This sucks.

January 12th, 2008

I am sick of soup and tea, I really just want some real food. I felt pretty tired during my workout today and could barely walk 3 miles per hour, but I felt better after it was over I drank a green drink. My arms are still very tired, I don’t know if its a healing crisis or not, but I hope so, because I hate feeling so weak.


Day 5

January 11th, 2008

I’ve barely gotten up and the day already sucks. My secretary called in sick kid, I lost ZERO pounds since yesterday, and I think I have a double ear infection*. It times like this where I don’t think this 21 day detox is worth it. I am hungry, grumpy, exhausted and I just really want some pasta and meat.

*I don’t know if this is a healing crisis…and the book does recommend that one get an ear conning (whatever that is), but my left ear had a bit of red tinge to the Q-tip yesterday and today and my right ear had a string of wax stuck to it. Now, I am not a person who sticks the Q-tip into the ear canal, just around the edge of it, so I just thought it was weird…??


Day 4

January 10th, 2008

It’s day 4 and am feeling better than I did yesterday, but still tired. I got home from the gym at 6:50 am and really wanted to go back to bed, but now that I am showered and dressed, I have a bit of energy. Today’s focus will be to drink more water. I usually drink at least 64 oz of straight water a day, but I have not been doing that the last few days.

One thing I have noticed is how cold I’ve been. I am normally cold, but am much colder while detoxing. I wonder if this is normal?

Today’s workout was a 1.5 mile walk on the treadmill and upper body. I was only going 3 miles per hour, but I was sweating! Yikes. I am really liking the training book, for such little effort, I am already feeling results.

Day 3

January 9th, 2008

Wow! I am so tired. Just typing is a struggle. I am also really hungry and my tummy is growling. I am thinking about going home and taking a nap.

I am finding it really hard to want to stick to this. Feeling loopy and sleepy is not really an option for me.

Cheating

January 9th, 2008

I am sooo hungry today. I knew I’d be making steak and asparagus for dinner tonight, and I thought about it all day. How pathetic is that? So, on my way home from work I stopped at the store and looked at the organic section. What I found was a few organic soups without preservatives. Tonight, I had butternut squash and it really wasn’t bad.

I am still beat from this morning and my legs and back are killing me. I plan to watch the Biggest Loser and go straight to bed.
