Nothing really new so far. Same full feeling most days. Food cravings are abating, so that's good.
I noticed no matter what I try, the SWF gets worse and worse. Each day I come closer to puking. On day 5, for the first time, I made the entire SWF as 1 big solution (all the salt dissolved into a quart of water and not a "shot" of salt water and then chugging water). It didn't taste as bad because of how diluted it was, BUT I had to sit there and drink an entire 32 oz. of salt water. That experience was the only time of the cleanse so far that I've "cheated". Over the course of drinking, I drank somewhere in the range of a 1/4 cup of orange juice just to wash away the salt taste. I can't imagine this amount would really affect anything, which is why I did it.
I was awake for a long day on days 4 and 5; somewhere in the range of 24 hours. During the actual course of day "5" I didn't drink any lemonade. I wasn't home that much and when I did get home I was so tired I just immediately went to bed.
Day 6's SWF was easily the worst so far. I did the "shot" again, then drank water, and immediately had the feeling that it was coming up. This is the first time I ever actually made the motion of it, dry heaving a few times, but luckily I didn't actually bring anything back up. I felt horrible for a little while and could have forced myself to puke, but that would've defeated the whole purpose of everything, so I made myself keep it down.
Which brings me to something oh-so-lovely. I've read and heard that when you fast and do flushes or use enemas or get colonics, etc. that eventually your body stops producing solid waste and starts flushing out... old waste. Stuff that's been sitting in your digestive tract unable to be pushed through. I've spoken to a few people about it and most say it's not true or just propaganda or whatnot. Let me just say... it is true. After 7 full days of not eating anything, new... stuff started to pass. Now, it's nothing horribly disgusting or shocking (OH EM GEE WTF!!!), but it is strange to see stuff come out of you that's black. Black black. We'll see if more things turn up in the next few days.
My gf keeps telling me to stop so we can go out to dinner haha, and I've been tempted a few times, but seeing as how I've gone 7 days total so far (including the ease-in), I don't think about 5 or 6 days is going to kill me. Plus it will make that sushi I'm going to eat that much better. Because I love sushi. If I was a rich man, I would eat sushi every goddamn day. And it would be glorious. Sigh. A boy can dream.
Anyway, that's it for now. Nothing shockingly new, but we'll see as the cleanse finishes up.
