scarfer

OK, so I want to clear something up from my first post... I am not doing this as a diet, I know it has the added benefit of losing weight, and I welcome that fact, but the main reason I am doing this is, first a test of my will power. Every so often I like to test my ability to keep control of my addictions and vices. In 2000 I stopped smoking two packs of cigarettes a day and went cold turkey. In 2004 I stopped drinking alcohol of any form for 6 months. Now, I am doing a 10 day cleanse. Third, I have read enough about this, and that the need to cleanse out your colon, and to give your body a full chance to chase out all the free toxins is a positive idea. Also it seems like a good idea for me to kick off getting back into the gym and eating right. I know my personality, and once I achieve something difficult I tend to keep on the right path.

So the Lemonade doesnt taste all that bad. The first reaction is that it tastes like lemonade with syrup in it. The second reaction is, Holly Shit! That is when the spice of the cayenne pepper kicks in. It wasnt difficult to drink after the first few ounces, but I can see how a week from now I will get tired of the taste and want something more substantial. I became a little hungry half way through the day, but I would say that it was more of a craving for the french fries I was smelling at the tournament then actual hunger. I have had a small headache that I can contribute to no caffeine, and coming from someone who easily drinks 12 cups a day, it was to be expected. All in all day 1 was uneventful and I am curious to see how day 2 goes.

8 days to go.
