Lemon Cleanse Official Day One

Last night I drank a cup of laxitive herbal tea. I don't like it much, but I managed to get it all down. Then I went to bed. This morning I drank one quart of salt water. It was gross. I put about a teaspoon of uniodized salt into my water bottle and added warm water then shook it up, plugged my nose, and drank. I couldn't taste the salt, but I could sense it. Ugh. Gross. I had to do it twice to equal a quart. On my very last swallow I dry heaved (disgusting, I know) and couldn't swallow it. But then about an hour later I went number 2 for the first time in a few days. Then I drank my lemonade all day. It was hard resisting food so much, but I've put myself through a few days of gross and weird things, might as well not give up. So tonight I'll make another cup of tea and go to bed! Yay!

Hey jess! i finally found your blog:) mom told me it was blogspot.com/jessietheastronaut so i had a weird time finding it... I´m proud of you for doing that fast! i think im starting tomorrow, so we can keep tabs on each other. its pretty normal to get sick like that, but you can totally make the drink a consistancy that you enjoy- dont drink it if it makes you gag. then you wont make it though the clense. even if you have to dilute it a ton, and just drink more of it, it would be better than gaging it down. same with the salt water, dont drink too much of it, dont push your limit on that because it will make you sick all day! i seriously overdid it one day with the salt water:) Im real proud of you litte jess- ill keep reading your blog from now on... my blog is saragilmore.blogspot.com if you want to add me.. love you!
