Day Five 6:00 am
Weight: 179.5 (pre-flush)
Slept well. Woke up easily. Things just feel routine now. My body has adjusted to the initial shock and now seems to be running on empty just fine. My tongue is still a little white so I know there are still toxins in me that need to go.
The halfway point is here though, and success is not far. I encourage anyone trying this to keep your focus on each day as you live it. You will make yourself nuts thinking of Day 11.
A word of caution also for those of you who would want to break this fast with a feast or a dinner out at a restaurant. My sister, 22, who did the cleanse last week and was my inspiration for this, ended her 10-day cleanse in the middle of her final exams. Her stress level caused her to make poor eating choices (i.e. eating out, eating too much meat right away) and now she is not feeling so great. By doing this cleanse, we are choosing to fundamentally change our eating. We must ease our bodies slowly back into the world of solid food, and in that world, restaurant food and many meats are the most solid. Packed with fillers and hormones, preservatives, and "flavor chemicals" much of the food supply is enhanced to keep us buying. Please be careful and make smart choices as you listen to your body's level of readiness when you come off of this cleanse.
