The past few days have gotten gradually easier but I'm looking forward to the end of day 10. It'll be nice to actually eat something. Don't get me wrong... I'm not starving. In fact, I'm rarely hungry. And very seldom weak. The only time I've felt weak is when I've gone longer than I should without drinking some of the mix.
Speaking of which, I've decided against calling it "lemonade." It's as much lemonade as it is maple juice or pepper drink. And for anyone curious about how the drink tastes, it's not bad. It's not good but not bad. I would say the initial taste is good but then the pepper kicks in and it has a little burn to it. The maple syrup taste is most prominent and kind of reminds me of one of those honey flavored cough drops.
I did a salt water flush this morning. It and didn't do much. Maybe after 8 days my intestine is close to being clean now.
I've prepared for getting of the cleanse by getting some organic sweet corn soup. I think a day or two of that and then gradually work back into the solids, maybe with a salad or some vegetables.
I definitely look differently at food and even gave my 4 year old daughter a little lecture on wasting food for not finishing her peanut butter crackers. It was never a problem before because Daddy always finished everything but now that I have to throw it away, it pains me.
Two full days left which I'll finish with no problem. Five or six days ago I started thinking that people that did 20, 30, or 40 days of this have to be ridiculously insane. In hind site, I could do it. It's gotten easier everyday. So for those of you that are thinking about doing the cleanse, go into it knowing that those first couple of days are hard... real hard. But every day gets easier.
