Day 6: Master Cleanse (PM)

I forgot to do a mid day entry, but not too much has happened differently from this afternoon. I've been hungry. I have not been drinking the water that I should be, but my lemonade for the day is almost gone. My stomach isn't growling right now, but off and on all day it has really been telling me I'm hungry.

I'm still craving a burger, or you know? I'd take anything I could just bite into and chew for a bit. Cucumber, banana, kiwi, tomato, grapes...I've also been craving jalapeno poppers, tuna salad sandwich, peanut butter honey banana sandwich, fried egg and toast, bagel and cream cheese, brisket, chicken noodle soup, tomato soup with a grilled cheese sandwich, mashed potatoes and gravy, and even some new recipes I've never really cared to try before but look really delicious now.

Dang...now I made myself hungry again. Like...not just craving and thinking I'm hungry...I mean tummy grumbling hungry.

I'm still surprised that I'm not dying of starvation only ingesting 60 oz of liquid all day, but my body is functioning completely normal.

I'm still motivated: Only 4 more days to go. That's when I think the real work shall begin. I mean, I can't let myself digress back into poor eating habits, and I have this long list of foods I crave, and It'll take weeks to get through mine and Jeremy's list of craved foods; we need to keep moderation in our vocabulary during those weeks. Not only moderation, but gym needs to be in our daily lives if this thing is going to keep working.

We probably won't ever do this again, but it's definitely a great experience and I'm glad we're doing it. It's a great first step towards a much healthier lifestyle. I admit, we will still have the occasional piece of chocolate cake and eat out at restaurants when we're not on Kodiak, but I think having gone through this intense of a cleanse, we won't want to lose what we worked so hard to achieve.
