Well here’s a recap from the past few days:
Sat. Day 12:
This was a good day, I had a sucessful SWF and was hiking by about 11am. Was productive and pretty well balanced all day,definiatly passing a lot of mucus (sorry to be graphic) more than on my first cleanse…it’s great because I felt it was really working but kind of scary (where is all this stuff living in my body?)and makes me not want to stop until it’s all out!
Sun. Day 13:
Also good, eliminated all morning thanks to the SWF, was more mellow this day, did a bunch of stuff around the house and took a nice walk in the afternoon. I had total insomnia though. I woke at 2:30am and was up until about 4, watching TV hoping to fall asleep again. I was feeling like I would be Ok if I never ate again, just got used to not having that as “something to do”...
Monday Day 14:
Pretty good day, was off from work but had a couple personal appointments. Didn’t have any lemonade until 1:00pm, just couldn’t drink it, I’m very sick of it at this point. was active, tried running but my legs were tingly?? So I walked about 3 miles and enjoyed the fresh air. I have noticed all weekend that I feel pretty calm and balanced, which is abnormal for me, I’m a bit spazzy by nature. I found myself getting upset at something in the morning and the next thing I know I was calm and reasoning in my head and then just fine with the situation, dare I say almost zen like. That part is very cool, wish that would stick with me :) Also had the pleasure of going to the organic market for my soup veggies, yee haw!
Tuesday Day 15:
So the day is here! I secretly wanted to quit almost every day past day 10 and I am proud that I stuck it out and am a bit astonished that I haven’t eaten any food in 15 days! Crazy. Tonight I am going to make soup and I am so excited to even just cut the veggies. I also have to juice my oranges in preparation for tomorrow. I have so many dinners and lovely social things planned for the next couple weeks before I leave. I have decided that I am only going to eat salad when I go out to dinner from now on to avoid fried food temptation. Also, total weightloss was 15 pounds. It sort of came to a stand still at around day 12, just loosing little bits from there.
I love this cleansing process. It has been a total of 26 days without food in the past 6 months and it’s such an amazing accomplishment. I love knowing that I can come back to this when I feel out of control or toxic. I want to wish everyone just starting out, or even harder, right in the middle of their cleanses to hang in there. Tough days are ahead but so are some really great days and you’ll feel amazing after completing this very difficult challenge. Stay strong.
