catch up
So I have so much to share as on my first day I never got to share my ending. Essentially, I was too tired to move from the couch and update on my last drink. As of Sunday night, I woke up to pee like a racehorse 2 times. The second time I couldn't believe how much was coming out of me that I thought maybe the first time had been a dream. How could there be that much left? I proceeded to sweat in my bed and wow, I smelled funky!
Monday morning woke up groggy and dehydrated and - surprise! - I was two pounds lighter. Seriously? I've gone out drinking and threw up and lost more than that. (And believe me, the drinking route was was way more fun)
So although on Monday morning I thought the day was going to be really rough, it wasn't too bad. I started to think I could do this even longer. So much energy and not really hungry. Except a few times when I smelled other people's food in the office. Oh and when someone burned their popcorn and everyone was complaining that it smelled bad, I thought it smelled amazing.
So got home at night and had my nut milk (it seriously is good) and enjoyed my only semi-decent (relatively of course) meal of the day. Later sitting on the couch I was wondering what smelled in my apartment. I mean how gross, did my apartment smell from me sweating the night before? After spraying some freshener, opening the windows, and turning on the fan, I came to the disgusted realization that it was me. Yup. I couldn't stand to be near myself. Thank God I didn't go to the gym! How embarrassing it would have been being sweaty and stinky only to realize it midway through my workout!
So I took a long hot shower and tried to sweat it out. That just made my bathroom stink. Then, just as I was feeling like it was no big deal the repulsiveness that was me, I was flossing and caught a glimpse of my tongue. It was green!!!! So I wanted to get on the internet and email my green tongue situation to blueprint cleanse but could not get on.
Fortunately the second night wasn't as bad as far as sweating or peeing. I just couldn't fall asleep because I had so much energy.
Day Three - Today. Woke up only to have gained back a pound (apparently from not sweating), and felt like crap. I've felt groggy and cranky all day. This morning I felt like someone was pushing against my forehead which made my face scruntch up into a grumpy frown face. I told Beth and Sara about the green tongue and checked theirs - yup they had it too. I kept trying to smile to trick my brain into thinking I felt amazing by smiling. (It's supposed to send the message to your brain that you are happy when you smile, opposite when frown) It worked a little bit but not as much as I'd like. I'd have taken an advil but I kinda thought that it would uncleanse me of all the cleansing.
By late afternoon I started to smell myself again. Gross. Beth smelled my arm and said it smelled like juice. I was worried about going to class tonight and being smelly but no one seemed to notice. I was super tired during class and feeling hungry and cranky and really wanted to eat something. I stopped and bought an avocado on my way home (it's hard but I don't care) and am planning to eat the quarter of it that I am allowed. I am so excited.

ouwie
My stomach hurts so bad I want to die.
:(
I ran out to do some errands and passed Maryanne's and almost started crying. My teeth would love to chew on a burrito with extra guacamole. The site said to chew your drink. I don't really understand.
I wanted to go to the Strand to get a book to read but didn't have time as I had to get back to have another drink. So now I am back home without a book to read.
I also stopped and bought an enema per the site in case the bamboo won't move through. You are also supposed to drink 12 oz of water between every drink for this purpose but I can't get myself to as I am already drinking more than I can handle.

Day 1 - Drink 2!
Mmmm...this one is so much tastier than the last. It tastes like it would mix perfectly with an alcoholic beverage such as vodka or perhaps champagne. I'm pretending I'm relaxing on a boat with my bellini type beverage.
Actually this could work out well for my Halloween costume....

1st Day of Blueprint Cleanse
Today I woke up feeling a little anxious. It was either from withdrawal from drinking on Friday, or knowing that I would not be able to eat, chew, or enjoy a tasty meal for three days.
I picked up my cleanse at 1:00 after a calorie free morning. I met a couple of other blueprint novices outside who also seemed a bit lackluster about the days ahead. As we were awaiting our coolers, the one woman started to tell this story about her daughter eating all of the orange sprinkles off of her Halloween themed Entamins munchkin. I gave her a not so friendly, "You are making me hungry," and she politely stopped.
Starving, as I sat on the bench waiting for the bus,I opened the first of three coolers and picked out the bottle labled 1. It is dark green. The color of soggy uncooked but not so fresh spinach. Fortunately since I hadn't eated yet today, it didn't taste so bad. Counting down till 2:40 when I can try my next drink since I am still hungry.
