Master Clease Complete at the end of Day 16

After 16 days of drinking the lemonade, I couldn't take it anymore. Each day I would drink less and less of the master cleanse. That's when I knew it was time to stop. I don't think I want to see another lemon for quite a while.

I didn't end my fast the way the Master Cleanse book recommends. I drank about a quart of orange juice and then began eating my regular raw food diet.  I haven't had any problems. I noticed that I am EXTREMELY regular. Yesterday I eliminated 3 times in the morning, 2 times during my work day, and 2 times at home. Pretty amazing that at one time in my life (all the years before I gave birth) I would go only 1 time per week.

The best things that came out of this cleanse is that my partner now feels more confident in the kitchen using our raw food gadgets and both my partner and son are now kicking in with cleaning up and doing laundry. I learned to let go...at least a little. I've also picked up a new water habit. I drink 1-2 quarts upon waking, 1 quart at work, and 1 quart before I go to bed.

I ordered tall pants from Old Navy in size 10! I also went on a mini shopping spree and purchased shirts and pants in my size. No more walking around looking like I'm wearing hand-me-downs that I have to draw up like a potato sack. I FINALLY got rid of my big clothes. The only thing I'm missing in my wardrobe now is a short warm jacket. It's so hard to find jackets that have sleeves that are long enough for me. Maybe I can find one online.

All in all, I feel great. Life is good.
