Day 12
I can’t believe I have made it this far. Last night was a real challenge for me. I made BBQ chicken and rice for dinner and the whole house smelled yummy. I had a bit of organic tomato soup but I just couldn’t stomach it, so I juiced 1/2 cucumber, 2 celery stalks, and 1 1/4 carrot. It made quite a bit of juice and I drank about 1/2 (probably 6-8 oz.). I am just really struggling with the soup component.
I thought I was going to fly through this 3 weeks without a crisis, but alas, I fear I am getting sick. Thank goodness it’s a 3 day weekend because I think I am going to sleep through it. My ears and throat have been bothering me all week (my ears for about a month) but this morning feels like a full fledged sore throat/ear infection. I can feel ickiness draining down the back of my throat. Also, my hands feel like an arthritic mess. My fingers have been cold for days and today, they ache and won’t straighten out.
Speaking of cold, I have been freezing. It doesn’t help that it’s cold outside, but my body has been cold. According to the book, Dr. Roni suggests getting a thyroid work-up if you feel extreme cold during the cleanse. My thyroid has been checked before, but maybe it couldn’t hurt to do it again.
