do a two-week cleansing detox

Well I am sticking to the diet very well. It has not been as easy by day three as I thought it would be. I still feel a bit weak and tired, and I find I have to eat pretty frequently to keep my calorie count up to what it normally is. And it still isn’t as high. I have been having craving junk food pretty steadily. My skin is definitely detoxing too. It will be interesting to see what happens over the next few days. One great positive so far, is that I have been sleeping really soundly, which is rare for me.

This morning I started off with my detox diet. It involves alot of water with lemon, a few supplements, fruits, veggies, rice. But more important it doesn’t allow dairy, wheat, sugar, caffeine, alcohol, and a few more things I am probably forgetting.

So far I have been madly craving chocolate, and bagels. I am a huge carb-loader in my normal life, so I feel much hungrier than I normally do. And a bit weak. Although I think the weakness might also have to do with the toxins beginning to be flushed out. It will be interesting to see how my mood, energy, and hunger levels continue over the next few days.

I have to say, the food is pretty darned tasty so far, and tonight I have salmon, brown rice, and sauteed spinach with basil and pine nuts on the menu. Not too bad. They encourage not to eat too much fish, and that it be broiled, so I will keep it on the menu once or twice during the duration. But I definitely wanted it on my first day, knowing that I would be having the hunger issues. Now I will just need to resist my cravings as I drive past my favorite restaurants, or see someone with ice cream. I’m guessing it gets easier as the time passes.

I also look forward to seeing/feeling the results.

My body and my mental space don’t feel very good right now, and I feel like I am exasperating it with how I am dealing with things. A two-week mind and body cleanse seems like a good place to start in getting myself back. I am going to start on it tomorrow, since there is no time like the present to do things that are good for us. Also, it is long overdue. I have been wallowing in this uncomfortable space for too many months, and I am ready to feel like the bright and healthy, happy, optimistic person I normally am. This space I’m in currently feels like crap!
