Day 17 of Master Cleanse

I decided this morning that Today will be the last day of the Master Cleanse. Not that I can't push it out for another 4 days because I can but I have already dropped a signficant amount of weight. Currently weighing 113lbs. EEK! I lost 18 pounds which is good and now I need to tone my body. I'm a size two in pants, which was my  goal to reach on June 26th and looks like I got that accomplished before. I still have some flab but like I said, I'm just going to tighten and tone up my body. I don't want to lose anymore weight, this is probably the skinniest I'll ever be. 


My body feels alive and healthy. 


A huge lesson I learned during this cleanse is discipline! I used to say yes to sweets and say yes to munching here and there and I learned how to take control of my body and my mind. I decided that I'm only going to eat dessert once a month and if I'm really craving something sweet, I will have a piece of fruit.


I have also set up a meal plan for myself, where I will be eating 6 times a day in small portions at a certain time. This meal plan will last until my parents come home. I will still be eating 6 times a day but eating my moms amazing Arabic cooking. 


I will be reducing the amount of bread I take can, which is going to be hard because I'm Arab and most of our foods we eat with bread, but everything will be in small pieces.


So Once the Cleanse is over (tomorrow), I can only eat oranges for one day. So I need to juice the oranges tomorrow. And then Friday I will be eating oranges and vegetable broth. And then Saturday I can start eating soup and salad and fruit. Here's a website for info. http://www.thelemonadediet.com/comingoffdiet.html


I kept saying the first thing I'm going to eat is pizza and clam chowder but I think I'm going to start the meal plan on Sunday.


This cleanse has been fun and a great lesson. If I can have discipline in what I eat, I can have discipline in anything I do! I actually have been  disciplined with many things this year! So, so long to the cleanse and hello to a new healthier me!


Pictures will be posted later.
