The Master Cleanser: Day 5
I made two separate batches today, one lemonade and one limeade. I definitely like the limeade better. It’s less sweet and has more of a “cool” taste to me. When I’m making regular run-of-the-mill lemonade, I usually like to do half lemons and half limes for the juice, so it’s no surprise that I like the limeade. For the second half of the cleanse, I may switch to just limeade, although I still have a dozen lemons lying around.
Today was another easy day on the cleanse. Easier because I didn’t wake up at 4 a.m. I woke up at 7 a.m., and I didn’t need to hop up right away to the bathroom. I finished reading Silence of the Lambs and went to the library to get Hannibal. I know Red Dragon is the first book, but it’s not at my usual libraries. So, I just got Silence of the Lambs for the instant gratification. (And it was, I read the book in less than 3 days.)
I went to the thrift store with the scales again, and to my surprise, most of the scales that I weighed myself on before I started the cleanse were still there. Unfortunately, I didn’t remember which scale weighed me in at what weight before, except for the electronic calibrated one. That one weighed me in at 135.0 lbs 5 days ago. Today, I weighed in at 134.0 lbs. Have I lost only 1.0 lb on the cleanse in 5 days? I weighed myself under similar circumstances. Same clothes, shoes, plus an empty stomach. I’ve been following the cleanse religiously, and I go to the bathroom regularly.
Anyhow, perhaps that explains why I’m handling the cleanse so well. Although, it doesn’t explain it, either.
