I’m finally getting into some tasty food and have been enjoying every bite.  The trick has been to eat every few hours to get my metabolism sped up and I’ve been staying on schedule with almonds, sunflower seeds, peaches, apples, bananas and many other raw fruits and vegetables.

Breakfast has consisted of a drink potion of active greens, Noni Juice, Goji Juice, Mangosteen Juice and Acai.  The combination of all these super fruits have been incredible, as I am getting all the nutrients back into my system through natural food and drink.

Lunch is typically a vegetable salad with almonds and some fruit. Dinner has been more raw vegetables with some seaweed soup and a bit of brown rice.  I am being very careful not to eat anything that is processed, enriched or full of preservatives.

It was a fantastic day of tasty soups and cabbage!  Korea food is by far my favorite choice of food and after not eating for 14 days, it may have been the best tasting meal I’ve had in over a decade.  I managed to get a nice run in this morning and have begun to drink young coconut water (FUBAR), my favorite drink on the planet plus I started taking my vitamin supplements.

I have done a ton of research on many types of supplements over the last month and will be listing all my new discoveries and describing the results.  The other big initiative is my interest in organic foods.  I will be eating organic at least 50% of the time to see how much of a difference it really makes in my body over time.

We took the training wheels of my son’s bike today and he’s not so sure he likes the whole “balance” thing yet.

The last few days have been great as I ease back into liquids and raw food. I’ve mostly been having Orange Juice as my staple meal, along with some Organic Carrot Juice and some probiotics.

Probiotics are really important at this time of the cleanse as my body needs live microbial organisms present in the digestive tract. Probiotics are considered beneficial and are sometimes referred to as “friendly” bacteria. Some of the ways they are thought to promote health include suppressing the growth of potentially harmful bacteria, improving immune function, enhancing the protective barrier of the digestive tract, and helping to produce vitamin K.

As the last 16 days of the cleanse have been beneficial in many ways, I have also removed all the nutrients and “good” bacteria from my intestines. The probiotics will help to fast track the regrowth of the bacteria.

Today is the second week of the master cleanse and the final day for me. I feel incredible, lost some weight and saved a bunch of money on car insurance!

I will have my first glass of OJ today and have fantasized about how good it will taste!

Tonight I went to a dodger game in LA and was forced to sneak OJ into the stadium.  Unfortunately, the choices of beverages in a baseball stadium are limited, so i had to smuggle my juice in.  I haven’t been to many baseball games in my lifetime, but I always imagined eating 6 hour old hotdogs and drinking watered down beer; luckily that wasn’t the case.  It turned out to be a great game, I got to see Jenny Finch of the US National women’s team and watch the Dodgers win a game at home.

Today is the second to last day of the Master cleanse for me, I need to get some nutrients into my body and get some fuel into me. I really want to start running and cycling at longer intervals, and I dont want to risk pushing myself too hard without some internal fuel running through my veins. The cleanse has been going perfect, so I dont want to ruin a great experience.

Two weeks on the Master Cleanse is plenty long enough and I’ve achieved my goals and then some.

Physically - I’ve lost over 10 lbs and should gain back around 3-5 lbs once i start eating again, which will be an ideal weight of 170 lbs.

Mentally - I’ve overcome the 10 days as I originally set out to do and given my will power a whole new set of muscles with some accolades.

Spiritually - I’ve achieved new heights of internal strength and wisdom with a greater appreciation for everything.

I’m starting to get irritable again, similar to day 3 and 4 of the cleanse.  My patience are low and temper is higher than usual.  Interested to know how tomorrow will turn out.  Better get some rest before I blow a gasket.

Yesterday was day 11 of the master cleanse. The day was normal outside of a some unusual bowl movements late at night which I think had something to do with not drinking enough water. I drank over a gallon of Lemon Juice and Maple Syrup, but I didn’t drink any water. I just didn’t seem to have any more room for water.

This morning I woke up without congestion which is a nice change especially this time of year. Usually in the spring my allergies start to kick up and I wake every morning hacking things up. The cleanse has really helped to keep me dry and allergy free in addition to ridding me of all the food allergies I am still unaware of.

Glad to reach Day 10 of the cleanse…the video says it all.

Yesterday I spent the entire day with my son. We did the gambit of activities including rollerblading, cycling together, cycling with him siting in the trailer while i pulled him around the 3 mile circle, driving his jeep around the block, sword fighting with glowing light sabers and finally a drive around town to put him to sleep.

I was a bit irritable for parts of the day yesterday, and found myself with less patience than usual. Upon reflection, this was probably because of a few things; 1. It’s been awhile since I spent an entire day with my son where we did everything he wanted to do in a single day; and 2. I’ve never gone past 10 days on the Master Cleanse, and I’m starting to see why many don’t go past this threshold.

This morning I took my son to his soccer game that we go to everyday Saturday and were very disappointed to see the other teams, very competitive parents, getting mad at their kids if they went the wrong way or didn’t kick the ball hard enough. The game really got out of hand when their coach/parent got in the face of ours, then all hell broke loose. I found myself getting very stressed and angry when one of their kids was purposely chasing down other players to elbow or hip check them to the ground…I couldn’t take it anymore after he made two of our kids cry. I completely lost my temper and told the coach to pay a little more attention to his misguided kids instead of berating them…among some other kind words. That intern caused an uproar on their side and the game that was supposed to be fun for the kids on Saturday morning, turned into a yelling match between parents.

It really makes me concerned when we as parents are taking the fun out of teaching our children the fundamentals of life through sports. My son doesn’t seem that interested in playing the game of soccer and is more about just hanging out with his friends on Saturday morning. This is the part I want my son to enjoy so we’ll stick through to the end of the season to finish what we started. Based on today’s escapades though, we will probably switch to Tae Kwon do in the future to avoid those crazy eyed parents who are living vicariously through their children. We all want our kids to do better than we did, but pushing kids to be competitive at any costs at the age of 4 and 5 is just a little disturbing and its sad to see people teaching their kids how not to have fun, forcing them to grow up too quickly.
