I haven't been on here in ages... I find myself drawn more to the fast and easy micro blogging called twitter for my updates.

I decided to try out the maple syrup/lemonade/master cleanse diet yesterday. I have never done any type of cleanse before as I do like my food. Therefore, this is a mega challenge for me. I believe in exercising as a healthy way to lose weight however, I've eaten so wrong and so much for the last few weeks and I need a drastic plan like this to get back on track. I also welcome, whatever internal benefits. I plan to do it for 5 days. I thought that if I documented my progress then I'd be most unlikely to break it. So it wasn't too bad yesterday (day 1). I had some serious hunger pangs and felt really miserable but all in all I stuck to it.

Day 2 (today), I woke up feeling great and energetic. however, by 3pm, I've started to feel hungry and for some reason really cold. I decided to mix my lemonade using hot water and I loved the taste. I wonder if this feeling of cold is normal? The worst part of today is that I've had to make a delicious meal for guests!! Taking in all the pleasant aroma induces the hunger pangs. I'll go on and make some more lemonade because apparently I've had to drink over 2 liters today (0.5litres more than yesterday). So far I have lost 1kg and look forward to seeing how tomorrow goes especially as it'll be the first time of doing it at work.
