This is about me and my weight loss journey. I am not only losing weight, but I'm also removing toxins from my body. Post my diet, I will be following a structured healthy way of eating, which I have been following before the Master Cleanse or Maple Syrup Diet. The thing is, I'm not exactly fat - but I have gained quite a bit of weight which I would like to lose. During my 1st cleanse I managed to lose 22.5lbs /10.2 kg and learn a lot. I'm into my third cleanse now.

| 21 Day Cleanse - DAY 9 |
Now I feel like I need to rant, even if just for a minute!
My monthly periods are done with but my weight loss .......................... where's all the water that I was retaining? I was expecting a huge drop and there's nothing.
Sadly my dandelion is not here either so I can't take any.
I have lost weight since the yesterday - about 0.6 kg to be precise. That is my usual weight loss anyway (per day). So at the moment I am 57.4 kg - roughly 126.5 lbs. Sounds good, but I am short AND STILL have 16 lbs to get rid of!!!
During the whole cleanse this time, I have lost 4.6 kg / lbs about 10 lbs in 8 days instead of 4.8 kg / 10.6 lbs. Actually, having made the calculations, I think I am just ranting about nothing since there's only a small difference!
I hope I continue to lose at this rate and not stall, and that means I will have to finish on day 21, Monday 1 Dec.
Sunday = 55 kg / 121 lbs
Wednesday = 53 kg / 116.8 lbs
Saturday = 51 kg / 112.4 lbs
Tuesday = 49.2 kg / 108.5 lbs
I hope it is quicker than this because I really want to eat. I'm not particularly hungry but I get tired easily and just want food. If I had to eat now though I wouldn't even know what to eat because I can't imagine eating anything other than drinking the juice.
I want food food food - this is just my mind playing with me - it's strange because I don't know what food. Anyway, that's it for today. I hope I will blog on Sunday with an update on my weight loss. My mini goal 55 kg / 121 lbs - let's do this! |

| 21 Day Cleanse - DAY 7 |
As I'm writing this, I am kind of wishing I was writing "day 20" or something. It's long tough road.
This morning I went to the gym - again! I did as much as I could so I'm happy. I dropped to 58.6 kg - it's really going slowly, but then again I am still on my monthly. I looked a few things up yesterday and I founf that dandelion is good and works as a natural duiretic which is fantastic for that time of the month. So I will order it and wait till Wednesday to drink the tea or whatever because I don't want to be looking for public loos when I'm out and about.
I also found Chasteberry extract which is a "hormone balancer" and is good for heavy and painful periods - so that might come in handy after the cleanse. I will be buying more syrup because I just realised that I will run out even though I have 2 more bottles. I am actually using agave this time round. I am also getting myself some probiotics for when I finish. I know it's a long way, but when I really think about it, Next week Friday is day 18 - day 18 people! And it seems so close but so far away.
Next week I will preparing my meal plans and so on, it's all VERY exciting. I daren't think about food right now because I will just get myself in quite a state. I think on Friday next week I will make my list in preparation for shopping at the weekend, because Sunday will be day 20. As I said before, I'm not sure IF I should pull through to day 21 - for instance if I have met my weight target. But there's a part of me that just wants to go to 21 days for the sake of it and that feeling of achievement.
I will see how it goes, but it's very exciting. Seems like early days but I tihnk I will be done in no time. I think I will update this blog on Friday (day 11) or Sunday (Day 13) I want to get my mind off this cleanse for a bit and focus on other things, I think that will help me stay stronger. |

| 21 Day Cleanse - DAY 6 |
I don't know if I should laugh or cry. My period is here as I probably mentioned, and this means I am retaining water - about 5 lbs of it. The scales are not going down much and infact I gaine weight the other day. So far I am down to 59 kg including the retained water, which should mean that I am actualy 56.6 kg and with 4 more days left till day 10 then on Friday I should weigh 53. 8 kg on Friday morning. And on Wednesday 26th morning, I should weigh 50.3 kg and another 3 days should mean I will have met my goal, that is allowing for a 5lb weight gain after the cleanse.
The only worry is that will mean the 29th is my last day but if I intend to do 21 days then I will have 2 more days to do - the question is can I do it? And will I do it. If I have achieved my goal I will probably want to stop. We'll see how it all works out.
Yesterday I wanted to quit so badly because I thought - If wasn't losing the weight then I'm just wasting time. Today I will visit the gym to make sure I tone up and speed the weight loss up as well. I always find after cleansing I have a flat tummy but it's still bulky - a little. I want a 4 pack - or whatever women get. And I want lean arms and thighs so we'll work on this. I have 5 days off this week so that means 5 visits to the gym! |

| 21 Day Cleanse - DAY 4 |
I obviously didn't make it past day 1 previously so I thought about it and had a fresh start. If you can count the number of times that I have bailed out . . . .
Anyway, It has been going well so far with a loss of 2.4 kg in the 1st 2 days, but alas mother nature arrived with my monthly gift, I wanted to say "I'm good" - just like in the TV commerical but we all know it doesn't work like that. So after 3 days of the cleanse I have gained from yesterday 0.2 kg. My husband and I reckon it's all water retension. Usually I would quit at this point but I know the benefits of this are huge.
From experience I know the feeling of shedding off a few pounds and fitting into something you never thought you would. So this is the only thing making me continue at this point, because quite frankly, I'm not sure why I would want to continue when nothing happens during the monthly period phase.
I thought about it though - I am still taking in the same amount, doing the same things and going to the gym at the weekend. So it must be that I am retaining water and burning some fat somehow. Pictures from a few days ago show that I have lost weight physically at least even if the scales are currently saying other wise. I actually had back rolls but they are gone now - I will post pictures here later. They are actually gone - you can see a difference in 4 days - it must be the fat burning.
My tummy on the other hand seems significantly smaller but nothing to get over excited about. I am not jumping up and down about anything yet. I have 9 pairs of brand new jeans I have to fit in and so far I have made it into one (just). I know if I stopped now I wont benefit anything from these four days, so I will keep going. I think by day 15 I will be reasonable pleased and I expect great success by that point.
The days are going really slowly, I guess I need to find things to do so I'm not thinking about this too much. I am not sure when I will post but will definitely have to add pictures to show you my journey this time. |
