Master Cleanse & a Squirrel

i had planned to document my experience every single day, but of course life gets in the way!

i started my morning master cleanse. i loaded up my lemonade with cayenne...
then i hear the most awful screeching sound i have ever heard in my life!

eeep! eeeep! eeeeeep!
one of our crazy cats somehow chased a baby squirrel into our dining room.

poor little guy.

he was more than grateful when we took him up into our arms and away from the cat.

he made the strangest purring noise!

we googled everything we possibly could about baby squirrels to make sure he was okay.

my cousin helped me look up animal rescues in the area as well.

he is so cute.

but we are so scared to keep him!

we plan on keeping him comfortable and fed for the week,

and taking him down to a rescue.

as for my cleanse, it will start tomorrow!

i didn't eat or have a more than my morning glass of lemonade because of all the excitement!

I MEAN, C'MON... BABY SQUIRREL!

on that note, 

i am drinking my nightly senna tea now.

i prefer the peppermint flavor. 

the chocolate "smooth move" tea tastes like petrified goat ass,

 and the original is just o-k.

see you tomorrow!

have a great night! don't let the squirrels bite!

master cleanse

has anyone ever gone through with it?

i have a few times, and it always makes me feel like a million bucks!

i usually try to do one before i start dieting-- 

seems to make the transitioning to a new lifestyle easier.

the master cleanse itself is NOT a diet.

it is a detox.

you will gain back about half of the weight you lose...

once again, DO NOT do this cleanse if you just want to lose weight.

but you will FEEL great afterwards, your SKIN will improve, 

and you will have a much easier time when you begin your ACTUAL diet. 

but why, you ask... why are you doing it? you don't even eat meat...

WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO DO THE MASTER CLEANSE????

i have a multitude of physical ailments that effect my every day way of living.

i gained over 100 lbs when i was pregnant. HOLY COW, for real. 

my acne is out of control since the weight gain.

the weight gain is putting stress on my legs, which is horrible for my fibro.

no, i don't meat, but i am not exactly taking care of myself, either.

it is time to change that and jump start my lazy ass back into a healthier life.

for the next week (or two if i decide to do more than a week)

i will log my experiences with the cleanse. 

be prepared though, the descriptions of what i go through could be pretty graphic! 

now, the good stuff...

the recipe i am using for this particular cleanse is:

• 2 tbsp freshly squeezed organic lemon juice 
• 2 tbsp organic 100% maple syrup 
• cayenne pepper to taste (yum) 
• 1c filtered water
  
  

  
  
  DRINK 6-12 PORTIONS A DAY  and  ALL THE WATER YOU WANT!

• at night, drink a cup of senna tea.
• in the morning, you can do a salt water flush. 
  i will be drinking more senna tea, however.

there are many different variations of the original cleanse, 

so feel free to google away for more information. 

see you guys tomorrow morning!
