Done

Well, my friend and I managed to complete the Master Cleanse challenge.  We had some really bad days and some days that weren’t so bad but I will be the first one to say I have never thought about food as much as I did over the course of the cleanse.  I was constantly thinking about how I would spend my first couple meals and carefully planning out how much I could eat when to keep from getting sick after my stomach had shrunk so much.

We had a midnight dinner on Friday morning to celebrate being done the cleanse and had about 12 people over to eat a lot of food and watch a movie.  After Kung Fu Panda, we ate pizza, lasagna, cheese and crackers (courtesy of Mom) and various other items of interest.  Because most people at dinner and weren’t looking to gorge right before going to bed, we have a lot of leftovers.  That will just make for better dinners than the macaroni and turkey dogs we’ve been having lately.

One of the guys I work with and I were in a class that offered us the privilege of attending class on Friday when we would have otherwise gotten the day off of work.  It worked out for us because the class on Friday only went about two hours total when it has been going eight hours for the rest of the week.  While the teacher wasn’t the best I’ve ever had, he did understand the need to let us out for breaks often and make sure we accomplished a little extra every day so we weren’t stuck in class into the late hours of a Friday afternoon.  I’m pretty sure if he had done that to us, we would not have been receptive to what he was saying anyway.

Soon I’ll be traveling again to another class and then it looks like I might finally be able to see some family!
