Yesterday I bought everything I need for the Master Cleanse. We went to Healthy Options and got Smooth Move (laxative), pure maple syrup, and cayenne pepper. Yep. Today is officially Day 1 of the cleanse. I’m actually quite psyched about it that I actually got up early and did a bit of exercise then I went on to prepare my lemonade.

Last night I already started drinking the laxative. It wasn’t really bad. I decided to skip the salt water flush today and drank another cup of the laxative tea. Now my stomach’s acting funny. Tolerable, but I guess I should start with the cleanse earlier so I could finish my business before I go to work.

As for the lemonade, I prefer mine cold. It tastes fine except for the occasional spiciness because of the cayenne pepper. In my first 8 oz. glass, I accidentally put more than a pinch of the cayenne so it had a little more kick. I’ve already adjusted it to suit my taste. I read that cayenne pepper is important because it breaks up mucous and acts as a cleanser for the digestive, respiratory, and circulatory systems.

It’s a couple past noon and I’m drinking my third glass. So far so good. I’m not hungry yet. I even accompanied Ali to a fast food restaurant this morning for breakfast and I didn’t have the urge to order anything. I just hope I can keep this up. I still have 9 days to go. Wish me luck.
