2009: What day are you on and how are you doing?

[Molunat]

For me, the worst part about doing an MC at this time of the year is the cold. As soon as my metabolism slows down I start to feel chilly.

I agree with toolegittoquit about following the MC to a T. It works better for me that way. I don't know about not counting the days. That may work if one is going for 21 days or longer.

Did I read this right, someone here is going for 60 days?! That is incredible.

Marsh, I think you were around when I did my spring MC. Are you still eating raw? I have to say, I eat half raw, half cooked and I feel much better than when I ate mostly raw. I think my taste buds are more satisfied this way.

Anyway, end of day 1 for me. I did a 7 mile run today. One of my shorter ones, but I am saving my energy.

Day 2 starting. Slept very well but feel achy. I'd like to exercise but I'm going to see how I feel. Maybe some cardio and a yoga session. Bath is a definite. Waiting for the SWF to kick in. I'll check in a bit later. Hope all is well with everybody.

So this has NEVER happened to me.....I just vomited up my SWF?!?! What to do? My first one of this cleanse. Its obviously never my favorite thing but I always can make do....weird. I woke up with a splitting headache in the left front of my brain and seemed to diminish a bit from my first elimination from tea last night.

Should I just skip the SWF and drink tea this am? or just skip both and drink tea tonight?
Thanks

Hi Everyone

Starting Day 5 today of my fourth MC. I have yet to post this cleanse as the rest of my life has been so busy and distracting. Being busy with my kids has made this cleanse the easiest one yet. I hardly have time to crave anything or even think about food. The lemonade drinks make my life easier because they are handy to carry with me everywhere.

The SWF has been a lot easier for me this time around as well. It is still my least favorite part but it is just two minutes of misery and so far no gagging just a really full feeling.

I am hoping doing this cleanse right now will keep me safe from H1N1 as it seems to be going around our neighborhood right now. All the kids who have got it have been quick to recover though so we have been lucky.

Good Luck to everyone cleansing!!

[b]Day One[/B

Hello there to the forum users

Have been off coffee and soda for the past week hoping to make the first few days of the MC easier to handle without caffeine withdrawals………… had a big bowl of popcorn yesterday to help kick off day one today (grins)…..I am sure it will all help.

This is the last MC before my doctor orders new blood work to look at my Cholesterol levels in December. I have put on 20lb since I saw her last and am very embarrassed to return carrying this extra weight as I am sure that my Cholesterol will be higher because of it………..it is not easy transitioning to a RAW diet and I sank back into the SAD one.

The last MC I did was the worse one I ever experienced (my 40 day one was a ‘walk in the park’ compared with it) as I was in so much pain throughout my whole body after the first two days of a serious migraine headache. I felt cold all the time and my back ached as did all of my muscles; I felt cranky, miserable, lethargic and tired all of the eight days before I broke and devoured everything in sight that I could lay my hands on….

Looking back in hindsight and analyzing it all I put it down to all the drugs pumped into me in the hospital when I had my motorcycle accident that month………….also the painkillers and Vikodin I was taking when I returned home. They must have been coming out of my system and causing the detoxing results.

THIS MC I REALLY NEED SOME EXTRA SUPPORT ……OUR MOM PASSED AWAY ON THE 23RD OF OCTOBER ………

A BUDDY WOULD CERTAINLY HELP?

I think you might have put too much salt in the water. Try it again tomorrow morning with less salt (or more water). Good luck.

I vomited my SWF once and I was never able to do it again. I would start gagging as soon as the bottle touched my lips. I stick to laxative tea now.

Hi Everyone

I just ran 2.5 miles which was tough but I am glad I did it! I have some baby weight to get off since I had my third child in July. This cleanse and getting back to my RAW diet are my plans for being back to skinny healthy me by Christmas! I am on Day 5 and haven't lost any weight yet, but I recall that on my first MC that was how it went as well. I didn't lose any real weight until late in the cleanse and then most of it came off the month after when I was 100% RAW.

I feel for you guys who have such horrible detox symptoms. I am lucky because my diet is pretty clean to begin with so detox symptoms for me are just some cravings, mild headches, chills and boredom. I am looking forward to green smoothies and salads when my cleanse is done!

Happy Drinking!!

I'm guessing too much salt. I did that too last time and it only happened once. I can still do them but that was NOT pleasant. I actually waited and then drank another one. UGH. Well, did and hour and ten minutes of vinyasa yoga and now going to do a half hour of kickboxing. No major detox symptoms today. A few minor cravings: my friends meeting for a glass of wine tonight... but there's always more wine in the world. So, off to do a little kickboxing and then I'm over halfway through day 2. Hope everyone is doing well! Check in later.

Ugh, I almost fainted during my mammogram, of all things. Right now I'm feeling a little nauseous.
Anyone here ever felt lightheaded on MC. I have a feeling with every next MC I have less and less energy. I wonder if my body already knows what follows, though some internal memory, and starts preserving energy form day 1.

I'm on day 13 of my 3rd cleanse, and must say this one has been the easiest so far. But as with the other two, my sense of smell is off the hook. I work in an office building that has a lot of customers coming and going, and ugh......some smell so horrible! An co-worker's breath, especially after they have been drinking coffee - I'm trying to do as little interacting as possible!

Hoping to go 25 days this time; 1st time I went 15 days, 2nd time 20. Am missing chewing something, but I keep my strength knowing how wonderful I will feel once I get through it.

Only problem I have is drinking all the SWF each morning - I just get so full that I feel like I am going to burst. On weekends when I can take my time is the only time I finish it all, but it takes me about half an hour to do it.

The weekend is almost here - the easiest days for me. Hope everyone has a good one and keeps on juicing!!
