logging the progress

so i'm on the master cleanse. as a way to start both the season and my thirtieth year (so what if my birthday was 2 weeks ago? that's simply a technicality). 
how's it going? pretty freaking bizarre, actually. as an introduction, i should probably log my prior habits as of late. all in all, i eat pretty well. it's a heavy veggie diet for most of the week, pluggin' in some protein when i need it, and allowing myself the occasional cheeseburger when i crave it. i am by no means diligent, but stay on an even keel.
i go to yoga about 2-3 times a week (though i lapsed a few weeks ago due to a nasty ache in my wrist that had me doubled over in pain during one practice).
i could use to lose a few, but my weight is within the normal, healthy BMI. bit high on the healthy scale honestly, but much of that weight  is kept in my, well, you know.
so, day one: not so bad. no headaches, no violent urges to pummel the stranger in my office who chose to make popcorn at 5 pm. i felt a bit spacey and bizarre by the end of the day, but made it to yoga, where we did lots of challenging asanas and i managed to stay in a lovely shoulder stand for a long, long time.
today, day 2, is not that great, actually. i did the salt water flush (or tried to, at least, before becoming violently nauseous) last night, only to wake up with a stomach that won't settle. ick.
the kickarse lemonade still tastes awesome, and i don't feel necessarily hungry (though i found myself fantasizing about thin segments of clementine about an hour ago), but DAMN i feel tired. delirious a bit. loopy as all hell.
my tongue's lookin' kinda white, but it seems too early to be releasing toxins (?!).
more at some point, after i regain full control of my verbosity. wahh wahhhhhh.
