Today will be the start of another mini-cleanse. Nina is doing the sea salt cleanse and I decided I would go ahead and try it. No, I do not have a love for diarrhea but I do like a good easy way out.
Yes, I am also well aware that there are no easy ways out. I feel this is another kick off. Let's just be honest, I've eaten as much in 4 weeks as a family in small town China eats in a year. And no, I'm not a China hater nor exaggerating.
While I am not obsessed with my form, I am aware that I will be returning to Rio de Janeiro, mid summer. While I can't, or am possibly unwilling, to correct my currect Casper like skin color, I can help my bloat.
I will not go back to Rio in the peak of summer looking like an albino, over-stuffed turkey. Not going to happen.
While the 'If you vomit, wait and try to drink mixture again' in the instructions threw me for a loop, I decided, hell, why not. If I throw up, I won't swallow anymore. Get your minds out of the gutter!
By the way, totally almost throwing up over here. Still holding my own though. If I had an affinity for vomiting, I wouldn't need a cleanse anyway. Ohhh, so wrong!
Anyway, the goal is to stop eating like I will be dying tomorrow. So I'm nursing my 3rd 500 ml glass of tepid sea salt water. Jealous much! I'm thinking I will not make it to two liters. I know I should really try, stomach ma...
And the cleanse has begun.
That was fast. I'm thinking, this was fun. It was really nice to meet you salt cleanse. It's not you, it's me. I think I got confused and was looking for something in the wrong place. No, no, please don't call. I will not be answering.
Apparently a couple of trips to the bathroom resets my brain. Doesn't this flush require you to drink a ridiculously large amount of sodium. Sure, your body doesn't absorb it and you poop it out. Sounds nice in theory.
And won't the bloat just come back when I drink a glass of water? Ok, I'm going to continue to poop this stuff out because, let's face it, I have no other option. Tomorrow will be the start to a new day and, not surprisingly, a saltless one.
I think we all learned a little something here. First, Rachel will try just about anything once. 2nd, sea salt flushes (aka Diarrhea diets) are not fun. 3rd. I like to eat.
Do with that information what you will. As for me, I'm going back to the bathroom.
