The Master Cleanse- Day 4

Ughhh... today is a hard day. Yesterday was too. I started the Master Cleanse last Friday to get a good cleanse before the Palmetto 200 race.

The Master Cleanse is widely known as the 'Lemonade Diet' However, this is not lemonade. Lemonade tastes a lot better than this! I do this once a quarter to help keep my body strong and working correctly. But when I am on it I get weak. At least I am today.

I taught my spin class this morning and then came home to do Cardio Core and Balance. This is my 'recovery' week of INSANITY. I need to start doing afternoon runs to get ready for the Palmetto. I can't figure out if I lack motivation right now or energy.

Hunger wise, I am just fine. I'm not hungry. But I'm also not very motivated right now. Maybe it is just today. I took Sabrina, Jesse and Leila to the park to play and all the imagination I could muster was to play a mindless game on my i-touch!

I do need to clean my bedroom and some of the upstairs. I'll probably start on that when I get my older kids from school.

So let's think positively right now:
I am giving my body the opportunity to rest right now. Doing the cleanse, although mentally challenging, offers my body the chance to clean itself and to get rid of the nasty stuff I have put in it.

I can run and do INSANITY. I only burn 200+ calories with the Cardio Core and Balance. It isn't an intense workout. 3-4 miles of running won't kill me. Plus I can just drink more lemonade!!! Yum! Yum!

That's all the positiveness I can muster right now! I'll wait for more to come tomorrow!

Best of luck to all of us!
