PSA: when the instructions on the box of laxative tea state that you will take a dump in 6-12 hours, plan on the lower end of the scale.
I went to bed a bit early last night, and so I was drinking my teat by around 9:00PM. I was awakened just before 4:00AM by my stomach and bowels letting me know the tea had worked.
And now it’s 10:00PM, and I’m tired because I was awakened by my damn tea doing it’s job.
I am noticing, at least today, that it’s getting easier. I’m still hungry, but now I feel like I’m on the down side. I’ve made it past halfway, and I can do this.
I bought a juicer today, too. I’m going to cheat a little on the ease out and try a few different kinds of juices in addition to the OJ and Sunday, which will be the first day of the ease out. I’ll let you know how it goes.
I’m really digging that I’ve lost so much weight, though, because I put on a shirt that used to fit me a little too tight tonight and it fit perfectly. Nice! I know I said I wasn’t doing this for the weight loss, but I’m kinda digging that aspect. That, and the fact that my BP is down make this worthwhile all by themselves.
I’m still hungry, though.

I’m thinking about doing a 10 day water fast. I’m wondering if that will make a difference on the hunger pangs simply because I think with the juice, you’re having your liver pull whatever glucose it can out of that, and I think it’s stopping the body from going full blast into Ketosis, but I think that in a way you have to if you’re taking the laxative each night. You body needs something to purge. I’ll let you know how that goes when I do mine, but it would be interesting to know if that makes a difference with the hunger pangs. Either way, I’m sure the human body is compelled to let you know that your stomach is empty and therefore you should be hungry.
That’s great that your shirts are fitting better, but how about your pants? Notice any difference there too?
You’re doing great JL, keep it up! You’re in the home stretch now!

Kind of interesting that as your BP has gone down, so has your heart rate…
It’s a big commitment, you are awesome!
