Day 10

Weight 89kg (195.8)

Last day.

Have a few thoughts about the cleanse..... As far as being hungry goes, it is not great but after awhile you get used to it. I get fairly satisified by drinking the lemon mixture but amd getting tired of not eating. I suppose it is a good thing to be able to control your hunger a bit and not eat as soon as you feel hungry. We'll see if that's possible when I am off the cleanse.

I have lost 6.4 kgs (about 14lbs) in these ten days. Now, I did this cleanse to CLEANSE but also to lose a few lbs if possible. I definitely lost some weight but not necessarily off of the desired places. The cleanse, for me, was (is) a personal challenge as well. I wanted to see if I was capable of doing it again. Oh ya, it was also a good way to stay away from the booze for 10 days.

Will update after the first meal...

Day 9

weight 90.1 kg (198.2lb)

Just about there.....

The smell of the actual salt is really bad. When I open the cupboard to get the salt for the drink, it is all I can smell. One more of those to go.

I think I have come to the conclusion that being hungry is not all that bad but eating, for the pure enjoyment of having food, is what is missed (if that makes sense). I think I could easily go a few more days on this cleanse but really want to eat, to taste food. I am getting sick of only chewing ice cubes. The lemon drink itself is not all that bad really, but a bit of variety is needed.

The salt water seemed to have a slightly different affect on me today. It seemed to actually upset my stomach a bit...not the usual way. Still worked though....
