Master Cleanse, Day 2

So Debbie and I are on day two of our master cleanse. So far, no major effects, altho we are not taking the herbal teas that encourage bowel movements as suggested in the literature. Day 1 was pretty normal for me. I only felt hungry once during the day. The lemon/maple syrup/cayenne pepper mix is keeping me from feeling any hunger or stuff like that. Debbie felt slightly hungry all day but it was only today that I had more food cravings.
One of side effects of the fast is noticing how much of our lives are devoted to eating, food prep and such. I really notice all the ads on TV and around town for food. I notice all the eating places, fast food, restaurants, markets, devoted to food. We had to go into KTA to get some cayenne pepper and guess what? The place was full of food. I also notice how unconsciously I am accustomed to snacking here and there. How many times I look in the fridge to find something to nibble on. Quite amazing how much of our lives involve eating. This is a great was for people to appreciate how much food we have in our lives. I don't think that Debbie and I are going to do the 21 days recommended by our friend Doug, but perhaps a week at it will do.
But today, I did succumb to food cravings and had some very diluted blueberry and pomegranate juice. Debbie had some too. Bery delicious.

Sunset Beach

The next day, Debbie said, "We have to take her to Sunset Beach!" So off we went.


Beautiful waves and surfers galore. Jeanne almost got enrolled in the surfing contest, but forgot her board.

Also stopped at the Pali Point to look over the windward side of the island. Did I mention windward side? This is where one of the last big battles was fought by King Kamehameha to unite the islands. It was said that some warriors were pushed off the edge and blown back up.

Sushi with Jeanne in Honolulu

Here we are with our good friend Jeanne from Michigan. We met in Honolulu for 2 days at the beginning of our trip back to the Mainland on Jan 8th.








Here is Jeanne showing her prowess with chopsticks. Being a barbarian Chinese, I used my fingers.
