Master Cleanse: Day 9

June 25, 2008: Day 9

I am starting to be able to sleep longer. That means that the tea gets to work for a little longer. Well, I don’t think it actually is working any longer, it just sits in my system longer. That means that when I do wake up, there is a major need to use the restroom. I could probably sleep longer, but I know that I should be going, so I get up. As soon as I get out of bed, I am glad that I did, because I start feeling that need. As soon as I empty my system, I drink the SWF. I don’t really dare doing anything for 2 hours after. I don’t even drink anything else until I have eliminated the SWF.

Last night I dreamt that I was eating strawberry shortcake. In the dream I rationalized that the shortcake is kind of like bread, and I already ate bread on Sunday. I also said that the strawberries were fruit, and fruit is okay to eat anytime. I also remember the idea that it isn’t that much, I will be okay. There was even the thought of the strawberry sauce has added sugar, and that is bad, so I shouldn’t eat any more. I didn’t actually eat anymore, but I continued to put some of the sauce on my tongue, because I just loved that taste. But, yet again it was just a dream.

Today’s Weight: 242

11:00 pm
Today I ended up going for two walks again. I felt a little more fatigued than yesterday’s first walk, but not as much as the second one. I am guessing that tomorrow I will end up not going for a walk. I may also have to up the maple syrup again. But, I will take it one day at a time, and will reevaluate sometime tomorrow. My juicer died on me today. I had just started juicing one lime, and it just stopped. I was able to juice the rest by hand.

I noticed that my stomach is starting to sag. I have never seen it with that much of an overhang. Let me just put it this way: when they say that you get older and things start making their way south, that is what my stomach is doing now. Hopefully I can tighten it up again before too long. I don’t want to look this bad next month, let alone next week.
