Well, today is the last day of the cleanse/fast, I can report that I weighed in 7 pounds less this morning than 8 days ago. I'll be doing the measurements at lunchtime and will report back then, All in all, I cheated twice in 8 days which I think is not bad considering how restricted my intake was at times. I thought i would be "eliminating" a lot more stuff but perhaps I didn't have that much to eliminate.

What is interesting is how well I thought I functioned with such a low intake of food/calories. It makes you wonder. I would say that is the best thing to come out of this exercise. I now know that limited caloric intake will not whack me as much as I thought.

...more a bit later...
