There's the body I know so well. I actually gained weight. I don't understand how.....but I'm going to try to not let it discourage me as I continue this long journey. I know that losing 2 lb's per week is not exactly healthy, so I guess I should be glad about staying 176 lb's for another day......
It definitely helps to stay busy and to keep my body moving. I have noticed that I don't get the 'brain fog' anymore, I am able to stay fairly positive and focused on my tasks, and if I keep moving, keep busy, I feel great!
Well, as the day wound to a close and I was cooking dinner for the kids, I realized how much I miss eating dinner with the family. Dinner smelled delicious. Then I made these whole wheat, oatmeal, butterscotch bars for the kids.........AND I CHEATED!!!! It started out with an accidental lick of my fingers after the gooey bars got stuck to me when I was slicing them up, then....I just grabbed a piece and ate it, as well as having several more licks. I feel very remorseful now of course, and the aftertaste was definitely too sweet for me. Over the next hour I experienced mild abdominal cramping. I kind of like that my body didn't tolerate it.
So, at day 5, I am learning to stay positive and enjoy the positive side effects of The Master Cleanse. It is all to easy to just think about the food you are giving up and doubt the effectiveness of the cleanse. I am also learning that I need to be busy and be moving my body. I hope to make it to the gym tomorrow. Lastly, normally I would obsess about cheating and worry my weight loss chances are ruined, I have decided to not think about it anymore and hopefully be determined enough to make it the remaining 5 days without cheating...... (There is a small part of me that's anxious to see what the scale says the morning).
