Master Cleanse - My Butt’s Dragging (Day 4)
I thought it was supposed to get easier after the third day. Or maybe that is what I wanted to think.
Nope. My butt is dragging. I woke up all wobbly, weak kneed, and dizzy.
Every day, I break myself away from the grind on my PC, churning out 15+ blog posts and grading assignments, giving feedback and answering questions for some 150+ students and bike to a gym to play gerbil on a treadmill and read in a 170F room till I can’t stand it anymore, then bike back home. Some people call it exercise…I chant "Grind, grind, grind" to myself with each down stroke on my bike pedals as head to Fitness 24.
Yesterday, I could hardly pedal my bike. I looked left and my head just kept on going around. Same with looking right. My arms felt like rubber bands and my legs like I was pushing on jello and the jello was winning.
I did get to the gym and I did force myself to cover the two miles I usually run and I did finish a chapter of This Present Darkness while sitting in the sauna. And, I made it back home…abt 3-4 miles one way.
The short of it is…600 calories a day may not be enough for me to
keep working and exercising while the master cleanses me. But, I will
try again tomorrow.
I wonder how others who have tried the master cleanse have had to compromise their regular exercise routine. ????
Meanwhile, my tongue…is beginning to swell and it is all white.
Serious ugly. The solution - don’t stick my tongue out at myself in the
mirror. I think I remember reading it would happen. But, somehow it is
different seeing it.
Question: Does it really get easier after three days? Not by my experience…at least not yet.
Has anybody else kept a journal of their 10-day master cleanse experience, I wonder?
I’d like to read about it.
