The Cleansing: Day 6

  • It's kind of mundane now. I'm beginning to get tired of cutting lemons, mixing lemons, and drinking a concoction made of lemons.
  • The worst part about Saturday was the loss of the simple joy of eating. When you don't have to plan for lunch or dinner, it kind of makes for a blah kind of day.
  • But to say I'm starving would be a lie. A slight hunger pain, but really no big deal.
  • Some one wrote the I should enjoy the journey instead of looking towards the end. That's probably pretty good advice.
  • I jogged yesterday with no issues. Actually felt pretty good.
  • Many people who do the program claim that by this point they "have more energy than ever" by this point. Although I don't feel bad, I don't find that to be true.
  • I started this thing so abruptly that my refrigerator is still full of tempting food. I get to see that every time I open it to get water.
  • That Fiji bottled water is kind of expensive -- but it comes in one quart containers which is perfect for my mixtures.
  • Once I get off this thing, I'm thinking of starting Nutrisystems. That will seem like an all you can eat buffet.
  • My Dallas text nemesis resurfaced last night at 8:47 p.m.: "Snuffers cheese fries and lots of beer."
Mood: Resigned but positive Feeling: A tad bit lethargic Weight loss: 5.0 lbs.

I drink Fiji when I am away from home. The square bottles are annoying because the cup holders in my car and EVERYWHERE are ROUND. I have a reverse osmosis system at the house and it makes the tap water taste virtually indistinguishable from Fiji. The best part is that I no longer have to haul drinking water into the house.

Barry, I hope you are getting minerals somewhere because the diet sounds like it will deplete normal blood serum levels and definitely intracellular levels. As for bottled water, it may lack trace minerals found in water from wells. As for reverse osmosis used by 9:05, it removes minerals such as calcium and magnesium as well as trace minerals. This makes for a health risk(check this out). The World Health Organization has published information on this. Heart attacks are more frequent in people living east of the Mississippi River than those living west of the river because people in the West get more minerals in their water.

You would have already lost 10 pounds on Slim Fast. I did it for two weeks and lost 13 pounds and it is much healthier than what you're doing.
