DAY 2 OF THE LEMONADE DIET
Morning weight 115 lbs
Yesterday was not hard at all. I spent the day at the water rapids, and keep the water and lemonade concentrate in the lockers. When I felt weak, hungry or thirsty, I would go have a glass of lemonade.
I actually got through the entire day taking 7 glasses of lemonade. And since the recommended dose is 6-12 glasses, I think I started off pretty well!
My main objective for this diet is to lose weight, so I am trying to stay on the low count of glasses per day. But if I am hungry or feel weak I am certainly not going to refrain form taking some lemonade. I'm doing enough cut backs already!

The worst part so far is the Salt Water Flush. It is gross and difficult to take in. It made me want to throw up, but I made a huge effort to keep it in. I managed to get it all in 4 big gulps (each time swallowing about 10 times) Counting the swallows helps as it makes it feel like crunches.
If anyone is reading this to learn from my experience, know that each person finds their own ways to manage through the tuff parts.
When I finished the SWF I decided I can't do this and I have to find some other way to get bowel movements. A little while later, the effect was such and so relieving in a physical way, that if other detox ways don't have the same effect, I will sacrifice myself to the SWF in order to expel all that matter!

Now I hope the Lemonade part is as easy today as it was yesterday. I think the Rapids distracted me yesterday, and made it more easy going. But I did go to McDonalds with everyone and drank my lemonade while everyone had their big macs!! I actually looked at the burger in my boyfriend's big mac, and it looked colorless and gross. It almost looked like plastic! The chicken nuggets and fries, on the other hand, where more of a challenge for me. But I did manage to get through without too much suffering, although they purposely displayed a huge tray of fries in front of me!

As to weight loss, nothing is happening yet. The more days go by without a change, the larger I hope the jump will be when it comes. It better be!
I am noticing, though, that my belly is less swollen. I still have the lower part (right under the belly button) which is one of the most difficult things to get rid of, but my entire belly has reduced. I mean, that is the minimum that should happen after a weak of barely eating!!!!!

So, Day 2... here I go!!
