2 more days to go, but we are DONE we're throwing in the towel. Rob and I have taken on a Lemonade Diet/Cleanse Challenge. We started it on Wednesday last week, and have only 2 more days, but due to circumstances we are throwing in the towel. I heard about this Lemonade Diet/Cleanse awhile ago, and thought that maybe it was just enough crazy that I would try it out but that there was probably not going to be any way that I was going to get Rob to do this with me. Surprisingly enough, Rob said he wanted to take it on. It is a pretty EXTREME diet. The rules are as follows: 6-12 glasses of (10 oz.) of Fresh Lemonade made with Genuine Maple Syrup, and cayenne pepper (in capsule form) a day, and as much water as you want. Absolutely NO FOOD can be consumed during the 10 days. That's right we were doing this for 10 days. The reason for No Food, is because as it is said in the diet: "All solid food is turned into a liquid state before it can be carried by the blood to the cells of the body. The lemonade is already a food in liquid form".
There have been days, hours, moments when I think that we have completely lost my mind. I know...Many of my family members have already shared their thoughts that I am probably CRAZY. But oh well... Its a challenge that I decided I wanted to do. Rob really surprised me. He was amazing. Yesterday was my last day with the diet/cleanse due to a situation that I had earlier in the afternoon, where I not completely but only for a second or so blacked out. I thought that I would be fine with another glass of lemonade, but never felt better after it, so I am calling in the towel. Rob is done as well.
To date: (for documenting purpose only)
Rob has lost 15 lbs, ?? inches (he didn't measure before he started)
Heather has lost 10 lbs, and 3 inches.
.
Now the real test will be now the diet/cleanse is over, and we are back to eating "solid/real" food. (I'll probably eat one bite of bread and gain all the lbs. back). But honestly I didn't go into the Lemonade diet to loose weight, I was just testing my body to see if I really could go that long with out eating real food. I wanted to see just how strong my self-disciple was. I feel pretty good about the whole experience. ...I can say that I probably will never do this diet/cleanse again. Just thought I would document this experience so that years later I can look back and think what a crazy and insane person I am.

Your nuts! God put food on this earth for a reason! I can't believe you made it so long. Hope you start feeling better.
you two are CRAZY!!
Yeah for you! Way to set a goal and accomplish it!!! I wish that I was as strong. You're amazing!
keep us posted on if the lbs stay off! Maybe I'll be crazy enough to try it!
Crazy and insane is right!! I'm amazed you lasted as long as you did...I would go about 8 hours and be done! I love food way too much!
10 lbs really?? Wow! That's awesome! That's how much I need to lose to get to me "pre-marriage" weight goal! Maybe I'll give it a try. I had been doing good the last couple of weeks...walking 8 miles a day and eating better, but when I lost 4 lbs after 3 weeks..I got a little too confident I guess and started eating a little bit bad again and gained 3 of it back!!! I am so bad. Maybe if I can discipline myself enough for 10 days even 8. I might lose a the weight I want.
oh, and could you tell me exactly how to make it? etc.
I could not survive! HAHAHA!!
Sounds like some Hollywood thing. I'm actually surprised with Rob doing it the whole time too! Good job...now you got to keep it off! And not that you needed to lose that much anyways Heather!!
Um...I'm kind of speechless. Other than to say--YOU ARE CRAZY! I agree with Monica.
