Detox Day 1

I oficially started the detox today. I attempted yesterday, but failed due to my inability to READ DIRECTIONS. I attempted to take the bentonite powder DRY instead of in WATER and it resulted in me throwing up all over our coffee table and light gray carpet. I called to tell Matt about my mishap and he said "Part of me wishes I was there because it sounds funny and the other part of me feels bad." He is so supportive.

Okay, so this morning everything went down pretty smoothly except the psyllium husks. I purchased something called "good tasting fiber" it is supposed to taste like apples....it doesn't. It tastes like gravel in very thick water. I got it down though. I also took some liver detoxifier, vitamen C and some magnesium something-or-other. I experiences REAL carrot juice for the first time, interesting, I must admit.

I was fine until lunch time when I got really hungry. I made some brown rice and fiddle heads. I ate those but really wanted something else. Something along the lines of.....pizza. It was an intense craving. I ate some fruit and tried to forget about the melted cheese and yummy dough.

Around dinner time I had to make Matt's meal. I made him porkchops and some homemade mac n'cheese with green beans. Normally I don't really like those foods but tonight they looked delicous. I made a tuna sandwich, no mayo, on organic whole grain bread. My rice protein shake came in the mail today so I decided to try some with my dinner. I picked chocolate because the other protein powder I have is chocolate and it tastes decent. Keep in mind that I paid $30 for this powder.....It is disgusting! I would rather drink 3 glasses of clay than have to drink that stuff. It tastes nothing like chocolate, feels like sand on my tongue and was very hard to choke down. The good news is, there are only 17 more shakes in the jar YAY!

Overall I don't feel any better yet. I feel more tired than anything. I am also struggling with cravings. I am addicted to bad carbs and processed food, both of which are eliminated in this detox. I haven't had any of the dreded BMs yet, but I did pee A LOT. Matt says that is good, considering I drank nearly 2 gallons of water today.

It is part of my detox to have to journal through the process so I am hoping to utilize this online one. I will try to write tomorrow. Wish me luck since the second day is usually the worst and I have to sit through a 7 hour training for work....
