Well, last months attempt at no alcohol lasted only about 10 days, haha! But at least I kept the exercise going! However, Angela brought to my attention a detox called "Master Cleanse or the Lemonade Diet". I did my research online and ordered and read the book.
Today is the first day of ten on this detox diet. For 10 days I only drink a concoction of lemon juice, maple syrup, water and chili powder. While searching online I saw quite a variety of how hard the diet gets around the 5th-6th day, but I am determined to see it through for the health benefits. And I will try to chronicle my adventures.
So after a big night out before going on the plan I went to work with my first bottle of lemonade. I quickly finished the bottle and realized that I should have brought at least 2, as one was not enough for 5 hours. Instead I drank a lot of water to keep my stomach feeling full. But by the end of workday I was feeling low on power and really craving a smoke. But then I got home made a new bottle and all was fine again.
