Day Four of the Cleanse: do it yourself

[additional-authors]
November 11, 2011

So after ” title=”finishing out this cleanse.”> finishing out this cleanse.  Even if I wanted to, I couldn’t completely go off of it because I didn’t want to immediately start inhaling caffeine and foods that could be hard to digest.  And I do often eat without thinking about it so I liked the awareness it was calling to my eating habits and we all ingest lots of things that we know aren’t good for us.  I figured I could finish out the week trying to adhere to these principles but I also wasn’t going to get anywhere near an ultimate smoothie – just the idea of it makes me nauseous. 

This morning, even though I had probably only had a few ounces of soup and some OJ last night, I felt completely transferred.  I was still weak and tired with a mild headache but compared to the state I was in last night, I can’t believe I even tried to work when I was like that.  I decided I would just get smoothies and soup that actually tasted good for my meals today and that I would eat what was necessary to be functional.  Then, I’d still be off all of the processed chemical food-stuffs I normally eat, I’d still be off caffeine and diet coke, and even my normal snacks, but I also wouldn’t be in debilitating pain wishing I could die.
