MCGE – Winter 2010 – Lemonade Diet Day 4 – Momentum
Posted on 14. Jan, 2010 by Mike in Blog, Day-to-Day, Lemonade Diet, The Master Cleanse
Momentum is a funny thing.
As a former professional hockey player, I was witness to some pretty amazing examples of momentum. I am not talking about the momentum from high school physics that deals (although the analogy has its’ roots here). I am talking about the extra man, the silent motivator, the wind at your back when you perceive fortune and opportunity is shining on you.
I am talking about when my junior hockey team was down 7-1 in the third period, and an event occurs; one that changes the direction of energy. In this game it was a goal and a fight by the same player on the same play. Our bench exploded with energy because we were all so angry about the current reality.
Now there have been other games when we were down by a lot and nothing changed the momentum for us. There was nothing that tilted the rink in our favor that caused us to believe the rest of the game would be different.
After that goal/fight, we believed, and believed with a passion (an almost fervor), that would could, no would come back –AND, we did just that.
For me, Day 4 is that shift from, “Oh, I don’t think I can do this”, to “This is no problem”.
Many people have no problems from Day 1. Not me. I always have some concern, discomfort, or sense of loss for my food (even if just a little). I too have to overcome the physical hump of the first 3 days. But Day 4 is when I feel the tide turning. And even though I haven’t turned the corner just yet; I may still be down 7-2, but I know if, no, when I score a 1 more goal, or make it one more day I will be around that corner. There is now light at the end of the tunnel.
Tomorrow is the halfway point, and when I get there it’s all down hill from here.
What do you think of Momentum? How does it play a roll in the way you feel about the process of The Lemonade Diet? Let us know. And don’t forget to provide your feedback about The Master Cleanse Day-to-Day Naming Contest. Maybe this day is more suited to something else?
Much like the characteristics that momentum in a game takes, each of the days of The Lemonade Diet, to me, takes on some character. And that’s what I am trying to illustrate with the Day-to-Day Naming Contest. What are the characteristics of each day?

I have been juicing my lemons, skin and all, anyone else doing that? or does anyone think it is the wrong thing to do?
another question, any harm in doing the salt water flush every other day.. due to work i find it hard to do every day.

Lemonade Diet Day 4: This is the first day I’ve been hungry and craving food. Maybe because it’s the weekend, and where I live there are a lot of street food stands and open air restaurants, and I can see and smell all that great Mexican food. Really looking forward to making it past tomorrow and the halfway point. I scheduled a massage and facial for Day 5 to reward myself for making it that far! About the SWF, I was really having a hard time with it the first 2 days (I take it at night) until I made it with cool or room temp H2O instead of warm and I was able to get it down a lot faster. Still pretty awful, though. On the plus side, I feel lighter and my skin and eyes look healthier. I’m going to do this and not wimp out after having come this far! One question: I’m having trouble even fitting 6 glasses of lemonade in a day. Did anyone else have the same experience?

Lemonade Diet Day 4. All I crave is the Lemonade and water, water, water especially a couple of hours after the SWF. Tomorrow is hump day. Looking forward to it.

Well ok if you want to call day 4 momentum thats cool. But the post I left was actually to call day 5 momentum, but if you think you began to gain it on day 4 it is your blog. I still tend to believe and I personally began to really start flowing on day 5 though. It was over that hump of the headaches and major cravings, as well as dealing with the excess idle time. Your call though. Im on day 9 and I am going for 30 days so I don’t know that I have really hit the hump yet.

Thanks Andy for your post. I too hope to do the “Master Cleanse” for 30 days but I’ll see how I feel after I reach Day 10. Right now, at just starting Day 4 and am feeling fine. I also agree with you that hump day is Day 5 which is tomorrow. Good luck!
