The Master Cleanser: Day 4
4 a.m. seems to be the magic hour for this cleanse. I woke up again and relieved myself. Unfortunately, I have been trying for months to teach my cat that 5 a.m. is not her feeding time, but that it’s really at 8 a.m. When I get up at 4 a.m., she’s all giddy. When I climb back into bed without feeding her, she plots her revenge. This morning, after I had fallen back asleep, she sat on my stomach, which caused me to awaken uncomfortably.
Today was like yesterday with the cleanse. It wasn’t too difficult to get through the day. I drank 9 cups of lemonade. I spent most of today reading The Silence of the Lambs, which I just really wanted to read for some reason. I went out and bought another 2 dozen lemons. I also bought some limes and will try making a limeade instead of lemonade tomorrow. I felt weak at times today, but not unusually so. It felt more like laziness. I stayed up a bit late last night reading and I had no real plans for the day. I went to my yoga class and it wasn’t tougher than usual to get through it. I usually go to class not having eaten anything within 3 hours beforehand. This time, I went in not having eaten anything within 3 days beforehand. After the class, I took one of the yogi teas that they always serve at the end. I held it up to my nose to let the aroma in, but after a few sniffs, I wasn’t interested. I drank some water instead.
