Day 5

Okay, so I have almost finished day 5 of the lemonade detox. Wow. That means I have now gone 5 days without eating. So...what effects has this had on me? Well, today I didn't want to get out of bed, mainly because I didn't feel I had any reason to. My tongue is now completely white. My teeth won't get clean no matter how much brushing, flossing, mouth washing and teeth scraping I seem to do. All of that stuff is pretty bad! But, on a brighter note, I have lost a few pounds and inches. My toes look skinnier, my hands, wrists, shoulders and ribs feel different. I know that it is probably just water weight, but my body does feel different and despite my lack of enthusiasm for my life at the moment, I do have some great energy.

I'm trying not to psych myself out about me only being halfway done with this. So, five more days of the lemonade concoction and then I will have a day of orange juice and 2 days of vegetable broth/soup.

I tried this detox twice before and the first time I made it halfway through day five and decided that I was tired of lemonade and wanted hot and sour soup. The second time I only made it 3 days and decided that I never wanted to do this again. I have always known that I have amazing will power, but I am very proud of myself for making it this far. Tomorrow is a new day! Once I finish tomorrow, I will be on the downward slope to victory. Keep me encouraged y'all!
