of the cleanse. But then that makes me wonder if I should even do the cleanse anymore. Hmm, I guess I'll give it a few more days.

Total pounds lost: 1 or 2
