Day 4

I woke up today feeling less hungry. Meaning, the insane hunger pains have somewhat gone away. Or maybe I'm just used to them now. I have more energy today, and my tongue is pinker - not quite all the way pink yet. I could probably even start working out today if I wanted.

Bowel movements have definitely increased today. I probably went to the bathroom 4 times today. Stomach doesn't hurt like it did yesterday.

I am getting sick of the taste of the lemonade and maple syrup. I stopped putting cayenne pepper in it. At first, it was a surprise - like, "oh! it's spicy!" Now it's like, "yuck." Can't take it no mo. But what I've found is the mint tea certainly helps break the monotony of lemonade all day long. I also discovered that when both drinks are cold, it helps. I've just been drinking the lemonade luke warm and it's just not that good. Drinking the mint tea cold is also a nice since it's been so hot lately.

My friend was thinking of trying the cleanse too and when I said I felt great today, she assumed that it was only difficult the first day! I told her it's hard EVERY DAY. Especially when going out with people usually means a meal attached to it. I have resigned myself to the fact that I will have to be a hermit until July 9th. Wish me luck!

Total number of lemonade consumed so far today: 4 glasses (8 oz)
Bags of mint tea consumed so far today: 1
