This is an update for Wednesday (Day 2) and Thursday (Day 3)...

Wednesday 7:00am
I woke up and realized that I only finished half my liter from the previous night...CRAP! My only source of nourishment and here I am leaving half of it on the bed.  I don't feel risque enough to try my chances with the salt water flush this morning.  Let's just see how today moves along.

7:45am
Just finished making my first liter of the day.  It's actually quite a welcoming taste this morning.  That's a pleasant surprise.  I think my body will take anything that provides sustenance and keeps me  moving at this point.

11:15am
Getting really hungry! My boss (who isn't aware of my cleanse)  just asked me to go pick up his food for him because he has back to back meetings again =(.  BE STRONG GINA! YOU CAN DO THIS!.

1:30pm
Got my boss' food without trying to gnaw my arm off (thanks Aaron.)  For my lunch, Aaron and I walked around in Barnes and Noble to waste time and not think about food and now I'm back at work.  I'm mixing up my second liter, woohoo!  I think I'm starving to death at this point.  Hunger tends to come in waves, as do my moments of weakness.  Hopefully if I chug some of this I will be able to fight off the evil monster that continues to eat away at my self control!

4:00pm
Almost 2/3 of the way done with liter #2 (HOORAY!) Today has actually been quite easy compared to day one.  I think the caffeine withdrawals have began to subside and now I'm on an upward climb.  I still have a bit of energy left in  me and my mood has managed to stay somewhat delightful.

9:00pm
Finished liter #3, watched GLEE and now off to slumberland.  Cheers!

Thursday 7:00am
Mixed my "Salt Water Flush" this morning, GAG!!! It tasted like I just gulped 32oz of the Pacific Ocean...VOLUNTARILY! 

8:00am
Not going into details, but haven't gone far from the bathroom for the last hour.  And I don't think it's even close to over. @_@

9:00am
At work, doing well.  Mixed my first liter for the day and I have a fairly positive outlook.  Here goes nothing!

The Master Cleanse...

10:41am
Okay so...at 10pm last night I drank my, "Herbal Laxative Tea" in preparation for the Master Cleanse.  That stuff is no joke.  I woke up today due to a sudden urgency to greet my bathroom, in a not so pleasant encounter.  After all is said and done, I continued the morning feeling extremely positive and strong, "I CAN DO THIS!" As I am now entering hour number four it is safe to say that I'm hungry and I've drank about 15 oz of my lemonade already.  Lethargy is beginning to take it's toll as well.  That's probably due to the lack of my life blood, caffeine.  Hopefully, this cleanse will help me break away from the terrible daily demons that possess and fog my senses. 

2:28pm
So I almost caved twice...right now my outlook is rather bleak.  I feel as if my stomach has retracted itself to the back of my spine.  I've drank about 40oz so of "lemonade" so far and I'm still starving.  A raging headache hit me about an hour ago, but it's slowly subsiding.  I've pretty much had a freebie all day, a nice "buzz" you could say (aside from the nausea.)  I wouldn't say I am dizzy, but I'm definitely not stable.  Did I mention I'M STARVING!! This stupid cleanse will not defeat, not today.  I will finish my ten days!!!

5:30pm
So I'm getting off work now.  I still have a third of my second liter left and not happy about drinking another full liter when I get home.  I JUST WANT TO SLEEP! I feel like all the energy is being sucked out of me.  I think my friend Malena put it best, "I feel like I've drank a bottle of Sudafed."  Lightheaded, disoriented, random dizziness.  Ugh!

7:00pm
Aaron is signing the lease on our new apartment tonight (YAY) and then stopping by the store to pick up water for me to make my third and final liter for the evening! My stomach is doing cartwheels and I'm still sooo tired. *grumble grumble grumble*

8:15pm
Finally!  Aaron made it home and was sweet enough to mix up my final liter for me. I don't think I'm going to be able to chug this whole thing before I give in to the sleep that is overtaking me. @_@

Tuesday, my friend.

Well today is proving to be quite a good day.   I don't want to jinx it, but it's just been so long since I've been able to say that.  I'm still working on self improvement (inside and out).  Today my roommate and one of my BFF's Aaron solidified a move in date to our new two bedroom apartment, drum roll please......SEPT 15th!!! One big hurdle down, a million more to go.  Thankfully everyone at my new job has been amicable and seem to be genuinely wonderful people.  *whew*  I will be back in a bit, my lunch is over and it's time to get back to the grind.  Check back soon, I hope to have up a few poems from the past.  Namaste to all ♥

I'm back, a little later =)  Started painting again tonight.  I think I'm addicted.  I guess I could be addicted worse...come to think of it I have been.   I will post pics as soon as I'm done.  Hopefully I can get my digi camera fixed to post works in progress.

Till tomorrow my friends.
