what we have said will always remain

That's right folks, it's day 11 of my 10-Day Fast, which means... THE MASTER CLEANSE IS OVER.

Well, the lemon/maple syrup/cayenne pepper/water is over, as is the bentonite and psyllium husks, and (thank god), the salt water flushes are over. BLEEEEEEEEUUUUUURRRGH. I am taking the next couple of days to reacclimate my digestive system to its job: digesting things. It hasn't been doing jack for the past 10 days, and so to give it a xl pizza with all the fixins, well... probably not the smartest idea.

The fast itself was difficult at times (especially the first 2-3 days, jeebus that was brutal), but overall, it was a lot easier than I expected. I had lots of energy, hyperaware senses of vision, smell, and hearing, and definite clarity of mind. (actually somewhat odd) I broke my addictions and cravings for sugars and junky processed foods, and proved to myself that I could stick it out (unlike my 3 friends who punked out within the first 3 days).

Where's the shabu-shabu at?!?!?
