Today I feel some better than yesterday..I am lucky I don't have to do much because I am a little worthless. No check that, I am quite a bit worthless. I DO feel some of the good effects that others have written about (like the heightened ability to smell things, I rather like that!)..I also have lost 9 pounds, what a nice thing to see the scale move! I wish I could think better..and today I felt just kind of weak and goofy. "Goofy" is how I would describe my how I have felt for many many years, however..so no big change there.

Like I wrote in my recent "asking advise" post I didn't go today despite the morning tea! I guess I might go for the SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) thing tomorrow. That seems logical.

I love reading the posts about how everyone else is doing. It is good to know you are doing well!

I was just a little hungry today..but it's not bad. I feel a little superior to my sister in law who eats fast food almost exclusively and was complaining to me today. This is not an easy undertaking but somehow, I just know what I am doing is better than what she is doing. I'll never be able to talk her into anything like this, she is a smoker and she would think this was completely NUTZ. Like I said, I can't help it, I feel a little superior, maybe because this is hard. (is is ok to admit that?) It just feels very good to finally try to DO something for myself that doesn't involve truckloads of supplements or antidepressents.

Hello! Fellow day 3 here, finishing up the day! I'm so proud of myself, b'c I quit on day 3 last time but this go-round I'm hanging in there ... or rather, going strong! Woohoo! I have this AWFUL night class on wednesday nights, and I used to have to get a huge starbucks to get through it. I was terrified about doing it tonight w/o that crutch, but lo and behold I stayed alert and awake through the whole thing! I'm in shock. The class was still awful, but I made it through (and with a better attitude that usual, as well.) I'm just glad the caffine withdrawl (i stopped that about 6 days ago) is overwith.

Oh, one more thing: I was starting to get an ear infection the day I started the MC. It was KILLIING me that whole first day. Day two, it just twinged a little. Today - GONE. Yay!

you made me go look at my tounge & YUCK! It's the colour of the wall! My teeth are fuzzy & I can deal with that, ewwwww I wish I didn't look at my tounge....

I'm coughing up huge amounts of stuff. But better out than in... & besides what I posted below about the tea, my day has been pretty good. Except my neighbor made bacon. OMG the SMELL had me drooling. :) I keep getting a knee-jerk impulse to eat something cuz I usually have to MAKE myself eat, and it's nice to not do food.. All's good... and still pretty sticky. If I feel bad tommorow I ain't getting out of bed. I've been sleeping bad anyway & having really wild dreams.
