Lynne, it must have been so strange to actually eat! After...what...31 days, is it? How did that dressing taste - it must have been amazing!
I think you're right about what caused the congestion, only because, as you say, today you're back to feeling good. You were oxygenating your lungs and blood, and stimulating your lymph glands - you were probably stirring up some well-hidden toxins that were over-staying their welcome. That's my take on it, anyway! I don't think you should worry about it too much. How long are you planning on cleansing? Is your husband impressed with what you're doing?
