Day 9: January 8,2009. Thursday.
No walk today!

I had to make a trip to Miami and back. It’s about 8 1/2 hours round trip from my place and I went I got back I was too exhausted to do anything.

During the entire trip I was able to drink my super Master Cleanse lemonade mix. This was a good thing for me. I did not have to make the frequent stops to eat junk or fast food.  Between the lemonade and water I was doing fine.

I am still feeling great and still wanted to eat something when I got back. I ended up going to a local bar to watch the Gators beat Oklahoma.

I must add that it was an exciting game. I was tortured by the pizza that was ordered and all the beer laying around. Oh well I only have 1 day left and I am not going to mess up now.

I am noticing that I have been getting less sleep and I am still feeling good. It must be the metabolism changing. Burning more calories I am thinking. Either way no complaints.

This time I am really excited that I only have one day left. I have that feeling of getting something accomplished and it’s a great feeling.  Now off to drink the not so great SWF to end the night.

One thing for sure is that I can’t believe how so far I’ve went from 192.8 lbs to 180 lbs. in only 9 days! Not that I trying to lose it but I am liking the feeling.

I am also glad to see that my last day ends on a Friday! It’s almost like payday!!

Now off to day 10!

Day 8: January 7, 2009. Wednesday.
Well this was the first day it rained in a long time.

I was not able to do my fast walk for 2 laps which was a bummer. For the most part, this day was nothing but gloomy outside all day.

I took this day as a rest day from any type of physical activities.

I dedicated this day to mostly work on the Internet. Trying to make a buck…

My day consisted of staying in front of the PC and drinking lemonade all day. Unlike most other people, I don’t mind being in front of the PC especially if there is something that I am doing and it is of interest to me.

So this day went by fairly quick and again whenever I was hungry I drank the sensational Master Cleanse lemonade followed by SWF. I haven’t noticed that much change from day 7. Other than the normal stress I get from everyday situations.

This day was short and sweet and now I only have 2 days left.

I am now getting friends asking me what I am doing to make myself better. I go into the whole deal and explain the process of what I am doing to achieve the goals that I am reaching. More than anything, they are not sure how I can go on without eating anything. So they have their doubts and I can understand.

I did tell them that I have 2 days left and that I can be used as a reference after my 10 days are over. I love to share my experience with others and that is why I decided to make these posts.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. I will do whatever I can to help.

Day 9 here I come!

Day 7: January 6, 2009. Tuesday.
Fast walk 2 laps at the trail near my place.

I am feeling really good about myself and having to get this far was a big accomplishment for me.

This was an easy and non-tempting day for me. I ended up going to a friends house to hang out for a little. Mostly to shoot the breeze. I am not craving a bad as before but I know my body wants to eat something. Today I stayed away from the bars and restaurants so I was not lured into the urge of wanting to eat things.

Fortunate for me the weather here in Tampa during December and January have been fantastic. I enjoy my daily walks to keep the heart pumping the with the sun shining through, I am getting the color and the vitamin E from the rays. Plus is doesn’t hurt to see a few cuties jogging around. (did i say that, oops?) I have to believe that they are checking my out too.

I would like to say that I am somewhat pleasing to eye. I am also a great catch! Well I heard that line before and I sounds real weak so I thought I would use it.

This day was simple with just drinking my almighty Master Cleanse lemonade and finishing up with yet another SWF.

Now I am counting down to day 8!

Day 6: January 5, 2009. Monday.
Fast walk 2 laps at the trail near my place.

I am happy to see that I lost more toxins. I am down another 2 lbs. I have never seen this much change in my body ever. It’s amazing what a cleanse can do for you.

Once again I started torturing myself. I ended up going to another place and was tempted by the smell of food and I was also offered a free pitcher and free chicken wings that I turned down.

They think I am crazy because usually I never ever turn free food or drinks down. My friends could not believe to hear that I am detoxing. I ended up watch the Tostito bowl with Ohio and Texas Longhorns play during which I was sipping on water. I am thinking about the food around me but I am able to hold off until I get home to fulfill my needs with the exciting Master Cleanse lemonade that I made.

If you are wondering why I am always at an establishment and watching the games. It’s because I enjoy getting out of the house and being able to interact with others. I can watch the game at home but that’s no fun. Why not watch the games and have a great time doing it.

I didn’t get the white tongue that was describe by others. At least if it did get white it wasn’t that noticeable. Now the part where you have more energy: this is absolutely correct. If not just for detoxing I like to think that I’ve benefited from the positive energy that I now posses.

Some describe that there smelling got better but I am not sure if that is the case with me. I am smelling more things but I am also clearing up my sinuses with this cleanse so I can’t tell if it’s the cleanse or just me being able to breath better.

