I am on a cleanse called the “Master Cleanse” and I have not ate a single meal since two Sundays ago (October 2, 2011 to be exact). Of course my post would be about food because ONE: Food is the only thing on my mind these days, and TWO: Food is like, awesome.

I am doing this cleanse because I want to try to start eating healthier. I figured that it would be best to cleanse my body from all the waste and toxins, and start fresh. Basically throughout these ten days I had to drink 60oz, or more, of pure organic lemon juice, grade b maple syrup, cayenne pepper and filtered water. Today is my tenth day, and I couldn’t be any more proud of myself. So far I have lost ten pounds, and I want to keep going.

The meal that keeps springing up in my mind throughout this cleanse is the chicken salad from Chipotle. YUM YUM YUM YUM!!!!! Oh, and shrimp pasta. YUM times 1,000! I can not wait to eat this salad, I seriously have never craved salad like this before.

But even though I want to eat healthier, I feel like this new diet plan I have for myself is deleting a chunk of my life that really does makes me happy.

BUT I am really really proud that I made it through this cleanse. Seriously, can you go ten whole days without eating anything?  I bet many couldn’t even last two days. Trust me, even on my first day I was ready to give up.

Well after I do the Ease out method, I should be eating regular meals by this Saturday-Sunday. The ease out method is just a way to get me back to eating normally again. I can’t just eat this salad right away because my body is not used to food, so I have to ease into it. By the time our class meets on Thursday, I should be drinking pure orange juice as a part of the ease out method, and on Friday I will be eating soup, mostly the broth (which I am really excited for). I am really happy with this torture I put myself through for the past ten days, and even happier for it to end! Yay me! =)
