Starting on Sunday night! Questions...

Hello everyone-

I've been a lurker in this tribe for quite some time. Reading about everyone's experiences and advice. It's inspiring to see a group of people come together over this topic. I've also been inspired by 3 magnificent women at my work who've completed the cleanse while working full time.

It's now my turn! I've talked and talked alot about doing it. I feel the time is right for me now. Like Tri mentioned in an earlier thread, I have a big family get together on Sunday where my family will basically be shoving amazing chinese food down my mouth...so...I've chosed the evening after this get together to start with the tea, and heading into the cleanse on Monday of next week.

Anyone out there wanna start with me?

Also, I have a question regarding the SWF. I arrive at work at 8am. I'm an early bird as most of my coworkers dont arrive until 9am. I sit fairly close to a bathroom. I'm wondering if it makes sense to do the flush as soon as i get into work. What do you think? Thankfully, I work in a progressive office where people are now accustomed to seeing folks preparing lemonade in the kitchen.

You all are inspiring and I'm looking forward to this journey!

    I would do it at home about half an hour (if possible) before you get into the office. That way you can get sleep, but use the potty while most aren't there.

    I have to say, though, my recent experience with the SWF was much different than the first time I did it, over a year ago. It's taken a much longer time to go through my system this time, like 2-3 hours, whereas last time it was more like 1 hour. Just FYI.

      thanks for the feedback!

      i just woke up at 5am this morning and chugalugged. it's not as bas as i thought it was going to be - tastewise. and within 45 minutes i was headed to the restroom. i think i might actually try adding a bit more sea salt tomorrow morning. play around with the ratio a bit. i gave myself plenty of time (i leave for work at 7:30am) so it was nice to wake up, watch last night's Daily Show with Jon Stewart, stretch out. I went to bed super early last night.

        It helps to rest during the SWF so if you're a person who can wake up early and complete it at home before leaving, go for it! I found sitting up in bed was the best posture for me to help things "move along."

        Yay, Matty! You can do it! :D

    for my first time yesterday i went and practiced my yoga before doing drinking the saltwater.. you can imagine why... the problem was afterwards, when i was fairly faint from lack of calories yet had to down 32 ounces of the stuff and wait a little before drinking lemonade... worked like a charm though and as soon as it came out i felt amazing.

      How is it going Matty?

      I have only ever done the flush at home. ...maybe some residual but-pee at the office but the main deal at the house.

      Best of luck!!

        hey there -

        pardon if this is TMI...well, after 4 days on the master cleanse i was told i had an STD (I was tested a week before i started the cleanse). it's completely treatable but the counselor at the clinic i went to suggested i started antibiotics for it sooner rather than later, so i came off the cleanse and sought treatment.

        i'm back on this tribe though, after seeing a coworker just complete the master cleanse, and i'm thinking of starting again on March 1st.
