Day 4

Today was just an average day. My energy wasn't as high as it has been, but on the other hand I didn't feel like I needed coffee to make it through the day. I have a small lump in the roof of my mouth, far back. I think it is a swollen gland, it doesn't hurt though. I have noticed my mind feels more clear. I feel organized when doing routine activities which is cool.

A few people at work were giving me crap about what I am doing, telling me I am stupid and being unhealthy. One person even told me they got really sick from doing a cleanse. I explained why I was doing it, not as a crash diet, like she was. No one really listened to me. I got pretty annoyed and discouraged but I decided I'm just going to ignore people who are judgemental about this because I feel good and I know I am doing it the right way. I have only heard good reviews from people who have completed a Master Cleanse before today. She did her own type- one from a box and some apply cider drink. No wonder she almost lost her gall bladder. Their pessimism did make me falter in my decision for a moment, so I researched side effects of a clease. They all were pretty good side effects, none really negative. I did notice one thing that warned not to take Senna Leaf, the tea I've been drinking at night, for more than 7 days or you can have bad permanent side effects on your colon. So I decided I'm not going to drink it every night.

I went to Whole Foods at lunch to buy more maple syrup, but they were out of Grade B, so I have to try the other one tomorrow. Fun fact, if Whole Foods doesn't have what you want, they try to GIVE you something similar, for free. I told the gentleman no thank you, because I want to do this the right way. But, how cool is that? I also got very excited about buying healthy food once I am through with this. I have to admit I lingered by the hot Indian take out bar for awhile though..

I am going to go watch Big Love because I napped instead yesterday, but as a closing comment... I weighed myself this morning even though I know I shouldn't have so soon and I lost 2 lbs. That's good for only 3 full days, it means toxins are really leaving my system.
