I have seven days to shift something!

Today i really [please God] am starting the master cleanse. I will also be eating blueberries as a way of easing myself in (and not wasting the expensive fruit in the fridge)

So as i write this it's 10am and i'm sort of enjoying my first lemonade drink. I used the following measurements:
Juice of half a large lemon
Dessert spoon of maple syrup
A good shake of cayenne pepper maybe a third to half a teaspoon
In a large mug of just-boiled water


While i am not doing this solely for weight loss i do hope it'll get rid of a significant amount of weight to allow me just one day out next weekend. I am aware that if i do lose anything it will be mostly water weight which will probably return. I am keen to do this because i just never feel 'well' i have terrible skin that makes me so insecure that even if i was a perfect shape/size i still wouldn't go out anywhere, i suffer with terrible headaches and feel exhausted from the moment i get up until bedtime in which my sleep is fitful at best and filled with nightmares. I'm hoping that by relieving some physical problems and reducing stress it may be a starting point for reducing my general anxiety. If i have better skin and reduce my weight i hope i will be able to join some of the exercise classes offered at my university in a couple of months. I think i'd benefit hugely from yoga and pilates so this is a stepping stone to so much more.

I really really hope i can stick it out. In a strange way it might be a good thing that my head is killing because i heard that can be a side effect of the cleanse. I'm hoping i can push through. I'd love to hear about other people's experiences or advice to go with the cleanse.


Wish me luck!
