Alright, yesterday was Day #1 and let me tell you I was hungry!! One mistake that was made was that I made MM's lemonade the night before so he could take it to work and I tried some of his and it was awful! I called him later that morning and he said and I quote "Could you have made this stuff any nastier!". So I looked at the directions again and realized that we both thought the mixture was fresh lemon juice, molasses, cayenne pepper and water. But it is not molasses it is maple syrup! Man, that does make a difference so needless to say he didn't drink it he just drank water until he got home. Since one of the sites I looked at specifically said it should be organic grade B maple syrup, of which I didn't have I used the maple syrup I had until I could get to the health food store that afternoon, it was not the same. I don't think it was giving me what I needed and I was crashing fast. I managed to get the syrup, but I was pretty much done with this whole thing by then and I caved and ATE! I know, don't be hatin' until you walked in my shoes.
Anyways, MM did not though and I was to write on here that "my husband has a stronger will than me" there I said it! But today is a new day and I have a new determination and with the right ingredients I think will do better. So I am starting over today, I am back on the whole cleanse thing and so far today has gone better. I will say the stuff taste better that is for sure. Now if I can ignore the smell of the BBQ brisket that is cooking in my oven right now for our MC group tonight I will be doing good. Hopefully, I won't bite anyone's head off tonight either as I sit and watch them eat it.
Now a few of you have expressed interest in this cleanse thing the best site that I found that gives you step by step instruction is here, The Master Cleanse. Some advice that I was given by my SIL about the cayenne is that she used to mix the solution then pour some in a glass and put the cayenne in and take a "shot" rather than put it in her whole solution and taste cayenne all day. That is the way MM and I do it also. It is HOT, but at least it is out of the way. I'll give another update tomorrow if I am not so weak I can't type.

thanks for the info! I am going to do this too (after spring break of course...lol)!
Justin and I did the shot of ceyanne pepper too. It literally made my toes curl...ti was indeed the worst part! Good luck! Oh, the first time I bought the grade B maple syrup at Sprouts, but then went to whole foods--where you get twice as much for the money and they also have the organic pure lemon juice in a bottle so you don't have to squeeze it--which makes it so nicer (which I saw at Sprouts today) But it is worth the drive to get the syrup at Whole Foods, expecially since you are both doing it.
lol, "my husbad has a stronger will than me"...what a proud moment for him.
I read Danette did better than Justin in theirs! :)
