Love my body fast starting on Valentines Day!

[Buckley]

I have finally decided to do a 10 day MC. And, I thought since Valentine's Day is all about love -- why not love myself and treat my body to a cleanse!! My DH and I celebrated the holiday today (although -- I don't really need a day to celebrate with him!) ---- So Tuesday will be a great day to start! Is anyone interested in joining me?

[misslinda]

not I Buckley but wanted to wish you a happy MC cleanse for your body! :)

Hi Everyone,


Buckley....you are the chosen one.


Let's do a fast together.

I'm in....Tuesday 2/14 fast away.


Peace,

Monkeyboy.

P.S.


Don't let me down.

I think, I think, I think....I am ready for this. I would really like to try.

Did you buy the MC cleanse stuff or are you making your own? I don't have time to buy but would like to try to do my own. Any suggestions before Tuesday would be helpful so I can run and get what I need. Otherwise, I would be happy to do a juice/water fast along w/the MC your doing.

i LOVE it!

so many people think of fasting as deprivation, but it IS about loving yourself and your body!

woo, there are so many of us fasting right now, what a great web of support!

LOVE,
kris

Okay, got the stuff I needed for the MC Cleanse today. Gonna need the support. I'm already hungry just thinking about this.

[Buckley]

Yea!!!! I am so glad that there are going to be people to join me. I know this is what I am suppose to do .... although I received a lunch invite and a happy hour invite for this week. I can't say no to the lunch (work thing) - but I know that I will be strong and just drink water. The HH can wait. My body deserves this! 10 days .... starting tomorrow! I am a bit nervous, but I know that we can do it!

It does help that I have an appointment with my healing touch practioner tomorrow -- what a great way to start the MC! Can't wait to see how good we all feel during the process and at the end!

Ok --- my last post was really selfish -- and although I know we are all doing this for personal reasons I am SOOOOOOO HAPPY that I have friends to join me along this journey. It certainly will keep me going know that I have others to support ... and other who I can celebrate with at the end. :)

That wasn't selfish at all!

I know my body needs this, but I'm not sure I want to, so your enthusiasm is catapulting me. I don't want to be hungry and I don't feel up to feeling the misery of detox....so it helps to have someone cheerleading!

Until tomorrow,

I started on Sunday, but I'd like to join this love-fest

[Buckley]

Yea! Welcome to the first day of the Love Your Body MC!! :) I do have to say that I am nervous -- but what a great time to reflect on all of the wonderous things in my life. I am hoping to spend more time meditating and less time watching tv .... although, I do love the olympics!!

Anyway -- I know we all can do it. Just take it one day or one hour at a time. And -- what a great support system we have here! Together we can be strong enough to support each other during the hard times in the next 10 days.

Well -- off to make my delicious lemon juice and water! :)

Cheers!!

Okay...I don't mind the lemonade drink. It's okay altho my lips are flaming after the cayenne~youch!
I don't know if I can do that salt water thing. I just may have to do the lax tea morning and night. I have never tasted anything so awfully salty in my life. I was gagging.

I am just following the MC via the website. I havaen't gotton the book at all. I would love the advice or input as to what the rest of you are doing if you are following the MC~~or are you just fasting in general? I may have to mix it up a bit but I would like to try to stay with the MC.

I love "fastuary" very cute

Okay, group, I'll check in tonite!

[Buckley]

I haven't bought the book either. I am just going off of the website. And I too was surprised that I don't mind the drink! Although, I am hungry!! I am trying to enjoy each stage of the process, but it will be nice to get to Day 3 or 4 when I am not starving!

I didn't do the salt flush this morning, as I am going to have a colonic this afternoon. And then I will buy the tea.

Is everyone else going on with their regular workout schedule? I generally workout between 1 -2 hour a day. I am wondering if I will be able to keep that up during the clease. Any thoughts?

Hope everyone's day is going well. What a fun journey we are on together!!

[mommamia]

Work out? What's that? I'm jogging to the bathroom a bit more today.

Okay, I actually hate the taste of this drink. I need to do more lemon and less pepper. That is horrid. I"m not hungry at all yet so that is good. I usually get hungry around 4 in the afternoon so we're heading there.

Do you know what each ingredient is supposed to do? I am assuming the lemon cleans one out and the pepper? THe maple syrup for energy? Sugar? I think the laxative and salt water are obvious.
