broken promises

So I got talked into doing this cleanse by Brenda, where I didn't eat a dang thing for 10 days! All I could have was this drink with fresh lemon juice, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper. I was told that if I was to do this that I would have a 2 pound mucus poop in a few days. That sounded pretty interesting. There is always a little book with these things, and the book said that the first three days would be the hardest. I breezed through the first three days so I was thinking to myself that this would be a piece of cake, then it got really bad and I would dream of food and my taste buds longed for some real flavor! Day 6 and still no mucus poop. But I had gotten that far and maybe it would come soon on day 7 I was sneaky and grabbed a piece of Emily's chicken. "i'll just chew it up and spit it out, it won't count" when I put the chicken in my mouth and began to chew the only way I can describe it was that I had a brain orgasm. My mind thought it was over! But then I spit it out and the bliss along with the chicken, went into the trash! Finally the ten days passed. We were supposed to get our bodies ready for food again by drinking orange juice all day the 11th day. It was heavenly to have that juice! But by noon we all just said to heck with it and pigged out big time. Brenda went down hard and was sure that we were all going to follow but we held strong. I will never give up food for that long again, unless there was none in which case I would just die.
thanks a lot Master Cleanser! No mucus poo!

I still can't believe you did it Ransom... To think you lived 10 days on lemon juice! What a mind set you must have. Well, you can pat yourself on the back 'cause you accomplished something that few people have done! I'm not even going to comment on the mucous plug poop! Happy eating :)

Ransom had a spring in his step afterwards... even without the mucous poop. I think we were all disappointed that it was never expelled. I was delightfully surprised that Ransom did it! I am proud of him. It was a good 10 day memory.
