Why am I doing this to myself?
why I'm doing this?
Date: 6/17/2007 7:51:19 PM ( 17 y ) ... viewed 1476 times Right after New Years I mentioned to a friend that I was wishing I could open myself up both physically and mentally and dump out all of the garbage that was holding me down. There are days that I feel so mentally full that I can't complete sentences or hold a complete conversation unless they have to do with carpooling, changing diapers, or what we're having for dinner. I needed a change!
I'm 38 years old and in decent shape. I run 3 miles 5 days a week and can do all sorts of push-up and sit-ups and yet I'm always exhausted. I used to be quite the water drinker and found that lately all I was craving were coffee drinks or soda/pop/coke (depending on what region of the U.S. you live in). I don't sleep well at night, I can take catnaps any time during the day and fall asleep and if you put two bowls in front of me, one with fresh cut fruit the other with chips and dip....I'll go for the chips and dip every time. Again, I needed a change.
Recently I've been hearing about Detox programs and Cleansing programs and thought that might be just what I needed to drop these habits and kick start some new, good ones. I did quite a bit of on-line reasearch and purchased a, or THE, book on the Master Cleanse. I read why not to do it and why to do it. I talked about it with my husband and it was a few things he said that made me want to go ahead and try. (1) It won't kill you to try...meaning, truly, I won't die from "not eating" for 10 days and (2) I'll do it with you.
So here we are. Now, I'm actually posting this seven days into our cleanse but I've kept my own journal as I went along which I am now transcribing. I hope what I write will inform others about the cleanse experience. Here we go!
