Day 1, Part 2

What have I gotten myself into? I can’t say that I am hungry, my stomach is working away on the little I am giving it, but I am overwhelmed with a sense of lethargy and absent mindedness. I don’t have a headache but feel very light in the head.

Never again will I look at real maple syrup with the same longing I now do. Pancakes, waffles and French toast no longer hold and ‘treat’ appeal for me. Dreams of whipped butter melting on a stack of griddle cakes among waves of syrup are now nightmares.

It amazes me how much I love food. I have already planned my first supper. 6oz filet mignon (bacon wrapped of course) 2 skewers of shrimp with garlic butter for dipping, mashed potatoes and green beans. Plus pumpkin pie (and I mean the entire thing) for dessert. The fork and knife (if I bother with them at all) will likely fall victim along with the plate, napkin and table.

I made the mistake of going to the gym this morning. In speaking with other people and reading about the master cleanse, I heard that the syrup gives you the energy you need and you can carry on as usual. So I did. Chest and biceps. The syrup has done its part but my muscles now want protein. And so do I! Whoa is me.

My first "meal" is diluted orange juice. I then get vegetable broth with no vegetables. Day three I get the broth with the vegetables and then I can eat regular food.
