Can this be? The scales show I lost 10 lbs in 6 days!

That’s amazing to me, even if it is water weight!

I have now lost more water weight in 6 days than in 40 days on the Master Cleanse (and every other cleanse I was on).

Last night, I only got up once to relieve myself and there was much less liquid than before. I must have eliminated the really excess bloating and water weight at the start of the detox. That was probably the easy part. Real weight loss may go a little slower from now on.

My legs feel even lighter and more flexible today. While there are still see dark areas around the ankles, things have really lightened up a lot.

I can now touch and poke my calves AND ankles without pain, and can flex my right ankle without pain. That’s a really incredible difference for only 6 days!

But I’m definitely still cleansing a lot. By mid-day, I felt extremely tired. After doing some grocery shopping (for spinach, celery, tomatoes and cucumbers, of course) I returned home exhausted.

The nice lunch salad revved me, but not for long. A dull pervasive pain settled in under my right shoulder blade and spine. I found myself hunching my shoulders because of it, and was tired and cranky by evening.

Ah, the joys of detoxing!

I have to remind myself to be grateful for the cleansing, since I am going to feel much better in the long run. There’s clearly a deep process of “cleaning out” that my body is undertaking, and I need to respect it.

This is what I want in the long run, after all. Plus, I started the process with the detox diet. So its best to not complain over temporary discomfort.

I need to be thanking my body for doing such a good job. Look at progress in my legs! My body is behind me all the way. I think showing as much gratitude as possible is in order here.
