Day Five...
OMG... the Liver flush...
So last night I went to bed with my headphones on to drown out the awful singing that was down the street, which didn't really work because it was SO loud. I thought, 'great, I'm feeling ok' with the flush, but then 3am hit... Wow...
I didn't feel well at all. I wasn't sure what to do. I was just nauseous but I HATE feeling like that and especially alone. But I didn't have the energy to text or call anyone back home, I just had to sit there and ride the wave.
Finally, I lay backdown and closed my eyes and drifted back off to sleep, and that's when my alarm went. 6am... OMG another salt drink. I was SUCH a baby. I was a nightmare. I couldn't do it, then I could, I couldn't do it, then I could... haha I had psyched myself up so much that I thought I would be a mess, so I couldn't do it.
Eventually I prepared it, an hour later, and drank it... CHUG CHUG CHUG... Ugh... it was disgusting, but I felt fine... Wow... or did I... was it mind over matter... yes it was!
I was telling myself that I was going to be ok, and I was... everyone else I knew couldn't keep it down and I did, but did I feel great... not on your nelly! I felt like Pants...
I went back to bed and finally surfaced for breakfast... Breakfast... ha... Guava smoothie! Not quite your bacon and eggs. Anyway, being quite honest, I felt like poo. As I made my way to breakfast I didn't have the energy to do anything... So I sat there not being able to move. Everyone knew how I felt because they had been there too.
However after my massage and coffee break, life seemed to perk up! In fact, it was rather rosy... I was feeling great! Wow... what a change! I could see that I had lost weight, but that wasn't the thing, it was how I was feeling... AMAZING!
I wasn't craving food... and even tonight when some of the girls and I went to Chaweng shopping and we walked past all the food places I smelt the food, and it smelt great, but that was it... I didn't want anything more! However my pumpkin soup was delicious today... yum yum!
So mind over matter was the lesson today, and you can do anything that you set your mind too... you just gotta believe!
I'm hoping the rain stops soon. It stopped for a little while so I got some shots that I thought I'd share with you.
Hugs all

The Liver Flush? Not exactly the most cheerful and inviting name. lol Glad that you made it through okay, wow. Yes the mind is very powerful and you can believe and accomplish anything that you decide to. Many would quit, go find a drink, a bag of chips and go lay on the beach.....but not you...:-)
Sorry about the bad karoke....instead you should have gone out there and sang your heart out. I'm still waiting to hear you sing a song...Take care of yourself, Through your writings ..I can see you rising up to meet the challnges, Thank you for taking me along as well.xox
PS. love the pics Lisa, especially the heart shaped rock, could you bring it back for me? :-)
Hi Lisa,
Wow what an amazing journey. You can do this, you are very strong and determined person. I would have probably up-chucked that salt drink lollllll But you are right, mind over matter is very powerful!
Yééééé for shopping, thats always good for the soul too! Thank you for the pictures, they are very, very nice - love the heart shaped rock - very pretty!
Big thanks to you for sharing your journey with us! Big hugs from Gatineau (2 hours from Montreal), Quebec, Canada!! Lynn xox
Hi Lisa,
I haven't been able to get here for awhile, but, something said to come and read the blog tonight. Congratulations on your determination to get through all of this. It sounds like it has been a difficult journey, but will be well worth it! I, am on my own journey in weight loss and getting healthy, and detoxing my entire body of all these poisons that we seem to acquire from day to day. Mine doesn't seem to be as difficult as what you just encountered, tho! I did find a weight loss/detox/get healthy program that is working great and I haven't felt this good in years and years! In 2 1/2 months there is 40 lbs gone, 4 clothes sizes down. Blood pressure and blood work is in normal range (hasn't been that in about 8 years!) and energy that I can't even describe! So well worth it!!! You are doing great! Hang in there! You have a LOT of people rooting for your success! Big Hugs and thanks for sharing! xoxo
Yaaaaay! Lisa is lovin her liver!!!! Very goooood......hee hee. Keep going!
