Day 6…at work and smelling something wonderful, find out that theres a potluck and someone has a slowcooker with a turkey in it!!! Smells like Thanksgiving!!! Yikes…I love Thanksgiving food, I swear I’m being tortured or tested, I think both! But, Thanksgiving is in November, so I can wait:) Feeling kind of tired, did not sleep well last night…but, overall I seem to exude more energy, which is great, because lately I’ve been experiencing the 2pm slumps and since I’ve been doing MC I can honestly say that I’m not feeling that! When I get home from work I am getting more done and actually not relaxing until after 8pm….4 more days to go and hoping to do an extra few…stay strong everyone!

Day 6…Pro’s: Looking Good, Feeling Good Con’s:Working in the FoodService Industry makes this Really REALLY tough, Want a Ham Sandwich BAD! Seriuosly though…..I tried this with my boyfriend and failed badly. We both like the Cleanse but realized doing it with a partner is tough. If you both get the cranks @ the same time….Hide the Denato’s Pizza coupons. Trust me. : ) Kinda wanted to stop a few times, but read all your comments and really feel the support. Literally, when I wanna quit around 7pm….Everyday, I turn on my little window into Cyberspace and their you all are. THX SO MUCH! see you tomorrow……………

Day 6 is here!! I feel great, although I was hoping for more in the cleansing department. No solids coming out.. is it still working as it should? The only bad thing is that I am still really craving food. Also, I kind of still want “bad” foods. Everyone else seems to want healthy foods only. Truth is, I cannot wait for this to be over. However, I feel trim and full of pride that my willpower is so strong. I love knowing that I am doing something healthy for my body, and I’m looking forward to how all my clothes will fit. I will definitely make it to day 10!! The best part is talking to friends who never made it past day 4. Ha! I think it’s helpful to talk about it (which you have to do when you are someone like me who is always eating usually) because then you don’t want to wuss out publicly. Day 10 is on the horizon!!!

I am ending my sixth day, and I can honestly say I am officially sick of the lemonade. The not eating part isn’t as bad as the monotonous taste of the lemonade. I almost prefer the SWF to this!! Oh well, I know can make it through until day 10, I just wish I could have a new flavor of lemonade!!!

Day 6: I had good day. I think of all the days, this has been slightly challenging as far as food temptation is concerned. My fiance cooks for himself now and he is very supportive,but the smell of his food was soo enticing! I have now gotten in the habit of sniffing his food and “chew” the flavor or drink my juice. I imagine what the food tastes like and tell my self: “i know how it tastes, i have had this before and will eat it some time soon” etc. I also try to remember the last time i ate too much and the unconfortable feeling i got from it. All these visualizations help me resist the urge to eat. Also, i was able to resume my work out even though i am taking it easy for this week (1 hr on elliptical; hiked for 1.5hr yesterday). Wt loss to date=6.5.Overall, it was a good day.

Day 6 in the books! Today was a particular challenge because everyone at my office brought in chocolate from their Easter holiday. I refrained, but I enjoy a good piece of chocolate!

I continue to have great energy, sleep well and feel very light and flexible at my yoga class. During days 4, 5 and today, I have had small acne/pimples on my face which could be something in my system working itself out – nothing major. It all appears to be clearing up and my skin all over is amazing – it seems younger, with more moisture and great coloring.

My system continues to be working itself through – I thought I was completely done on Day 3, but there seems to be more. I’m glad I stayed with the cleanse and will continue for the ten days. I don’t weigh myself, but I know I have lost inches all over. My body tends to retain a lot of water and so I know the reduction is an unclogging and slimming. I think the benefit of the cleanse for me is to clear my system of those foods that keep me from processing everything well and then stay away after the cleanse.

So, looking for more people to post! Spring is here – a great time to leave the winter behind and start fresh with the sunshine!

Well day 6 is here wow.. I HONESSTLY can NOT BELIEVE IT!!! I think he reality of it all will set in really on day 8 . The reason is I want to surpass my auntie who is 67 and does this wonderfully however she has never went pass 7 days.. so after day 7 I can say.. YES!!! I will see the finish line, I must say I have lost quite a bit of weight I have NOT WEIGHED but I can see it in my thighs ( which never moves) and neck.40 days I would be totally anoxeric.. LOL
I also still feel pretty good, the energy is CRAZY.. really CRAZY.. this stuff is like crack.. LMAO. Far as food is concerned I am craving beans, lettuce, Indian food, salads,nothing bad at all.. isnt that crazy, but good. so i have made out my gorcery list for MOnday, of which I am going Sunday and also going to cook Sunday night.. at midnight.. so I can at at least taste my soups for the taste. BUt you see I said midnight and that is if im up if not Monday morning it is. Hey if you can go 10 days you can go a couple of hours.( especially sleeping hours) I really want to thank you all for this blog this helped a lot, and also now I have a few people filing suit, they are like wow you look great, and you seem to be so chipper.. LOL. So I have a few followers, I wil give them ALL the support I had and then some. That is where the winners and losers come in, support is essential.

Ciao

Day 6 went well for me. I feel fine but I fear that I am not taking in enough of the lemonade. Keeping busy is the key.

Yesterday, went well. I have a slight headache this morning. I like the comments in the introduction – I should not feel any hunger today. I certainly wasn’t hungry yesterday. I did a short work out this morning (1 mile on the treadmill and 10 minutes on the eliptical, plus I lifted weights for my back (lat pulldowns & rows)). I think I still struggle with just not eating – but I would hate to stop now. So Onward!

@Josie : I’m not 100% sure why orange juice is chosen but I guess you can use a mix of fruit juices would be fine. Why not fruit? after 10 days of fast, most likely digesting the fruits would be quite of a sudden so it would be better to start off with various fruit juices, followed by actual fruits, and you can start to drink soups too.

Stay positive and it’s just 4 more days to go! Cheering for you! =)
