I'm a big quitter and I did quit Master Cleanse on Friday with a nice glass of grapefruit juice and some carrot ginger soup. My restricting begins anew, however, on Wednesday with the arrival of Passover. Yippee ( Read more... )

By the time I woke up on Day 3 I had lost another pound and DID NOT want to drink anymore of this lemonade. I am totally over the taste. I drank some lax tea in the morning and maybe 16 or 24 ounces of lemonade throughout the day. Then I just poured the rest out. I was definitely hungry while at the theater, but it didn't matter.

I hope again one day to hear you sing
I hope again one day to see you bring your smile back around again
