Day #1

Well, it's official. I began this morning with the lovely salt water flush (that about made me gag!) yikes. But other than that, the rest of the day has been pretty smoothe. No stomach cramps, no major cravings, nothing different than what one normally would go through on fast Sunday (except that this time I get to drink all day long!)

The lemon juice is actually very tasty! Some of you may be familiar with what I call the "Mexican Thera-Flu" which consists of hot water, lemons, and honey. We have drank this stuff hundreds of times--and lo and behold--it's the same thing! We just replace the honey with real organic maple syrup--it's even better that way (but more expensive!) What I wasn't prepared for, however, was the cayenne pepper you put in it. It asks for a small dose (1/10 tsp) but even that was enough to about put me through the roof! haha So I now simply add a dash or two and that seems to do the trick. The pepper is there to break up the mucus in the system, so I need at least a little.

Anyway, that's it for today. More tomorrow :)
