The Master Cleanse Site

I am doing surprisingly well for having lost 3 pounds and all sense of direction.  Seriously.

Day 3 has been a bit of a walk in the park, considering the multiple times I could have blown the ‘Cleanse’ without a second thought.  I stayed true to my goal, however, and turned my cheek on the free Arabian food buffet that my work offered for lunch today (did someone say free humus?).  Not only that, but it was ‘International Student Day’ at the university next door, and so every exhibit I visited had some tasty treat from each of the countries being represented.  I somehow managed to gracefully decline–despite the eagerness in the Chinese table’s eyes.  They wanted me to try some strange-looking rice cake as I looked on apologetically.

‘So sorry,’ I began, holding up my lemon juice concoction.  ‘I’m forcing myself to consume nothing but this for the next week!’

I’m not quite sure they understood what I was saying.  Might have thought me quite rude, now that I think about it…

But when I got home, I was feeling pretty good.  I began to question what it was–exactly–that may have been making me feel this way.  I opened up a trusty google page once again and typed ‘the benefits of lemons and cayenne pepper’.  After doing a bit of browsing, I was surprised to learn how beneficial these two elements are and have been to societies both past and present.  Who knew that lemon juice could prevent chapped lips?  And that cayenne pepper could bring people back from the dead?  Say, what?

Ok, so maybe I can’t always trust what I read on the internet, but what I read and what I myself have been experiencing seem to line up pretty well.  My skin feels softer and I feel lighter on my feet.  A little headache here and there, but with my second ‘Salt Water Flush’ soon to work its magic, I’m sure my pains will only be temporary.  3 day mark and I am good to go!

PS…  I had a small glass of juice because I ran out of lemons…  Is that cheating?
