Everything I’m not, made me everything I am

So I decided to re-commit to the Master Cleanser fasting program yet again. I failed myself and I failed my cause. I cannot let that happen again. If I had stuck to my original plan to fast between 09/01/07 to 10/10/07, I would have been well on my way to coming off the fast by now.

A combination of things made me quit:

1. I was not in the right mental state to complete the fast.

2. In a moment of weakness, I gave in to pressure from folks that were certain that they were saving me from myself.

3. I succumbed to my detox symptoms just when it was about to get easier.

From my past failure I did learn some valuable lessons:

1. Do the MC for all the right reasons and only when you are ready mentally for the challenge.

2. Tell no one of your fast and the reasons why until it is over or almost over

3. Meditate

Here is a snaphot of the how the MC is going so far:

Day 1

October 14th was the first day of the MC. I rested most of the day and then went for a 2 mile run at the track in the late afternoon. I them came back home and rested for the remainder of the day. I drank about 6 lemonades(LA) and plenty of water today. I drank the senna herbal tea at night and went to bed. I did not have any detox symptoms today, and it was fairly easy.

Day 2

I did the Salt Water Flush (SWF) in the morning and had a bowel movement (BM). I rested till about 10.30 am then I went to the gym and ran 2 miles on the treadmill. I then hit the sauna for about 20 minutes. I ran some errands which included buying more lemons and some Madhava Agave Nectar to substitute for the organic maple syrup. The Agave Nectar was really good. It has more nutritional value than the maple syrup with less sugar and better from a glycemic staindpoint. It’s awesome and I highly recommend it. It’s no wonder why I had zero hunger pangs today. I’m definately sticking with it. I went to my Muay Thaiclass late, but I managed to get through and hour of an intense workout. I seem to be drinking a lot of my LAs before, during and after my workouts to fuel them and mostly water during the day. I drank about 6 LAs today. I drank the senna laxative tea around 10pm. I started getting a slight headache before I fell asleep at night. Detox at last.
