Detox Cleanse Diet 2008 - Day Three

So it turns out that I did not escape the symptoms of caffeine withdrawal, I spent all day yesterday sick at home - headachy, body-achy, nauseous, and puking my guts out until about midnight last night. It felt like my gall bladder was in over-drive producing bile and my stomach was doing everything it could do to get rid of it. Today I felt somewhat better and made it into work. I did not eat a damn thing yesterday and all I have had today was a pineapple smoothie, a strawberry smoothie, and some lemon-ginger echinacea juice. I almost want to consider yesterday an all juice day, that way I only have one day to go (is that cheating?).

As bad as I feel, I am really glad that I am doing this. This past year has been very trying for me... I have been suffering from major bouts of depression. I think that most of my issues have been resolved (I spent 3 months going to Acupuncture and have started therapy about a month ago), but my health has really suffered. I have been eating way too much dairy foods and consequently put on some weight. I also have been eating out way too much... and god knows how unhealthy some of the foods I have put into my body were. I joined the gym at U.Va., got a bike, and started taking yoga classes. I also cut out the dairy intake and am relieved to see the weight coming off. I have about five more pounds to go and I will be satisfied and feel back to normal. I might make it ten if I can get my fitness level up enough.

Anyway, I am rambling. =)

Two more days to go until I can eat solid foods again. Yay!
