The Weekend...
I've definitely lost a good amount of weight...about 8 lbs! Woohoo! Getting sicker and sicker of the lemonade and tea by the day though.
Friday night was really rough. My friends went out and I was too tired/didn't feel like being sober. So I stayed home and watched Entourage. Oh well, I'm usually tired on Fridays anyways.
Saturday I went on a walk to try and get some energy, then laid in the park and read. It was a nice little day minus having to carry the lemonade around with me.
Didn't go out Saturday night either - so lame, but hopefully I'll be feeling great next weekend!
I went out to brunch with my friends - they ate ridiculously good food while i drank as much lemonade as possible to keep myself from attacking them. Just a few more days!!

Day 3 & 4
Forgive the big date gap/multiple postings on the same day. I wrote them all down at work, but didn't have a chance until now to copy everything over.
Anyways, Day 4...
I lost about 5 lbs very quickly, now I'm inching along in weight loss. My pants are way looser though!! I'm sad because I really don't want to gain weight back - I didn't want to do this to lose weight originally, but this is pretty motivating.
I cheated last night and went home and ate syrup...who knew you could binge on maple syrup?
It's funny how sick you can get of this stuff. It's gross, I'm exhausted, and I'm really cold all the time. If I didn't think this could maybe help my stomach stop hurting in the long run, I don't know that I could keep up with it. If you are doing this to lose weight, I'm not quite sure I would recommend it.
And the tea is still not going well - I feel like I should be holed up for this whole thing. Ugh!

Day 2
Woke up with stomach pains last night, which wasn't fun at all. And I'm not excited about drinking lemonade today. I really wish I could get breakfast at work :( That was my favorite thing about the mornings.
Spent a lot of time in the bathroom today...beware the tea. And I only took it last night - no sea salt in the am.
Another super busy day, but I was pretty sad when it came to lunch time. I went and sat outside with everyone else and watched them eat really good food. Oh well, at least I'll be all cleansed and skinny :)
I had to stay at work until 7 tonight, and I was pretty hungry by the time I got home. I wonder how long I can go without cheating - I don't know if it will be much longer.

Lemonade Diet - Day 1
Today I am starting the Lemonade Diet. And no, I am not doing it because Beyonce did. Although I think the weight loss could be a fantastic side effect! Really I just want to cleanse my system and start over again. I'll be drinking 60 oz of lemonade each day. I bought two 32-oz containers and put this in each container:
6 tablespoons of Organic Grade B Maple Syrup
6 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (I used a hand juicer and about 1.5 lemons per 32 oz)
Cayenne pepper to taste (just one shake - it is so overpowering and gross)
Fill the rest with water
I will also have to drink Herbal Laxative at night and sea salt with warm water in the morning.
As someone who works full time, I was a little bit skeptical of the morning and nighttime cleansing regimes with the Lemonade Diet. Drinking sea salt, which is supposed to clean you out pretty completely immediately, did not sound like the best idea right before work. So I drank the laxative tea last night, and nothing happened. So far so good.
At work- it is very difficult to watch everyone else eat their eggs and drink their coffee. I am very tired...and hungry. And I really do not feel like talking to anyone.
The day goes by fairly fast. I had a growling stomach a few times, but it's not so bad - just drink a little more lemonade. It gets pretty sickening after a pretty short time - no clue how I will make it through ten days.
Nighttime - It was really nice to go home right after work and not go to the gym. I feel like I'll have a whole new world opening for me after work - except I plan on basically watching tv all night...maybe I'll motivate myself later this week to be social.
One day down, nine to go!
