Well, here it is. We’re at T-minus-zero today. So, I had a breakfast of toast and blueberry preserves (2 pieces of toast, thanks!). And I had as much apple juice as I could before 2pm (14:00). According to the recipes I’ve seen, I’m not allowed to eat or drink after 2 (14:00). So, it’s 6:45 in the evening (18:45) now, and I’m home. I didn’t get to write my entry at midday today due to various scheduling conflicts.
So anyway, I did actually do the salt water flush this morning, with the usual expected results. Apart from that, I drank a lot of apple juice, but I didn’t get around to eating any of the apples I took. Even for lunch, I only had 15 minutes between the end of one task and the beginning of a meeting, so I had to eat my rice and beans with the quickness. I find I’m chewing my food a lot more since coming off the cleansing fast. It’s weird the things that I’ve become aware of that way. I used to just scarf my food down like the earth was ending or something. Now, I take a little more time about it.
So, anyway, at 6pm (18:00) I’m supposed to take a 3/4 cup of water mixed with epsom salts. Well, you’re supposed to actually mix 4 tablespoons of epsom salt with 3 cups of water and then refrigerate (at 14:00/2pm). I wasn’t home so that wasn’t a possibility. Instead, I did it when I came home at 6:15 (18:15). At 18:40 (6:40pm) I drank my 3/4 cup. So at 20:40 (8:40pm) I will drink another 3/4 cup, and shortly thereafter I will mix a half cup of olive oil (cold pressed extra-virgin organic) with a half cup of freshly squeezed grapefruit (what else? organic) juice.
I basically have to get prepped for bed, then drink that mixture in under 5 minutes and lie down immediately and go to bed. That’ll happen at about 22:20 (10:20 pm) tonight. So that’s what’s in store. Tomorrow I’ll report on my unpleasant night. Wish me luck!
