Master Cleanse: Exit 1 (Day)

TODAY IS THE DAY I get to taper off the MC. Finally!!! I prepared my veggies last night for the broth I prepared on Sunday night, and poured my orange juice in the Nalgene bottle. And was on my way. Slowly. Had to drop dresses at the dry cleaners - I lurve doing everything last-minute, really. Laxative tea took effect this morning - twice at home, twice at work. Intense! If you ever want to try the tea, here it is.

Got to work slightly late, but it's all good. I'll work a little longer tonight. And by longer, I mean 6:15. Gotta get to the tailors to hem a dress I bought on Friday night that I might also bring to Maryland. This weekend is such a big weekend, I'm pulling out all stops! And packing six dresses, maybe more, in addition to a number of heels and other clothing and jewelry. Hawt.

OH - almost forgot to mention: I lost 5 lbs. Interesting. Don't really see it, but I guess it happened. From now on, I'm going to go with the exercise 5 days/wk and eat right method. It's worked in the past.

When I finally chewed a carrot, it felt a little exotic and wrong and thrilling. Bowels are doing fine so far. So far, so good. Not that I can say the same for C, who went on her new boss luncheon and ate salad (ok), bread (ahh) and cream of broccoli (ack!)! I love you, C. =)

Sort of going to stick to eating alkaline foods for the next two days as my stomach gets used to food again. This means no cheese, which is tantamount to death for me. All in good time, though. I can almost guarantee you that I'll regain those 5 lbs. this weekend. SCORE!
