Lemon Cleanse

After postponing it for a week, James and I started this lemon cleanse. I've done this before for 8 days. It's difficult for the first two days and then it becomes easy. We woke up today and did the SWF (salt water flush). It's not pleasant, that's for sure, but I try to think of something nice when I drink that warm, salty water. Then after 5 minutes you really gotta go and it flushes your body, going through you and cleaning your system. I was not my energetic self today. I wasn't the master of multi-tasking, but it was ok. I managed to finish work and come home. I had my third bottle of lemon drink and the laxative tea. I even managed to practice some baseball, tennis and bowling with my Wii. I watched a short movie and I felt pretty good.
Nine more days to go . . . it helps if Bahman (my roommate) doesn't warm up food but he lives here I can't do anything about it.
I'm actually looking forward to SWF. I want to get as much garbage as I can from my body. For some reason I was craving avocado today.

After this cleanse I want to:
- only eat red meat once or twice a week
- eat a lot of vegetables and fruits everday
- avoid any kind of carbonated or sweetened soft drink
- absolutely no junk food (except bacon -- is bacon junk food?)
- only one non-vegetarian meal a day
- drink plenty of water and green tea
