Post master cleanse

I'm finally sitting down to put together a review of our master cleanse. We've been so incredibly busy lately and I just haven't sat at the computer to type it up. I got smart and realized that maybe there was an app for blogger and I could do everything from my phone.....what do you know? There is! :) I really loved doing the cleanse mostly to prove to myself that I can do it! And I lost 15 lbs. So I was extremely excited about that! I started easing out on Day 7. My goal was 10 days but I had a sore throat and the lemon juice and cayenne pepper were fiery scalding pain going down. Friday, I didn't drink much lemon juice because of the pain, and I found myself getting really shaky and dehydrated. So Saturday morning I tried watering the juice down but it still hurt. Jeremy had started easing out Saturday morning and so I decided to do the same. Looking back, I quit at a really awful time. We had a breakfast at the church Sunday morning, had a lunch appointment with a potential worship leader, Monday was Noah's birthday parry followed by a family cookout, and I started my cycle Saturday. All those things conspired against me (along with my lack of self control) and I have since gained back 8 lbs. :( As soon as we started eating again, J had some diarrhea. But me? Nothing for four days and one and a half weeks later, I'm still having issues. So I figure four to five pounds are just from that problem. I was planning on continuing to drink the herbal laxative tea twice a day, but I had started drinking red  rasberry leaf tea three times a day and man, that's just a lot of tea for a girl that doesn't even like hot tea! I'm from the deep south where tea is sweet and cold, and that other stuff is barely tolerated. I plan on trying for another ten days after my birthday this weekend. Jeremy is taking me to a Thai restaurant my mother in law is making me chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting and sprinkles and so I'll probably start back Sunday. I've actually quit taking my rasberry tea because it's not really helping my insulin issues so I'm going to start back on metformin and hopefully get my sugar under control. Typically during my cycle I have a really hard time with my sugar dropping too low, but I only had one day out of my nine day cycle where I felt yucky. And of course, I attribute that to having just done the cleanse. Can't wait to start it back!
