Day 5: Yay! I slept in today

Weight loss: 8 pounds
Attitude: Good! I'm doin' good! To be completely honest, I have my moments each day I am on this cleanse, where I want to throw in the towel, but I can't ignore the awesome way I feel. Every time I "eliminate" stuff comes out. And since I haven't eaten anything for 5 days (other than the lemonade drink) it has to be the built up toxins coming out. It's exciting every morning to see that I have lost some more weight. I feel thinner in my clothes and I do have plenty of energy during the day.

I didn't wake early this morning at 4:30 am (like I have been doing) for some reason. It was really nice being able to sleep all the way through the night.

I got up around 7:45 am - took some time getting up - and then had "the urge" around 8:00. It was sort of nice, I sort of felt in control.

About 20 minutes ago I had my saltwater. Today I did some EFT and it wasn't as hard. I am trying to beat my moms new record - YES SHE HAS SET A NEW SALTWATER RECORD - of 2 minutes. The woman amazes me!!
I was able to get it all down in exactly 3 minutes. I rock!!

It would have been done in 2 minutes, but the last 8 ounces I got that yucky "I'm gonna puke my guts out!!!" feeling, and I had to take a minute to regroup and convince myself I was going to be okay. haha

I was telling my mom on the phone yesterday that for some reason when I am drinking the salt water, sometimes it will trickle out the sides of my mouth. I agree with her that this is some form of "physical resistance" from my body. This, fortunately, did not happen today. If it does in the future, I will just EFT it away!

Yesterday I had 6 glasses of the lemon drink. Six to 7 glasses seems to be my limit. If I get hungry, I have another. Also, I am still drinking plenty of water in between lemon drinks.

I didn't have to fix Paul dinner last night because his work bought food for everyone yesterday and he had a bunch of food. So that was a nice break from temptation. As a snack, I later prepared some strawberries for him. He likes strawberries with sugar.

Anyway, I will have my first lemon drink for today in about an hour... day 5, here I come!
