Master Cleanse: Day .5

After consuming a large lunch at Koi (a most delicious Japanese eatery in the Bryant Park Hotel) of Crispy Rice, Lobster-Shrimp Tempura roll and Edamame, I decided to forgo other foods for the rest of the day. To save up for the big beginning of the Master Cleanse, you see.

So far, I have spent the night juicing and talking to friends. My sister-in-law was none too happy to hear of my entry into the crazy world of the Cleanse, but she and my brother said they'd offer support. Good thing, because one of my friends has dropped out. Lame! To give her credit, she has been on it for a full work day, whereas I've only been on it for a half-day. And only have consumed the "lemonade drink" once. My other friend (who's done it several times and is just coming off of it) said to put more cayenne pepper in than the recipe calls for since it's an appetite suppressant.

...oh my gosh, I can't even concentrate anymore. My stomach is turning itself inside out from hunger pains. I have to wake up early to make the rest of this crappy drink, as well as to account for dumping the entire contents of my bowels (slowly) into the toilet bowl. It won't be pretty. The top-down enema (sea salt and water! who knew!!) is going to make my intestines wring themselves dry.

Stay tuned...
