Ha, I wasn't sure whether or not to include all ya'al in these posts for the past 10 days for my master cleanse, because I had serious doubt about myself - after all, I am a Chinese, we China people love to eat.
I have been thinking about Master Cleanse for a very long time. The travel made it impossible. After 7 months off of the road, successfully finished Insanity and P90X, I thought I would give it a try. I know it is going to be hard, but I also know how stubborn I am too.
10 days of fasting was not easy. Most people got rid of all the food in their house before they start. I have a child to cook for and after David came back, I cooked for him too. Dinner time was the hardest time for me. I would sit there watch them eat, mostly my favorite food (really, by day 5, every eatable food became my favorite). Most people while they were fasting, talking about how it made them wanting to have a fresh start after the fasting. Me? All I wanted afterwards, was a big, juice, fat burger, oh, with fries! I remember one day, David and I went to a Sushi restaurant for him to have dinner there while I was sipping on my lemonade juice, he was wondering why I was in such a bad mood and he complained that my attitude towards the waitress was really rude ... :-D
In the end, I made everybody really proud (except my mother). I finished all 10 days, had more energy than ever, in better mood and am really looking forward to enter my next phase of healthy living. I lost 8 lbs through the process, which I expect to gain most of them back once I start to eat solid food again. With all the extra time and energy while I was fasting, I did lots of research on raw diet. I have a 3 months plan and we will be on 51% raw diet by this summer! (heck I am on 51% raw diet this past two days after I was out of fasting :-)
Life is really good. Spring is right around the corner. I have more positive outlook on life than ever. Jamie is committed to Northeastern University with 4 years of full ride including tuition, room and board and books etc. Boston is not that far, one plane ride away, with a gorgeous, breath taking fall, and killer rich culture and history. She is excited, and I am too for her. I will be in Australia this April for two weeks to see my sister and her two awesome daughters. I will be in China this summer teaching English for 5 weeks in a village. I am so excited!!
