Day 11-Orange juice...

I made it through this day. It wasn't hard because I was SUPER busy and I still am. My soup is in the crockpot ready to be eaten tomorrow after my orange juice. I am drooling just thinking about it! YAY! A sun ji o!

Day 10-Starting off well...

Here I am. Day 10. I'm happy, but I am still dreading the last laxative tea during this fast. I am so excited to be able to buy my orange juice today! Yay!!! I am also looking forward to the delicious soup that I will be having on day 12! The recipe for the soup is in the Master Cleanse Book or PDF. Of course I will be adding some things and leaving some things out as needed. I am proud of myself regardless of how hard it was. I know it was good for my body. I will continue to do it for 10 days until I master 10 days and then I will go from there, but no need to worry about that. I am here. I am now. Day 10!!!

Day 9-Punk Wins---No sucha thang!

Iya Ajoke told me that there is no such thing as a punk win. It was cute at the time, but dammit now I understand! Here I am on day 9 and I am having a stand off with the freakin' sh!+ tea a.k.a. "Get Regular Tea". I would love to tell this tea where to go but alas I already dwell in the 7th circle of hell and don't want the tea to follow me!!!

I started off all serene this morning. I was all "divine feminine" and "one with the universe" and then my 7am client was late. GGGGRRRRRR!!!! I HATE WHEN PEOPLE ARE LATE! She said that she said 7ish. I missed that when we scheduled because I have to give permission for "ish" appointments. I let it ride and she said she would be here by 7:30. She was 3 minutes late for the 7:30, which would have been fine except that she was already late for the 7am. So that I am clear "ish" means that you are going to be a little late, 15 minutes max, 30 minutes meant that I could have stayed in the bed. I conveyed my feelings about my pet peeve being conjured and she told me the real story behind what was going on with her which, of course, I will not divulge.

Needless to say her story brought me back to earth because she is in a worse situation that I am and that quickly brought me back into focus. I will still say that day 9 is a beast. Day 10 will be like those little girls who stand there bouncing back and forth in front of the double dutch rope waiting to jump in. Day 11 is going to be a big ol' orange juice whosaaaaaa, Day 12 is gonna be a party!!!

Day 7-Sorry, I've been slack

Well, here I sit on day seven starting to feel my bratty-ness rearing it's head. Toward the end last time I didn't want to drink any of the lemonade at all. I got to the point that I just didn't want to be bothered with it and simply chose hunger. Spoiled right? Well, I am fighting against that now. I think I'm just bored. I love variety and this isn't getting it. Lemon and lime taste the same at this point and I don't care for either one. *chugs "lemonade" out of guilt*
I have to admit, however, that I feel fine physically. As a matter of fact I feel wonderful. All of my weird cravings are gone, though I can't wait to make vegan something with quinoa! OMG!!! I swear it is calling my name. Huh? Oh, I thought I hear something. Anyway, I just have 3 more days of , ugh, lemonade, then 2 more days of orange juice (maybe), and then 2 days of the recommended soup. No problem. Dang that soup sounds good right now. *salivating*
Okay so that's all for now. This is all about discipline and iwa pele and I am going to maintain both until the end. Ase.

Day 4-Headaches, soup, Master Cleanse PDF

I've had a headache today. Well, the headache isn't as bad as it was the last time, but it's here and has been here all day. I am able to deal with it because I am accustomed to full blown migraines. You have to count the little blessing I guess. I had enough energy to help paint my daughters room and do 2 clients so I am really happy about that.

Titus decided to come off of the cleanse a little early (sssshhhh don't tell him that I told you.) He did his day of orange juice today. I had to prepare his soup for tomorrow. I must admit that it was not made with love AT ALL!!! Nothing like cooking food when you can't even lick your fingers! The soup was so simple that he could have made it himself, but I make all the made-from-scratch-healthy-vegan-meals. I was really mad.

Last but not least. I sent my husband and others the MC PDF a long time ago before the fast began. He, like many people, didn't read it. He skimmed it tonight and learned a lot just from skimming. I cannot not emphasize this enough. READ THE PDF IN FULL!!!! This is a cleanse that needs to be done right or not at all.

What I miss most right now...

I know that you think that I am going to say that I miss some succulent delicacy. No. Strangely enough I miss my vinegar water and chlorophyll. I don't know what that's about, but that's what I miss. Of course I want to eat, but my life would be much more beautiful right now if I could chug some vinegar water and chlorophyll water. What is that about? lol

Day 3-UGH!

So yea...I woke up at 4 am. I mean wide awake. I said my prayers and such to prepare for my day. I went to the living room to drink my tea and watch Mandingo for the first time (OMG! That movie pissed me off! You gotta see it.) Around 6:30 my body remembered that we don't wake up at 4am and started to get sleepy, but I couldn't go to sleep because my niece and nephew were set to arrive at 7am. I am really tired, but I know that it will get better. I really wish that I had more time to lay down and really rest. Because Mr. Broom and I are doing the cleanse together it is really hard to just rest and relax because he doesn't know how to mix the lemonade. Usually because I mix it I also get his and mine. This has caused me to be a bit irritable. I have learned that I need to start the cleanse before he does the next time so that I can be into the good part by the time he starts.

