Murphy's Law

So I immediately learned a couple of things while doing this Day 1 cleanse:

  1. Do NOT do a cleanse when you are sick :( No fun. I have a headache that would bring Chuck Norris to his knees. I had to take 1000mg of Tylenol and eat 1/2 piece of Ezekiel bread. Still no bueno.
  2. Do NOT do a cleanse when you just stopped nursing 4 days ago. Your hormones are going berzerk (which could explain the colossal headache). I nursed Ayden for 2 years and my body has no idea what is going on now; I just know it's pissed.
  3. Eat more. Which is really hard for me considering I am sick and have NO appetite whatsoever. Refer back to point #1.

I will be doing the cleanse tomorrow again, but if I can't kick this headache I am postponing mine. Make sure you are eating enough to make yourself full. This isn't intended to be a strict, low-calorie cleanse. This is reintroducing fruits, veggies, and water back into your system and giving your digestive tract a break.

Bed time for me is 7 tonight :) See you all in the a.m.

  1. I hope you're feeling better soon. I had a bit of a headache from caffeine withdrawal yesterday but I'm almost finished with Day 3 and going strong. I ate a twizzler on Day 1 and may have classified a lemon drop as "fruit" last night when I needed a bit of sugar...haha. Otherwise it's been a very fruity/veggie kind of week.
