Post round II master cleanse

I spent whole morning preparing food: sea cucumber, steamed eggs, steamed spinach for David, 煲了红枣当归桂圆鸡汤，had sea cucumber and steam eggs for breakfast at 8:30, it's 10a, still not feeling hungry. I need to start to workout today, P90X + abX and maybe some weight? I need to maintain my weight, I will maintain my weight!

What a wonderful weekend in Boston - 10/21/13 never posted

I had every intention to give my little girl some space, thinking the trip of this weekend to Boston would be more for my own insanity, not necessary for her, and for her dad's birthday. I have this need to see her and be close to her but I was very conscious to give her space of her own and let her grow in her own world ever since her headed to the college this summer. So I booked a hotel away from the campus, rented a car so we could explore Boston when she spent her time with her friends between the matches. The actual account of what happened the past two days were: Friday night: Jamie spent the night at our hotel after the game where she had her best performance, hitting 600 and recorded another triple double; Sat during the day, after practice, we sat at the lawn under the sun, ate hot dogs and burgers together, we went to the Curry Student Center listen to her playing piano for us, then we spent the rest of the day walking around hand in hand from the park to the Fenway, to down town Boston, we ate Thai food and cold stone before we all felt fat and happy and headed back to the hotel together; Sat night, Jamie spent the night at our hotel, even though David yelled at the burglar at 5 o'clock in the morning in his dream that woke us all up, Jamie still had one of her best sleep, according to her; Sunday, we drop her off at Cabet Center (home of theHuskie Volleyball) the last possible minute, went to International Village to have brunch and went back to watch her play a match, hugged her and her sweaty jersey after a 3-1 victory to Huskies' old rivalry Dalaware and headed to the airport (made one wrong turn, but got there on time); Sunday evening: Jamie said she missed us already.

We got to see the famous New England changing color, absolutely stunning! We witnessed the Red Sox fans stood outside the Fenway Park 3 hours before the game waiting to go in, all the special force police cars, bomb squad, I even took picture with them, acting like a stupid tourist, we saw the ever famouse Fenway Park itself, where Red Sox hit the second Grand Slam in two days a few hours after we left.

What a wonderful weekend!!!!!!

Master cleanse - Day 8

Woke up to gray and cold and to 124.5 lb, woohoo!

I never really thought of master cleanse as weight loss tool, but since so many people do it for this purpose, I notice that I am really looking forward to get on that scale too every morning, and it is becoming addition to me and see the scales number going down, feeling very excited. After all, I have not seen 125 for almost 6 months now. 

I started sitting here planning what to eat after this. I have started prepare sea cucumber, got a lot of healthy soup recipe. The biggest gain I got from this is to reset my eating habit, although my energy level is so good now, I wanted to continue on with this. 

Master cleanse - Day 9, 10

I am done! It is not so bad at all and I like the way I feel right now. I am 124 lbs, feeling lighter, fitter and more energy. Went to play volleyball this afternoon at Trail, and walking by the mirror, I liked what I see in the mirror. I can't believe last year, I was at this weight, without cleanse. I need to start to work out, eat less, and maintain this weight.

Put an organic whole chicken in the slow cooker, with 桂圆，大枣，当归头，姜和香菇. Can't wait for tomorrow morning to eat it. I am going to be really good, really really good with eating and exercise.

The desk is still full of paper work, I don't know if I ever will catch up. Lord, please help me!!

Weight: 123.5
Body fat: 20
waist: 70cm

Waking up on Day 11, hopeful and a little sad. I love how I feel right now and thinking the possibility to continue on ... maybe not. Let's see how good I will keep up with the healthy diet and working out! this is a fresh start, indeed.

Master cleanse - Day 7

Eating is not only replenish nutrient, but a social function for people and also a emotional fulfillment tool.

I didn't feel any hunger or need to eat until almost 12. Early in the day, I went to Todd's office to finish my last session of PT. I did all the exercise with no problem, my strength is good, and energy is up. That pretty much is, not much of weight loss and any other symptoms.

My tongue turn white, I don't know when, I just noticed it today. I am counting down the days now, started to prepare what to eat after I am done here. I have a birthday party to go to the first day after I come out of this, which is not good but oh well,  I'll handle it. I am trying not to think too much about anything, I know if I count 1 at a time and continue on, I will reach any number I want to reach.

