Day 3 went well. I wasn't really hungry and paced myself on the juice throughout the day. I had a moment in the night when I was tired and irritable but aside from that I was good. I've noticed that my jeans are getting looser! Kept having to pull them up yesterday! That was definitely a good boost to get on my third day. Motivation to keep going was elevated.
I began the day with the salt water flush. This involves drinking a liter of warm water with two tablespoons of salt in it - the salt shake. I know this may seem like nothing to some people, but to me, it's an exercise in uber-tolerance.
During the previous times I have fasted I have thrown up at least three times trying to do the salt water flush. The taste of the salt is almost unbearable to me. But as with everything this time round, I have found that easier too. I've been drinking it through a straw which definitely helps. It works for me way better than the alternative which is a herbal laxative tea. That used to have me in knots feeling like I was about to die. A definite no-no this time round! You're supposed to eliminate every day on this cleanse so it feels good to know that with the salt flush you are literally doing that - flushing out your system. And in one go. With my schedule that's a must.
I'm actually half way through day 4 right now and I have to say that it's been a really easy day so far. Never thought I'd be saying that on this fast!
