Master Cleanse ~ Day 7!!

Okay, so I made it throughout the weekend. My honey was talking about getting chicken wings for the fam while we watched the Super Bowl, but between the dot and not eating, if I so much as saw someone gnawing on a chicken wing around me....well needless to say chicken wings were not had last night.

This was the first time I've looked forward to a Monday. Because I have ten million other things to do at work I'm not thinking about the fact that I can't eat. So it definitely makes things easier. (I'm also waiting on my Blended Beauty package from Sista's Place and my goodies from Oyin Handmade, which should all ship out this week so that was another thing to look forward to.)

But yesterday was cool, because before watching the game (HAHAHAH WE WON GO GIANTS GO GIANTS!!!) my honey's daughter and I played the Wii. Ahhh, tennis, bowling and boxing, all of which I swore up and down I sucked at, but lo and behold, I did manage to win each game a few times. And of course my arms are paying dearly for it today. But it was fun! Makes me want to run out and exercise, can't wait till it gets warm. I'M GETTING A BIKE!! I don't care, this payday we're going out to find me a bike.

Oh yes, I'm digressing. Here are some tips for the Master Cleanse that Stanley Burroughs does *not* tell you about!

1. Lime juice tastes better than the lemon juice.

2. Because you are not eating, you may have the urge to gulp your lemonade/limeade. DON'T!!! I chugged some this morning, and between an empty stomach and the cayenne pepper, I didn't know whether to sh*t or go blind. It wasn't very pleasant to say the least, so don't do that. EVER.

3. Senna tea can takes HOURS to work. Brew that badboy soon as you get home, steep it for awhile and then take it. Don't drink it right before you go to bed or you will be mad the next morning.

4. If you eat candy while doing this fast, you are setting yourself up for some major pain. Ask me how I know.

Until then kiddies....I guess I'll start doing some hair stuff on here, reviews and whatnot. It's about time I do.