I don't know if I mentioned this in the beginning, but I know I mentioned it the first time I did Master Cleanse because I read it on somebody else's blog. WARNING: If you are on MC please don't EVER assume that you just have gas. Your poop has been transformed to a liquid state that all the clenching in the world can't hold back. You WILL mess up your underwear if you assume you have gas. Now, because of this warning I have NEVER had a mishap, so consider yourself warned!


I really hope that you are able to try this cleanse and make it the entire journey. It is rewarding it two ways. You will feel a sense of achievement and you body will feel so much better!

The tea vs.The saltwater

First let me say that the right way to do the MC is to drink the saltwater in the morning. If you are truly unable to do this you are allowed to drink the laxative tea both morning and night. That being said there is a definite difference in the results and the speed at which you see results.

Saltwater-You will see/have almost immediate profound results. Once you have had said results you are pretty much done with bowel movements for the day in my experience.You are free to go where ever you like without having to preplanned the fastest routes to the cleanest restrooms.

Laxative tea-It takes longer to take affect. This is day two for me and I am just starting to have results that are the result of the tea. Btw, you will know if it is your regular poo or MC poo because the MC poo is more loose, a different color, and will have that cayenne tingle. lol If you are doing the tea morning and night I would suggest, as mentioned above, that you plot your routes according to clean accessible bathrooms if you plan on going out. After all you never know when it will kick in in the beginning.

I really hope this helps somebody. You can do this!

Day 2

Well, it's day two. Today, I am sore from my projectile vomiting yesterday. lol Other than that everything is fine. I still wish that I could tolerate the saltwater because it works so much better than the tea. :( I have to go to the homeschool co-op today so I'm hoping that I don't have any bowel issues. See, with the saltwater the bowel movements are much more predictable than with the tea and in actuality it makes it much easier. Mr. Broom did drink all of the saltwater and had excellent results.

The only thing that I messed up with is that I didn't drink enough lemonade before my tea last night and so I was really hungry. I just went to sleep.

Tomorrow is the day that my clients/friends will start the cleanse so hopefully since I will be on day 3 I will be of some assistance. I hope they call me for help because that actually helps me to cope a little better. Helping others helps the helper.

Day 1 Epic Fail

Yea so, the salt water? No go. It was worse than before. I don't know if it is mental or physical for me. At first I just couldn't get a decent amount of it down, then came the juicy mouth. You know how your mouth gets a drooly like a teething baby? Then you get the heevies? Yea. Running to the trashcan at 5:30ish in the morning just ain't cool. I learned something about myself though. I don't like to be alone and throwing up. It's really weird, because that's what I was thinking about the whole time--being alone and throwing up. Yes, the salt water tasted even worse coming back out, but all I could think about was being alone. Weird right? I just kept thinking, "Where is Titus?", but for once he wasn't there. :( The sadness was very strange. I've decided to go with prune juice although technically that isn't an option. I will probably chase it with tea and then on to the "lemonade". I'll let you all know how everything goes from there. So far, however, EPIC FAIL. I am just keeping in mind that throwing up is not the same as giving up. ;)

Round 2: Fall Equinox cleanse!

Well, I have th tea down and I'm ready to go for the morning. By the way, I am not using Smooth Move tea, I am using another brand. The brand is Yogi tea Get Regular. The last time I experienced major cramps, but this time everything is going well. My Iya told me that this brand has herbs that balance the senna that the other tea lacks. Once again, she is right. 


I am getting mentally prepared for the salt water. I am going to do this because it is good for my body.*I'm talking to myself*


This is a repost of the recipe for Master Cleanse:
2 quarts of distilled water
1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 cup or less of B grade maple syrup
1 pinch (give or take) of cayenne pepper

The Salt Water Flush
2 Tbsp of deionized Sea Salt
1 quart of distilled water

Senna Tea
Senna based tea
Distilled water

I am really reposting this so that it will be easy for me to find later. ;) 

Master Cleanse Sept 22. Let's get it!

Okay, so I have to redeem myself because I didn't keep my word that last time I said I was going to do the Master Cleanse. I simply couldn't stomach the thought of drinking salt water and I won't say why so that it doesn't affect anyone else and the tea gave me MAJOR cramps. I am going to replace both with organic prune juice since I have about the same reaction to prune juice as I do to the salt water. I am actually really excited this time. I don't know if I will invite anyone to do it with me again as I was so disappointed not to have the support of all the people that said they wanted to detox, get healthy, and lose wait. I did have one of my favorite clients come and we hung out and I told her everything I know about healthy living. She brought a delicious treat and I ate almost all of them. I made vegan and raw food dishes that were really good. I don't think I'll be doing that again. If I do invite people and they want a lot of information I will charge about $5 just to make sure that they are going to show up, because I have learned that people don't value what you give them for free.

I will be getting up between 4:30am and 5am every morning to drink the juice (about 16oz) and go back to bed and wait for it to work. That is a lovely little tidbit of advice I picked up from Ajoke (my sista/teacher/guide). I am going to make all of my lemonade the night before so that I don't have any excuses the next day. I will try to keep a light schedule with my clients because the first few days can be kinda rough to say the least. I am doing a minimum of 10 days, but if my body says so I will do 15-20. We'll see.
