Day 2 - MIGRAINE. Day 3 - Ugh.

Still on the detox. Had the biggest migraine for the first 2 days. Might have been caffeine withdrawal!

Feeling OK today on day 3, but pretty weak and tired. Have also had bouts of diarrhoea. Lovely. *cringe*. But it feels good to be doing something good for my body again. Have been having hot water with 1/2 a lemon squeezed in every morning (fresh from our tree! It's LOADED! We can just reach out the window and pick the hugest lemons!). Then I have a fresh fruit and veg juice, and a piece of fruit. For morning snack, I made a 'trail mix' of almonds, sultanas, pepitas, sunflower seeds and pine nuts. I've been having a huge salad or a bowl of vege soup for lunch. Natural live yogurt and honey for afternoon tea, and more vege soup or a baked potato with avocado for dinner. And of course, i drink lots of water a cups of green tea during the day.

It's actually been ok, apart from the migraines and occasional furtive trips to the loo! I dont feel hungry, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE natural yogurt and honey - so it's a yummy treat I can still have. Last day tomorrow... I'll let you know how it goes...

DETOXING - Day 1


Right. Time to get back on track. I'm on school holidays now - it's time to detox.


Am following the program the Woman's Weekly put out a couple of years ago. It's gonna be tricky, but i'll feel much better. I've done it before and it felt great!


No: Sugar, Wheat, Preservatives, Dairy (except live yoghurt), alcohol, caffeine, or meat.


Phew.


here I go...
