Re: Day 9 and its hard
Hang in there, but listen to your body too! Good for you for shooting for 15 - keep in mind what might be making today hard. Like missp was dealing with a couple of days ago, wanting to quit but realizing it was really sleep deprivation talking. Just being aware of what else it going on has helped me through these last ten days a lot - and i hope the awareness sticks. I had a couple of awful days, too.
Today is 10 for me, but I'm going to go at least one more day to 1) break just 1 day different than Mossy and 2) because my body started getting some weird stuff out today and I want to give it a little more time to clear through. Also, I hate oranges, so the whole 2-days-of OJ thing, I'm actually dreading. (I know it sounds awful that I won't just wait two more to break w/ him, but I have to go out of town soon after we break and I want to be ABSOLUTLY SURE my digestive system is working. I'm planning on eating mostly fruits and salads ... but I want them to be going through smoothly. :) )
I can't believe I made it to day 10 - people on day 10 eight days ago seemed so FAR AWAY - (this is our first full cleanse) but for the first time today, I am bored with the lemonade and am just ready to be done. Also, I saw a package of mac n' cheese at work, and my stomach did a couple of FLIPS. Which is a little demoralizing, because the whole reason I am *doing* this is to give myself a solid ReBoot for a healthier diet. One that does NOT include mac n' cheese ... ESPECIALLY the kind that's mostly chemicals and
preservatives and not really much of a food. But there you go.
