Day 1: Master Cleanse (PM)

It's evening time...

Today is day one of two to ease into this cleanse.

Not sure how good of a start we're getting off to. We had the lemon fiasco this morning. I wasn't able to make our first batch of lemonade until noon today so we pretty much fasted the whole morning. With the mood I'm in today, I haven't even felt up to even drinking anything today. I made the lemonade in hopes of stirring my appetite a little bit, but the lemonade doesn't taste as great as I remembered when I tried a bit of it before. I like spicy foods, but the cayenne pepper is very strong. All day I was only able to get down 4 oz of it. And the maple syrup does leave a really weird aftertaste in your mouth.

We ate a normal dinner consisting of a Safeway select sandwich. Not once has my stomach growled today and I'm not really craving anything, though I think my experience is compromised due to my emotional state today. So we shall see how tomorrow goes. Our plan for tomorrow is to have the lemonade and water and teas and have only fresh fruits and veggies for dinner.

I think I might try something different with the lemonade. I'll try taking the cayenne pepper in a shot glass of water and see if the lemonade tastes better without it. My mouth was burning after a few gulps of the normal lemonade with it.

I'm pretty tired as well, but again, I think that has everything to do with my mood today and outside factors not in relation to the diet.
