Pre-cleanse day

Questions I am hoping to answer. Will my tongue really turn pink? Will I crap my pants at work? Will my throat stop burning?

I can't remember what I was trying to research online, when I came across the Master Cleanser. After reading about it, I realized this was the same detox that my friend Maylor was doing years ago, WAY before Beyonce made it famous. After reading as many blogs as I could stand and watching many You Tube videos about the cleanse, I decided to try it. I ordered the book and here I am.

I thought this week would be a good time to start, since we don't have anything going on this week. I won't be tempted by happy hour, dinner at a friends, movie popcorn or anything else. Just my lemonade drink all week. I was supposed to start yesterday, but realized I needed to get a couple of last brunches in before I was going to TRY to start eating healthy again.

I just got back from purchasing some supplies. I heard Trader Joes had everything, so I went there, even though Sunday at 5pm is the worst time to go. Madhouse. They did not have organic lemons or organic maple syrup, but I figure I will need to buy more of this stuff, so I'll try Whole Foods for the next batch. I found the tea at Rainbow Remides, if that matters.

I made one batch to try it out, and gave half to my guy. Let's call him Andy. It is recommended to make a batch to see how much juice is in your lemons. For the record, my lemons are small, so they are one serving. I have to say, it is quite tasty, except for the fact my throat has not stopped burning.

I am going to have to get over the fact that this blog will be about poo and other nasty things, so be warned.

I also read online that if you don't have regular 'movement's, then you shouldn't do this detox. Well, I don't, but I am going to give it a go anyway.

Well, I'm off to eat leftover Thai food. The last food that I will consume for the next 10 days. Let's see if I can do it. It I make it three days, I'll be happy.

I think the blog is addictive... I have eaten my delicious Thai food, and am watching the Pre-Emmy red carpet. I have thought of other questions that I hope to get answered during this blog. I will not be able to focus unless I get these questions listeded.

Will my sense of smell change? It is already very acute, so I hope it doesn't get acuter. I already can barely walk down the street without dry heaving.

Oh, and the reason I am doing this? I thought it would help to jump start my quest to eat healthier. I have fallen off the wagon the last few years. I can't help it. I have strong Midwestern roots, and I likes my wine and cheese.

Oh... I didn't calculate that the end part of this thing I will be on vacation.

Will I have a weird smell?