I only have 4 more days to go. More than half way with great results.

I am looking forward to day 7!

Day 4: January 3, 2009. Saturday.
Fast walk 2 laps at the trail near my place.

Today was weird, I actually gained 1.6 lbs. Oh well I am sure there is a good explanation for that. I am starting to think that I’ve hit a sticking point.

I was thinking maybe it is because I have finally released all the toxins in the fat cells. I was wrong I was able to lose more weight in the days to come. I will get to take progress in the next few posts.

This day I wanted to go to the local dive bar to watch the first series of the NFL playoffs and I would have loved to enjoy some beer, wings, pizza or anything for that matter. Watching the games and not drinking is like a sin in itself.

There were 2 games on, one at 4:30 Atlanta[24] vs. Arizona[30] and the other at 8:00 Colts[17] and Chargers[23]. I would have been soaking up all the food and beverages for a good amount of the day on a regular case. I endured the pain and went on the entire time drinking waters and just waiting to go home to fill up on some exhilarating Master Cleanse lemonade juice.

I now have got to a pattern of doing the SWF that works best for me. It is a lot easier for me to consume the saltwater flush and I will tell you why. Instead of doing the 32 oz. mixture and trying to gulp that down. I do 2 servings of 16 oz. SWF at a time. This makes it easier for me to tolerate.

I have too much food at my house that keeps me wanting to stuff my face but the lemonade helps me out with the cravings. Really, I sure wish I could take a bit of the food in the fridge.

At this poing I am thinking “how does one go without food for 10 days?” This is only my 4th day. I am back at thinking that I can not back down now. Only 6 more days and my troubles are gone. I am now looking at foods as a reward for me after the cleanse is done.

I am feeling much more energy now. Not only are the 2 laps easy for me to do, I am actually doing more things around the house that I typically put on hold of another time to do.

My friends are even telling me that they can see a big difference in my appearance. Some of them were telling me that my face has even changed for the better and that I look health er.  Quite honest this is what made the challenge for me even better.  Now with the changes that are noticeable by my peers I gave me a new sense of accomplishment. Now I knew I wanted to last the whole 10 days no matter what. Not to mention that I wanted to have the feeling that I actually completed something in my pathetic life.

Now off to day number 5!

Day 3: January 2, 2009. Friday.
Fast walk 2 laps at the trail near my place.

After fast walking the 2 laps I went to Hooters and I know that is not the brightest move in the world but can you blame me? It happens to be one of my default spots.

I went to Hooters to see a friend and I was oh so tempted to order something. I know that I supposed to stop some cravings but not this guy. In general I love to eat just about any type of food available. I am like a human garbage disposal or a dirty smelly goat. Which ever one you prefer.

The smell of the delicious fried foods was getting to me like Pavlov’s Law.  I was able to stay away for ordering any food.

I was then ready to go home to drink more of the phenomenal Master Cleanse lemonade that I made the night before. After doing that I went out to another one of my watering holes to watch some college football games.

It never fails, when I least expect it, guess what? I was handed some free beers and to top it off I was even blessed with a FREE PITCHER. Like most people I know, you are not to ever turn down free beer or even let it go to waste. We call that Alcohol Abuse. Luckily I was friends who were drinking and were able to receive the benefits.

I really felt bad that I had to turn down the offers but I know that I only have 7 days left and I didn’t want to wuss out on that now. I ended up having a good time and enjoyed the game and afterwards I went home to finish of the lemonade drink and did the SWF to end the night.

Now off to day 4! WooHoo!!

Day 2: January 1, 2009. Thursday.
Fast walk 2 laps at the trail near my place.

This was a simple day. I woke up in the morning still wanting to eat some food but I had to stick with my awesome mixture of the Master Cleanse lemonade. This day I went in to an organic food store and I tell you what, I should have not done that.

Everything in the store looked great and fresh. I wanted to buy something to eat. I didn’t care what it was. I was just overwhelmed by the delicious looking products. I told myself to wait until I get home to slam down some of my fabulous mix of the Master Cleanse lemonade.

Since I am not big into shopping and always finding the greatest deals I never knew how expensive organic foods can be. I mean, don’t get me wrong I will love to buy the stuff the lemons alone were $0.69 each and I figure that it takes about 4-5 to make a decent 8 oz..

8 oz. is only enough for one day and for 10 days it would be something like $27.60 just for lemons. I decided to go to Sam’s Club for the lemons. They were not organic but they would do just fine and at a lower price.

Also to top the lower price and good friend of mine has a lemon tree in his backyard and the week before he gave me a large bag of lemons to take home. This helped out big time.

