The cleanse went pretty good today, but I think I am going to start weening off the cleanse tomorrow. It’s just getting old now, and expensive. I could keep doing it, because I don’t feel hungry or anything, I am just getting bored with it and judging by the residue that is permanently adhered to the toilet bowl, I think I’ve received the benefit of the ‘flush’!

I will definitely do the cleanse again and probably hike it up to 10 days. But for now, I am done.

The saltwater flush wasn’t as bad today. I didn’t use very warm water and I didn’t try using a straw again. I just chugged ‘er straight up! You wouldn’t believe the amount of crap that comes out of you even when you haven’t eaten in 4 days!

Other than that, things have been going pretty good. I will weigh myself in a few minutes to see if I’ve lost any more weight. Mentally, things are getting easier. Even though there have been many MANY times where I would have liked to say, just give up, I keep telling myself that it’s only 14 days out of my life and I will feel much better about myself if I stick it through. It will be a huge accomplishment for me to get through this and ultimately, I will look back on it and it will look trivial.

All right. I have some news to report today. But first, my daily Saltwater Flush report. I just tried to drink it the ‘ol fashioned way (32oz water and 2tsp salt) but couldn’t hack it. So, I put both teaspoons of salt in like one gulp of water and then followed it up with room temperature water. We’ll see if it has the same effect!

Ok, now onto the news. I weighed in at 303.5lbs this morning. That means so far, I have lost 7.5lbs! I have a feeling I am going to lose a lot more too just because my body tends to shed the pounds when I don’t pig out on buffets.

Anyway, other than that, everything is going smooth and I feel great! The mental attacks are getting more bearable and from what I have been told within the next day or two, things should start to get a whole lot easier!
