Master Cleanse, Day 1...again

I'm doing it again!  It's my first day of the Master Cleanse for the second time and I'm feeling pretty similar to the first time--a little light-headed and weak.  Kickball should be interesting tomorrow...

I started the day off with some Detox tea that I took last time and I've been steadily drinking my lime/agave/cayenne concoction since I got to work.  For lunch I had a cup of orange flavored tea.  That's quelling the hunger pains pretty well.

My goals this go-a-round are obviously to cleanse my body of the toxins I put into it on a daily basis and to neutralize my palette once more so that I'm not so addicted to dairy products and sweets.  Since I'm lactose intolerant this is a very good thing for my stomach, and the sweets, as everyone knows, are incredible unhealthy anyway. 

Last time I lost 20 pounds and gained back 10, which is supposed to be right on target and pretty normal.  I lasted 6 or 7 days (I don't recall off the top of my head) and I hoping to last at least 10 days this time.  I also need to get in gear for my friends' wedding because it'll be here sooner than we know it and I'd like to comfortably, not snugly, fit into my dress.  I think 20 pounds or so will do the trick and if I lose 10 with the cleanse then I can lose a pound or two a month until June and be good to go!

I already miss chewing...

Funny little coincidence: The Master Cleanse usually doesn't get into the news but some actor named Blair Underwood recently did the cleanse for some quick weight loss.
