I got 9 hours of sleep last night which felt WONDERFUL! I woke up feeling ambitious and excited about the results so far. However, because I slept so long and then sat up in bed watching a show while I drank the salt water (which I was able to do without hesitations), I had a hard time getting motivated to get things done the rest of the day.
I started feeling a little nauseous early on in the day, and to my disappointment noticed that the lemonade had lost its appeal. The last 2 drinks I had yesterday, also was a bit stale tasting. I wondered if the latest batch of lemons I had bought at Walmart were bad. So I went to Lin's and got some new lemons, which thankfully put that freshness and zing back into the lemonade. I am glad I didn't start out with the bad lemons, I don't think I would have endured past the first day. I don't know how to tell a good lemon from a bad lemon, so I will just be sure not to buy them from Walmart again :)
The kids got some chips and candy bars at the store, and for a moment, I was extremely tempted to have a bite. I held my daughters Twix bars and almost put my nose directly on it while I inhaled deeply. The smell was divine! I did the same to the Doritos. Somehow, enjoying the smell, in a strong dose like that, helped satisfy my cravings.
In someways, it feels like I've been on this cleanse forever, and this being Day 4, is a bit discouraging. I still have a LONG road ahead of me. I feel great I the mornings, but evenings are getting hard. My skin has more of a freshness to it, but... I'm still waiting for the "great", "awakening" feeling people have described while on the Master Cleanse. I know that getting more sleep would probably help immensely, so I'm hoping that within the next few days I will feel "great".
