Almost 22 months since the birth of my son Kevon Michael, I am still feeling tired and sluggish and out of sorts. I find it hard to wake up in the morning and get a move on for the day not only that but I have been finding it hard to get the weight off since having him. I work out, I eat right well not so good lately what with my day being so stressed to the gills from the moment the kids leave in the morning to well into the evening when I log in at home to work on one of my work at home jobs.
So most times we are eating on the run, through drive thru lines and other places. Now for me a former strict vegetarian I have lost my ground, my skin looks bad I could stand to lose some weight and take myself to a better place.
So I decided that I would try again this Master Cleanse I had done alost 11 years ago where I saw major improvements in my sleep, my energy level shot through the roof and I swear I could taste and smell everything. I was more alert it seemed. Not only that but I dropped like 12 pounds in ten days. I never will forget it because I was already wearing a size six and I was afraid to lose any more weight. Any smaller and my boobs would have pulled me right over literally!
Back then some of my friends and I were living on a natural tip that was outta control. We shopped at Sevenanda in Five Points, Atlanta exclusively, we recycled everything, I walked everywhere I could I had just started my first set of locks, it was a lovely peaceful time. I was introduced to the cleanse by my dear friend Deanna Dawn who you might have seen in the movie about "Fantasia" on Lifetime. She told me to do it and I would feel so much better then I could start eating a cleaner vegetarian diet from there. She was right.
So I noticed that Beyonce talked about this diet she did called the Master Cleanse, then I looked online and on YouTube and found loads of videos of people talking about their progress.
I bet you are asking so what is this Master Cleanse?
It's simple really.
* 2 Tablespoons of organic lemon juice
* 2 Tablespoons of organic grade B maple syrup
* 1/10 Teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
* 10 oz of filtered water
Now this is for one serving and you must drink about 6-8 of these per day so I just multiply and refrigerate a couple bottles of the stuff.
I also drink water throughout the day.
I take an herbal dieter's tea at night and take a sea salt cleanse in the morning with four quarts of water.
I'm going to do this for ten days and see how I feel. After which I will break for seven eating clean only then go back on it for another ten. No doubt I will add some workouts in there as well but I know the dangers of overdoing it since you are likely to lose electrolytes during this process and a lot of them so I might just do some gentle Pilates or something.
I think thats it for now.
I will post later to let you know how I feel in the morning.
Til Next Time
Mamma
