I have just taken my senna pill. The first time I have ever taken any kind of laxative and I'm pretty nervous about it. I'm not sure why as it's totally natural - we'll see what happens in the morning eeeek
I start the master cleanse -for real- tomorrow. I'll be out most of the day but I'm going to make a flask of lemon and maple syrup to take and add the cayenne when I drink it. I'll have one cup in the morning and maybe a second if we leave later than planned.
I'm reading through my master cleanse book then going to bed. I'll be posting every day with updates including and gory details. I may even take pictures if I feel brave enough
Wish me luck! Feel free to join me on the cleanse or post comments/advice

20 ;an 2010
For some reason my computer crashes every time I try to write my blog even though I've had it on for about 6 hours...
Breakfast
Bran flakes, banana
Apple juice
Lunch
Avocado and bean wraps with lemon juice and pepper
Snack
Walnuts (6)
Green tea - whole pot
Today I tried out the pussycat dolls workout dvd!
It was intense enough that you feel it working and you're slightly out of breath but don't feel the need to collapse. I did 22 minutes - the warm up, don't cha steps and don't cha performance. It felt good learning a routine actually I feel a little pleased with myself
Hannah Waterman dvd
I did 8 minutes of the warm up and want to collapse but I have just been working out. I'm still running the tape and it looks pretty intense. Atleast you can see she has lost a huge amount of weight so I will go back to it.
I have an exam tomorrow so time for bath and more studying. I will probably have a lot of fruit tonight and a light meal I can't waste time cooking

I am still away and eating really badly :(
It started ok I did a little shop the first day and bought cereal and fruit and some veggie pies to go with the dinner they were making. The second day I bought ingredients to make a big soup (it was snowing) butternut, carrots, lentils, butterbeans etc I'll put up a recipe if anyone asks
The pies aren't too bad really only a small amount of pastry and soya and veg filling and potato and veg is all good but I have eaten three boxes of donuts!!! I feel awful but my grandmother thinks she's being nice buying me treats! She seems to think I'll go hungry without dessert...
I am terrified what the scales will say when I get home and even more worried that she'll come back from town with more 'treats' for me.
Due to awful weather (it's been minus 12 degrees) I haven't been able to go running. I'm not scared of the cold but the ground is covered in ice and it's very dangerous to even walk over so I haven't been able to go running once! So what I thought would be a really healthy and active 10 days away has been far from it. I am snacking on yogurt, walnuts and blueberries and eating good breakfasts and soup for lunch. Dinner is not unhealthy but more calorific than I'd like
I'll start posting daily when I'm home with meal plans etc let's just hope I haven't gained weight!

Jan 2nd 2009
I haven't had a minute to myself today so no exercise! I'll be happy when everyone's schedules are back to normal and i have space at home to work out. I'll post all about my new exercise dvds then aswell as a full report on the wii shape game i wrote about.
In two days i will be in the countryside and i am planning on running daily. I wish i had someone to ask advice about this as i've never ever done any outdoor running eeek but i will make sure i stretch before and after and i already know the route as i have walked it loads so know plenty of rest places etc just hope i don't run into any hot guys or fall in the river. I wish i had an ipod shuffle so i could listen to music.
What do you wear to run?? I have running shoes and leggings but unsure whether to wear tights cos it's freezing out but i guess i'll be sweating. It would be nice if i had hoodies that didn't have zips up the front - i don't think that will be comfortable...
Maybe i'll see if i can add some good music to my blackberry as i'm kinda scared to go out without my phone anyway and don't want to try running with so much stuff in my pockets i can't carry my old ipod brick aswell! Do normal earphones fit in a blackberry? Guess i'll have to do some research tomorrow before i get packing
Sleep might be a good idea for now

Jan 1st meals
Breakfast
Toasted salad sandwich
Orange juice (small)
approx 350 cals
snack
cherry soya yogurt
Lunch
celery sticks
red pepper strips
humous dip
Dinner
Large salad with balsamic dressing
Avocado, tomatoes, cucumber, pine nuts
few salt and vinegar crisps
tip: pour your salad dressing into a spoon and add - do not pour over your salad as you won't know how much you're getting and a spoonful should be enough.
Dressings can have a huge amount of fat/sugar/calories so go for something vinegar based rather than creamy like thousand island or ceasar! Vinegar is a great for your metabolism and skin health!
tip: ignore the calories/fat in avocado! This is the best kind of fat! The sort that stops you getting wrinkles and cellulite and keeps your skin plump and smoooooth. The essential oils in avocado and nuts are so good for you. If you're need to cut cals but smaller avocados and only use half. If you keep the stone in the other half and squeeze a little lemon juice over the exposed flesh it'll keep in the fridge for a day or so
