Day 3: Master Cleanse

I will say one thing - that saltwater flush friggn works like a charm in an evil, immediate kinda way.  I have seen some blogs recommend not using that part of the cleanse but man, it is damn effective with immediate results.  So if you ask me, stick with the saltwater cleanse even though as you drink it down you want to gag on the insanely bitter, horrific taste...well worth it.

I did Yoga again on Day 3 (Iyengar this time), and had one of my best classes yet.  I think your mind craves distraction from the food cravings that happen when you smell anything that even slightly resembles a "food smell".  I was able to really focus on the breath and be in the pose during the entire class - something I havent been able to do so well.

 After class, I came back home, grabbed the board, and hopped in the water for a 1 mile paddle and surf.  Had plenty of energy and felt great...until like 7. 
I could not keep my eyes open or mind off of fooooood.  It felt like every commercial was about food.  Hell, even the Applebee's 2 for $20 platters that Chris Berman was pitching looked like the best food I've seen since birth!

I can say its harder this time around that I dont have a job, dogs, or a wife to keep my occupied.  Very glad I am doing it, but will only be doing 5 days this time around with a proper ending - meaning I will do the day 6 orange juice and day 7 veggies only before going to Applebees!!!!!

Day 2: My Holidaze Master Cleanse

So last night during my first day was wow, ROUGH.  I felt like shit, had the shivers, smelled and stared down the delicious chicken my roommate was hammering down right out of the plastic container he bought from Von's....bastard!

So to avoid the crave, I sat my ass down and watched the Victoria's Secret show and found loads in common with all those sickly skinny broads - we both aint eatin!!  Seriously, what is up with that.  They turned and shook their 13 yr old looking asses as if it was sexy, but it was sad.

I can say I feel great today, a bit chill, calm, and centered.  As compared to yesterday, I have more energy, I'm not craving food but would still love a big hot cup of highly caffeinated coffee.

As it stands right now from a bowel perspective, I had one small movement in the AM which was pretty uneventful.  I then downed my saltwater flush, had some sips of that lovely concoction of lemon, maple syrup, and cayenne....tasty.  So here I blog and wait for that explosive flush to polka dot the bowl.

Anyway on the agenda today is to surf, do yoga, monetize my blog, search for a job in DC, and drink lots of cleanse juice!

Day 1: Holidaze Master Cleanse

So it's been a year since my last and first Master Cleanse adventure.

One that was done in a completely different life context for me. I thought, if my wife (now ex-wife) can do it and it makes such sense, then so should I. After all, I try to explore all things that are seemingly against the grain but end up being the best life experiences.

So the life context this second time around is divorced, jobless, and a bit exhausted after a 3 month tour of, at times, debaucherous living. I shall begin drinking a mixture of lemon juice, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper for over a week, along with starting my mornings by chugging 1 liter of water mixed with a Tablespoon of un-iodized salt.

In fact, I already drank that saltwater cleanse and admit I must cut this short...more later.
