4/the day after

Well. Yesterday was day 3. I never did feel the feels. My skin never had that glowing look. Oh well. I'm sure the extra vitamins/nutrients didn't hurt anything.

So, i didn't feel the feels but yesterday i didn't feel overly hungry either. I felt kinda blah overall. We only did the drinks for breakfast & lunch. The guy had one for a snack too. Had turkey burgers for dinner. I felt better after that. I weighed myself today. The total loss appears to be 5.4 lbs. I don't know how much the turkey burger messed that up. I'm sure there will be a gain when i eat food regularly again. But i do plan to eat better in general & maybe have a green smoothie every now & then.

3/day 2

Well. We did it. We started the 3 day detox yesterday. I drank my first 2 juices/smoothies at work yesterday. I did not eat the donuts someone brought in for my unit. The drinks weren't bad. They were definitely better Thurs night when i made them, but not bad. I did "cheat" and had a spoonful of almond butter 2 different times because i was hungry though. And because of reviews online, we have made the lunch drink with less celery and cucumber.

Speaking of the online reviews . . . So much hate! I think these people did not peel their lemons, limes & cucumbers because the drinks aren't bad. The breakfast & dinner ones are actually kinda good. Altough i did leave the cayenne out of my dinner one . . . Anyway, it's day 2. I do not feel the feels mentioned in reviews. I am not refreshed or energetic. I am not weak or lethargic. I am most certainly not full! I was so hungry last night i was ready to go to taco bell after midnight for food. Any food. Eventually i fell asleep.

In good news, i have lost 4 lbs since yesterday. I am not deluding myself. I am sure it is water weight. My usual routine is to pee when i wake up, on my lunch break, when i get home from work & before i go to bed. I drink very little. Usually most (rarely finished) of a can of diet soda during the work day & a little of whatever is in the fridge with/after dinner. Yesterday, i drank the green tea. It took me awhile to finish it. Then the breakfast drink on my break. By the time lunch came, i really had to go. Thats usually the last thing i do. Drank the lunch drink & really had to pee again on my next break. Definitely more than usually after work too, between having the snack & dinner drinks. Not to mention waking up at 4 am.

I hope i can make it another day & a half. People said after this they didn't crave carbs/sugar. I hope i don't. I don't feel bad. Just hungry. And my period came 5 days early so i have some pretty horrible cramps right now. I am trying not to take ibuprofen but i really wish i had something stronger.

2/not well

So. I wrote that other post and then . . . Nothing. I'm not feeling well today. I'm tired. My head hurts, feels a little stuffy. And my stomach hurts. Nothing really new with these feelings. I can blame the cold type feelings on being out in the rain the past 2 days, i think.

Tomorrow is the day. We're starting a 3 day cleanse I saw on pinterest. The dr oz one. I'm not a big fan of his but these recipes seem doable. I need a start with the low carb/gluten free whatever. Obviously all this fruit isn't low carb but it has to be better than my diet lately. I have high hopes. I hope things go well.

I found my medical records. I need to type a little about those later, when i have then in front of me. Unfortunately, the records from the gynecologist oncologist i saw are missing. After he moved, i wasn't willing to pay for those & the records i got from the last oncologist didn't include them. I couldn't find results from my last blood tests last year. Not sure if i can get them from lab corp or not.

I will try to write about the detox & how i feel. We'll see.
