Wow - I'm on day 4. I can't believe it. Day 3 ended alright. I was tired and cold and VERY IRRITABLE! I got my period yesterday as well. I wanted to go to bed early but was up until after 11. Then at 2:45 Oliver woke up to go to the bathroom. Then at 3:00 the alarm went off at a store across the street. It went on for about 10 minutes. Then I had a weird dream about eating purple corn chips. Needless to say, I didn't sleep that great and was a little sluggish getting out of bed. I managed to get all my morning things done. Bible study, made my pre-drinks, SWF, boys ready for school. I think I am so sluggish because of my period. Anyway. I will post more later.
Chao for now.
8:35 am—Day 3 is here. I'm still waiting for the really bad detox symptoms. I felt a little achie last night, but was fine. When I got home from work the boys and T were eating dinner... penne and meatballs...mmmmm. I had to leave the room because it smelled so good. Got past it. I was getting irritated (detox symptom). Torry kept asking me if I was ok, that irritated me more. I went for a walk with the girlfriends last night . I was nice, got to bed later than I wanted. I was having some weird dreams about prom. I never went so....? It was still a restful night sleep. The strange thing was, when the alarm went off this morning. I got up fine. Before, I'd be dragging my butt out of bed.
SWF went ok. I had a piece of lime before drinking it down. I helped. I currently still flushing. I had to go at the daycare and I might have 1 more in me before 9:00. I'll post any new symptoms as I get them.
Chow for now.
Ok - I'm now in day 2. Yesterday ended ok. I was a little hungry but it was managable. As long as I drank the lemonade when I got hungry, I was ok. The SWF (salt water flush) if you don't know, is a mixture of 32oz spring water and 2 tsp of sea salt. YUM... You drink this down and it will flush your intestines. The purpose of the flush is to, well, flush all the toxins that have come out during your detox. Flushing it keeps them from being reabsorbed into the body. Which is good. Yesterday, I didn't flush. Today, I flushed. Not very exciting but it is call "butt pee". This is for you Julie - it's not diarrhea, it's just like pee with stuff in it. Sorry to get gross, but Jules wants details.
Today is going well. Not too many hunger pangs. I even went wogging (walk/jog) with my coworker Kathy. Beautiful day to be outside. It went well. When I got back to the office everyone was having lunch so I could smell everyone's food. But got past that. My tongue is still pinkish, but slowly getting white. Yesterday by 3:00 it was white. I brushed it at 3:30. This morning it was a little white, but I brushed it (for those that are new, toxins are eliminated via your tongue as well.)
Only 7 hours til I go to bed. I'm almost done with day 2.
Cheers
Here I go. I've started the cleanse. I had my lax tea last night and got up before my alarm this morning. I made my SWF and drank it down. It actually wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I was expecting more elims, but I just had one. I might have to adjust the amount of salt. We'll see tomorrow. My tongue is pink, but it will change.
This week's memory verse is 2 Corinthians 5:17—Therefore if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!
Wish me luck.
