I cannot believe I made it to day 20.This is awesome! I feel great (well, pretty sore right now…I woke up with my back killing me but went to Yoga anyway). Last night, I drank a green drink that made my tummy hurt so I went to bed with no soup. This was after I went grocery shopping and picked the yummiest smelling fried chicken I have ever smelled but didn’t eat. If nothing else, this detox has shown me my true resolve. I always felt I was a person with no willpower, but I think that’s not me anymore.

I was going to start the book’s version of the gallbladder flush yesterday, but decided on a different one, so I start today. My superphos still hasn’t gotten here, so I may have to do it without it (hope that’s okay!)

I am psyched for Monday. I get to add a protein shake and some raw vegetable (the chewable kind). This is so great.

I can’t wait for Monday!! I am so glad that this detox is almost over. Tomorrow I will start the gallbladder flush. I decided to do a different one than recommended in the book, so tonight I need to go and get the rest of the stuff that I need to complete it – Mainly organic apple juice and cold pressed oil. I am not sure about this, but I guess it can’t hurt. I read that some people get relief form achy joints after doing this cleanse. That would be awesome!! I have had a bum shoulder for the last few months which is causing me a lot of pain and sadness.

I finally made a soup I can eat.

1/2 Russet Potato (peeled)
3 celery stalks
1/4 sweet onion
3 asparagus
3 kale leaves

Chop every thing small so it cooks quickly. Simmer for 20- 30 minutes. Puree. Spice as desired.

Almost there! I can see the salad on the horizon and it sure looks good! I am so ready to be done with this! Tomorrow I start my gallbladder flush. I am excited about that. At least it’s something different.

I got up this morning and ran to the gym without weighing in. When I got home, I was up a pound from yesterday. I find that really frustrating.

I’ve been trying to decide what I am hoping to accomplish after this detox. I guess I was hoping for a 21 pound weight loss and more energy. It seems clear that the 21 pound weight loss is not going to occur. I am 11 pounds away from that with only 4 days left. I don’t think I have more energy, but that’s hard to say. I have a pretty busy life and I always feel exhausted. I guess I have a bit more reflecting got do on that point.

I did not want to get up today. I was up all night with a cough that seems to be stuck in the right side of my chest. I really want this cold to be over! I am tired of this detox and I just want to eat some food and be warm again. 🙂 I did make it to the gym though and walked 1.5 miles. Boy did that wear me out!

I had another NSV last night. I tried on my wedding/engagement rings and they fit after nearly 2 years!! Woo Hoo! I am so excited.
