Lemon Juice Detox – Day 5 – Mad Cleaning Has Ensued
My House is Starting to Gleam
I think, if my husband had his way, I’d be on a permenant detox! I have lots of energy – I’m enthusiastic about everything (if you know what I mean), I’m stupidly happy and the house…OMG….the house….it’s GLEAMING!
The only other times I’ve ever felt the urges to clean this much was when I went through the ‘nesting’ period before I gave birth. If you’ve ever experienced that, you’ll know what I mean.
It’s cleaning – but it’s pleasurable cleaning. I actually WANT to clean, quite bizarre!
Anyway, it’s day 5, I’m feeling great and I’m 6lb down too, so that’s great news too. I’ve been sleeping really well, but I’m going to be talking about that in an up and coming post, because detox sleep is like no other sleep I’ve ever experienced and it deserves and article of it’s own!
I’ve been drinking some fruit teas to mix things up a little bit. I bought a box of mixed teas from Twinings and they are really yummy. All caffeine free of course and they break up the monotomy of the detox drink and water regime!
And just wanted to answer a question I got emailed quickly;
The Senna tea (gag) should only be drunk once a day! (thank goodness) as it is a laxative and unless you have an underlying medical condition and are prescribed them by your GP, laxatives are not good! For our purposes, they do what we want them to do – they help to flush through the toxins that the lemon and cayenne have so wonderfully chiselled off throughout the day. Combined with the SWF – it works very well. But don’t drink it more than once a day UNLESS you are not doing the Salt Water Flush.
If that is the case, you can have one Senna tea (gag) in the evening and another in the morning – and that is it. Senna is natural but it is powerful. It can give you some tummy pains if you use too much of it – so keep it to the bare minimum.
