I’m going to start the detox over again tomorrow! I completely gluttoned out after the last attempt and I am afraid to get on the scale and see the damage.

Well, I have pretty much been off the detox. I haven’t eaten a whole lot the last few days, but I have eaten. The only thing I have faithfully done is the morning berry drink.

I see the colon hydro-therapist (CH) again today and I hope to be done with that. I am hoping she will help me come up with something I can do. I haven’t found a soup I can stomach. I plan to take it easy through the holiday and maybe do another heavy duty detox after Thanksgiving. I’ll need to talk to CH about whether that’s safe.

Boy does time fly, it’s day six already! Today, I am back on track…until lunch that is because I have a board meeting at a restaurant that is known for steak – not soup. Yesterday, I was able to find a smoothie place and had a berry berry smoothie which was a close to the detox as I could find. It beat the bagel that was option # 2. Last night, I caved and ate a chunk of tritip. I chewed the heck out every piece and didn’t use steak sauce.

I am not doing this very well. My hydro-therapist said she could customize a detox for me, and she sort of berated me for starting the detox before my colonic. My 2nd colonic is tomorrow, so I may have her put something together for me. I’ve been doing better than I had been doing sticking to NutriSystem…and I am definitely seeing results.

The good news is my leg pain has subsided and I am feeling a lot better.

Yesterday was a pretty bad day. I woke up late and had to get going, so I put all my powders in to-go tubs and left. I drank my berry drink and a cup of tea around 8:30 am, but I wasn’t able to have another supplement until around 2 pm. Then I went to the gym for abut an hour where I water walked and sat in the sauna. I still had 45 minutes till my colonic and I was starving, so I thought I’d pop back into the office and drink the other berry drink I packed. Boy was that a mistake. I pulled up to the hydro-therapist’s office and threw it up in the parking lot. Yuck!

The colonic itself was worse than I expected. That’s all I’ll say about that. I do feel lighter around the middle though. She said I need to come back in a few days (Thursday). Oh – when I got done pucking, I accidentally locked my keys in the car, so after the appointment I had to call DH to come and get them for me and he asked me to stop and get pizza for dinner. I did, and I have to admit that for dinner, I ate 1 piece of pizza. This is bad because it does not help my cleanse, but it tasted great and I felt a lot better afterword, and I only had one piece whereas before I would have had 3 or 4.

I pray today is a better day. My legs still hurt. I am actually getting a bit worried. I have been forced to take Ibuprofen just so I can lay down and get some sleep. I will be far away from anywhere today, so I am not sure what I am going to do for eating and drinking. If I can’t find soup, I may have to do salad because a restaurant will likely be my option.

I am still experiencing terrible pain down my legs. Yesterday, I was desperate, so I tried a coffee enema. I did feel a tiny bit better after that as the pain subsided through the pelvis, but not the legs. Last night around 7 pm, I tried a detox bath and finally found some relief, that is, until I got out of the tub. Around 10 pm, I was dying, so I thought some protein would help and I ate (yes, I ate) a piece of string cheese. By 12:30 am, I had moved out to the couch and was whimpering so badly the DH came out to the living room and began yelling at me about how stupid the whole thing is…. Anywho, I finally took a couple Ibuprofen and was able to get some sleep. When I woke up this morning, the pain was starting to come back, so I had to take another two Ibuprofen so I could make it through the important meeting I have this morning.

I bought donuts for said important meeting and it has been all I can do to not eat one. I love donuts.

Going to go to the gym and walk the treadmill and take a sauna before my colonic. Wish me luck.
