Master Cleanse: Day 1 (all over again)

Everything is impermanent.

Including all good habits.  I used to be a decent vegetarian.  I also used to eat more consciously.  I have pretty much gone back to old ways of eating and living.  All my bad habits have come back.

But bad habits are impermanent as well.  I've decided to halt some of them with this cleanse.  According to this blog, the last  time I attempted the Master Cleanse, it was 2008.

Dayam.  It's been awhile, homies.

I didn't even bother to blog much that time around.  I'll try to be more on top of things in 2012.  Do people blog anymore, though?

Well, I've tried to go vegetarian unsuccessfully a few times since 2008.  I usually make it about a week or two before I eat meat again.  Usually, it's a burger that does me in.  Man, I love burgers.  I have also been eating a lot of sugary goodness. I've been loving me some cheesecake recently.  I haven't been careful at all about what I've been putting in my body as of late.  And it's showing.  I feel heavier and more sluggish and I do not like it at all.  I definitely am aiming for a recharge with this cleanse to jump start me into getting into a more healthy lifestyle.

I've been doing Bikram Yoga for the last few weeks, and I enjoy it!  I'm going to hold off  the first few days of this cleanse though.

Today is Day One.  And I must say that it definitely feels like Day One.  I feel lightheaded, tired, and the cravings have kicked in. My thinking doesn't seem to be very clear either.  All in all, I don't feel my best.  But honestly it's not that bad.  I don't feel like quitting.

I am doing one thing a little differently than the last two times I cleansed.  Instead of adding cayenne pepper to my lemonade, I am taking cayenne pepper pills that I found at Whole Foods.  It definitely makes drinking the lemonade much more manageable.

So it's Day One.  Let's get this party started...
