” But Ruth replied, ‘Don’t ask me to leave you and turn back. Wherever you go, I will go; wherever you live, I will live. Your people will be my people and your God will be my God.”

Ruth 1:16

Weight: 184.5

Feeling: The second day was in some ways worse and others better than the first. I am starting to crave processed foods and pizza and ice cream! While my overall energy may be down, I was still able to run about 2 miles and mildly lift free weights at the gym in the morning. As I was running; however, I did feel extremely weak. You have to be careful not to overdo it with physical activity when on the cleanse. I also was the kind of guy who would be very regular with his BM (bowel movements); however, even on day two, I notice that I have a BM 2-3 times per day and they are very dark and loose. Also, I noticed that my urine smelled very funny (like melting plastic or something sterile), probably because of the toxins that are coming out? But,  this is all normal, so do not worry if its also happening to you.

Meals: As my stomach begins to not stretch as much, it takes less and less food to fill it, so I’ve been starting to notice it requires less veggies to fill my stomach ** Also remember, that you should be eating twice as many vegetables as fruit during this cleanse.

Breakfast- Leftover SP Shake (w/ blueberries,strawberries, banana, flax oil, pomegranate juice, and water).

Lunch- Salad (Romaine Lettuce, Spring Mix, Green Peppers, Cucumbers) and sautéed mushrooms on top of cooked spinach and brown rice.

Dinner- Salad (Romaine Lettuce, Spring Mix, Green Peppers, Cucumbers) and sautéed Portobello mushrooms, asparagus, and green peppers with spaghetti squash. SP Shake

Snack - Freshly Made Vegetables Juice

“A person without self-control is like a city with broken-down walls.”

Proverbs 25:28

Yesterday was the first day taking the Standard Process Purification.

Feeling: During the first day, I had a minor headache most of the day.  Most likely this is due to drinking 3+ cups of coffee a day, but I slowly weened myself off the bean by going down to one cup a day, then to one cup of “half-caf”, and finally drinking tea. The thing that was hard for me (and will continue to be) is swallowing the 30 capsules each day! You can see how many and how often I have to take the supplements in my previous post. As the day wore on, I could feel more and more the cleansing process taking place, and also I felt tired. I ended up going to bed by 10:30 PM.

Meals: Preparing your meals is one of the more daunting parts of the purification. Pretty much consult your local vegan. Fortunately for me (and for you), my wife is helping me.

Breakfast- SP Shake (w/ blueberries,strawberries, banana, flax oil, pomegranate juice, and water).

Lunch- Tomato w/ salt, pepper, and fresh cilantro from the garden and a sliced apple.

Dinner- Romaine Lettuce, Spring Mix Lettuce, brown rice, sautéed Portobello mushrooms, green peppers.

Reading: The Hobbit, Proverbs 25-27.
