My final day


Well, I'm kind of sad, but I am out of lemons........Tomorrow I am on to my oranges! Oranges seem like almost a feast. And then on Friday night I will get to have some homemade vegetable soup - but I'm supposed to eat mostly just the broth and a few vegetables with rye wafers. It sounds like the best thing in the world. It is funny - night time is when I want to stop the cleanse, but often in the morning, I don't feel like stopping.

I feel like I am actually free once more. Free of my sugar cravings. Now maybe the next time I call Dad about some ailment and he asks me, "How is your sugar intake?" I can say, "It is fine! What is sugar?!" I am very excited to start getting back into better shape now. The "free" weight loss (about 17 lbs.) is nice, but I am determined to lose my lbs. the real way by eating right and exercising. I really want to have better overall health - and for a long time, not just for now. I need to keep up with my kids!

Side note: since I dropped the cayenne, Luke seems to be doing much better. Poor guy :) He's eating again and not burping so much. I think he got his "own little cleanse" - but I won't talk about why I think that...........

Using lemons to cleanse your system? Hmm...intriguing. You know Koreans use Kimchi for that. It also purges you of evil spirits. Honest.