Day 7, come and go, I am laying in bed, wide awake.

First rain/snow after almost a month? Spring is coming, after this weekend, I am fully expect too see some green ...

Master cleanse - Day 6

Wait, day 6 already? Feeling awesome! I didn't realize that I worked straight through the day. No nap, no movie, no break. SWF was hard this morning, I almost gag after I drank it. The trick I found is to swallow it in a big gulp at a time, I counted it when I was drink, 25 of them and gag ;-( I lay on my right side for 30 minutes, and then I go, sit on toilet for the next hour and half :-) nothing really, but passing water through my body. I am that clean I guess. Have sore on my lower lip, would that be the symptom of detox? I don't feel that I dropped much weight, maybe I started out too high ;-D 126 lb this morning, won't make it to 114.5 this time, gee!

David has been very helpful, while I am working on my detox, he decided he is going to just have salads for lunch and green shake for dinner. So far he stayed with his commitment too. Without Jamie here, I don't have to worry about cooking at all.  

Started the first session of commercial training with Earl, pretty excited. Nothing extremely new to me, which means I didn't give myself enough credit for what I know.  He did give us some market to look at, we now have Kevin, Mike and Earl to work with, I think this will be a great year form David and I. I am very hopeful.

I also talk to the accounting service, worked out a little more kinks so I am going to move forward with them. We also met with the developer that Troy brought over to look for our own shop space, wow, so many project, so many things to do, slow down, Jun, slow down, be safe!

Stretch, finish watching the Netflix movie and go to bed on time. Day 6 is almost over, 4 more days to go💪

Master cleanse - Day 5

Day 5, can you believe it. One day at a time, now I am half way through

Master cleanse - Day 4

Salt water flush flushed out some gunk, wow!

I really think I would enjoy myself too if I stop travel for work. The weather is so nice, it will be 80 degrees today, a record for this day,  I will take this any time in March.

I dont have much of craving for food. Maybe that's why I have not dropped any weight, I really don't need all those food to survive. Eating started to become a social needs not necessary for my body? Interesting. I also don't feel much of more energies just yet, either. I still felt tired by noon and took a 20 minutes nap. What's going on?

I dropped it down to 5 glasses of lemon drink to reduce the calories intake. I still feel that I can go jogging and doing some weight training, not much of mood swing or anything, huh!

Master cleanse - Day 3

Quest of better health and body continues ...

I had an aggressive day planned: run, taichi, hiking, movie ... we ended up with a 7 miles hiking at Hidden Mesa, took a nap and watched movie at home. Tonight is the first time I craved for food, but also because David is eating yummy mapo tofu :-(

I have not dropped much on weight, don't know why. I only drank 5 glasses of lemon juice today, maybe take a little less calories would help. Resumed the smooth move tea, went to bed a little hungry. Day 3 is over, 7 days to go.

Master Cleanse - Day 2

So, the key is not to get myself to the stage of hunger. I have been drinking my lemon drink every hour and half, whether or not I feel hungry.

Today is the first time that I am going outside the house after I started my cleanse - wait, this is only day two? David apparently bought my idea of I am very energetic during my fest, so he asked me if I want to go run with him. Bro, I have not run at all since I tore my MCL, and that's since Jan 6, but OK, since I said I am very energetic, I went. Surprisingly, I was fine! We ran to the tennis court, stretched, did my taichi, ran back. Then, we went to help grandma move for 8 hours, four of us, with average age of 71, moved grandma/pa to their new apartment. It looked sooooo nice, that's if they don't sneak in any junk after David and I left;-)
Its a win day, I sat with them through yummy dinner, and I was fine. Yeeehawwww! Day 2.

Master Cleanse - Day 1

I can't believe last time I did it was 5 years ago. I had such a success last time, I told myself that I should do it every year ... and here I am, 5 years later, finally started again.

After much of thought and not much of planning, here I come: Day 1 of master cleanse. I started last night after my last meal of solid food, drank my smooth move tea, went to bed full of hope. I did my first salt water flush, planning to have a glass of lemon drink every hour and half. I think the key is to not to let myself fell hungry. I even went to play volleyball with Joe and the gang, with an empty stomach and a fresh recovered left knee. The sun is so warm, I put the top down, life seems so wonderful at the moment. I think I will be fine, I really do!