I did however pick another 32 oz. of organic Maple Syrup (Grade B). I didn’t want to do this wrong being that this is where some of the minerals and vitamins were coming from.

When the day came to an end and I finished up with my amazing mixture of the Master Cleanse lemonade and the not so cool SWF.

Day1: December 31, 2008. Wednesday.
Fast walk 2 laps at the trail near my place.

This was my first day and I was real excited to see that after the SWF (salt water flush) from the night before I went from 192.8 lbs. down to 188.7 lbs. I know that this is mostly water weight. I still got a good feeling about the quick results.

I started on a weird time and don’t ask why but this is also NEW YEARS EVE. Man that was a mistake. I went to my brother’s 80s New Years Eve party and had a great time but everyone thought I was crazy for not celebrating the New Years with a BANG if you know what I mean.

I was dressed up as an 80s male stripper. Please don’t ask. Anyway, this was very difficult for me because I celebrated new years without a drop of alcohol or food.

I was craving all the food there at the party and since I love food and the food smelt great I was really tempted but I didn’t give in to my primal urges.

I didn’t even taste the champagne at midnight. I didn’t want to be a party pooper but I already started and it didn’t make sense to mess it all up to start all over again. It was like I almost started a New Years Resolution before everyone else did even though I didn’t intent this to be a New Years resolution.

Throughout the day I drank my fine mixture of the Master Cleanse lemonade and purified water when I was thirsty. After a long night and coming home I did the routine of SWF and went to bed.

I don’t recommend on doing the Master Cleanse if you have prior engagements like a dinner with a client or a date. You may come off as rude or strange and in either case that can’t be good.

Make sure that the 10 days is open and that you have nothing that will tempt you to spoil your journey.

Want to know how I lost 13.8 lbs. in 10 days?

The ironic thing is that I was not trying to lose weight but instead detox myself. In other words remove poisons from my body.

This is my journey for the Master Cleanse Detox with a goal of 10 days. I am calling this “Day 0″ because it’s actually a day before I start the program. I am going to keep all of these short and sweet and I wanted to share my experience with you.

I know many of you have questions about the Master Cleanse and so did I before I started. I am not going to tell you how do anything but I will tell you what I did to achieve a goal that was way over do.

As part of my Master Cleanse regimen I did some light walking. I also want to state that this is not a weight loss program. The Master Cleanse is just that, to cleanse the toxins in your body and the bonus is the weight loss.

If you don’t already know me, I am know to drink and like to drink. Well I stopped a little early on before I decided to go with the Master Cleanse program.

This was a difficult thing for me to do as I am always around alcohol beverages and unhealthy food that I love to devour every chance I get. I am type to eat everything I see and enjoy it. I am like a goat I guess.

As for the alcohol, I am always at places that serve it and before I even sit down I usually have a drink coming my way. That’s good and bad at the same time. Good as in I get great service from the girls and bad as in I am always indulging myself.

The problem is that if I decline a drink everyone seems to think that there is something wrong with me. Well I had to do this for 10 days. I even turned down free food! (What kind of friend am I?)

I started on December 30, 2008 Tuesday, and I ate rice and fish in the morning. If you are wondering I don’t eat foods based on breakfast, lunch or dinner. I eat what I like at any giving time. In the evening went to my friends Oscar’s place to eat some of his Spanish food and that was great.

Since I knew that this was my last time that I could eat any food I decided to to munch on 3 fudge striped cookies with caramel chips served with milk. I was in heaven. Before I went to bed I did my first SWF (salt water flush).

192.8 lbs was my weight in the morning. I wanted to keep track of my progress.

I was every excited to get started so bought the supplies for the Master Cleanse so that I can start the process.

Here is recipe that I used for 1 day serving:

1.) 64 oz. of purified water.

2,) 8 oz. of organic maple syrup - grade B.

3.) 8 oz. of freshly squeezed lemon juice.

4.) 1/2 teaspoon of Cayenne pepper. (This may be to much for most people so you can do this to taste)

Every morning and night I do a SWF (salt water flush).

1.) 32 oz of water with non-iodized organic sea salt.

Some people can not tolerate the taste and have to use an herbal laxative tea at night and in the morning. I prefer the SWF because I know within 45-90 minutes I will be done with this for the day and unlike the tea where as if you were to go about your day and then BAM!! You know what I mean.

To include I just started walking around a lake near my place with a trail. I walked 2 times around.  As part of the cleanse I also wanted to get in better shape so walking at a fast pace was another means for me to burn off the fat.

Read my next post for Day 1 of the Master Cleanse. I hope to see you back.

Also feel free to ask me any questions. I would love to hear from you and answer your questions. Again this is my journey and I am not a doctor or a professional in health. I am just a regular guy sharing my experiences.
