Day 5 - You Don't Know The Half

When I was at Trader Joe's the other day this is what transpired...
Cashier: Hello! How are you doing?
Me: (mumbling to avoid breath-age) Hi, good.
Cashier: Sure is a lot of lemons. Making lemonade?
Me: Err yeah something like that.

When I was at Whole Foods buying my one single item, the laxative tea...
Cashier: I can help you right here. Hi, how's your day been going? (staring at my laxative tea and looking at me)
Me: Good, thanks. (feeling his stare and trying not to make eye contact)
Cashier: Will that be it?
Me: Yup.

When I was at Trader Joe's getting my re-up on grade B maple syrup...
Cashier: Hi, how's it going?
Me: Good, thanks.
Cashier: Just the syrup?
Me: Yeah, I like pancakes.
Cashier: Me too!
Me: Thanks.

Slept in this morning for the first time since I've started the cleanse, except for waking up at 5am to take a dump I was able to sleep in til about 10am. That dump I took was solid, as in there were some solids!!! Did the salt water flush later and took a piss through my butt. Besides the early morning dump, today has been fairly uneventful. Drank about 64oz of the lemonade and bought what might be the last batch of maple syrup and lemons for the remainder of the cleanse which will conclude on Friday. Whoa.

I really can't believe that I am halfway through this cleanse. As I told some folks, if someone offered me $1000 to break my cleanse I wouldn't do it. For the past 5 days I've been reassessing the way I've been eating and hopefully this will help to break some bad habits. No more eating an entire package of thick cut applewood bacon, eating an entire bag of kettle chips, or my 'No Food Left Behind' motto when it comes to eating out. Sigh. I would have had an enormous Korean meal today as it is Sunday and I usually go home to my parents house.

Felt good today, got a workweek ahead of me so we shall see. 5 days left, cleanse or burst!
