day 6: 1:01pm

Well, after "luxuriating" in the epsom salt bath last night, I promptly fell asleep, forgetting to take the senna leaf smooth move tea.  That's actually a little bit of an untruth, as I also spent time trying to install the Windows 7 beta (on my mac), but promptly gave up as it was stressing me out, negating the benefits of the bath.

In any case, I forgot to drink the tea, which meant it was a little bit more difficult than normal to take care of business in the water closet this morning. Not incredibly difficult, mind you, as the water will come out eventually, but it took longer for it to want to come out, and it took longer for all of it to come out.

Today is coming along fine. I did realize last night that I don't really take time to take a lunch break while I'm on the cleanse, which I normally take as a nice break from the day.  I also don't get food coma after lunch because my digestive system is basically just resting for 10 days. Now that I'm past the halfway mark, it's time to start thinking and planning on how to ease out of the cleanse.

One of the main reasons I'm doing the cleanse is that it forces you to think about what you put in your body.  Highly processed foods just don't seem very appealing afterwards and I just end up eating less, and eating better foods. Your cravings for food switch from crap food (although I must say I don't eat a ton of junk anyway, at least compared to most people) to simpler, less processed vegetables and fruits and meat.  So... here's to that.
