Detoxing - Day 2
McKenzie
Okay so it's not that bad. I just want something salty. Like pizza or sushi or a burrito from Blue Water Taco Grill. It's lunch time at work and all I have is a stupid jug of lemon syrup juice crap. Really, really though.. I can already tell that this is working.
Yesterday was not good. I had a headache all day long. Jessica and I decide to walk up to the co-op and TJs to get more lemons and syrup, but by the time we got there I wanted to die. And when we returned to the apartment I could barely hold my head up - I was so exhausted. I also peed a lot and fantasized about food.
Today is much better. No headache so far and I have more energy. I also feel surprisingly focused and task-oriented at work. We added limes to the mixture this morning and I'm not sure if its that or the amount of syrup in the jug, but its way too sweet for me. I much prefer lemons. Other little note-worthy things: I'm developing a freakishly acute sense of smell, i'm getting cold easily, i'm a little on the moody side and I have a lot of phlegm in my throat.

Well yesterday I struggled a lot with hunger pains. The lemonade really wasn't cutting it. One of the great things about doing this fast with another person though is that you are motivate by them. Because McKenzie was pretty miserable I felt like I needed to be strong. So, I sucked it up and made a lot of our juice, and made us our tea.
I really don't feel any effects from the tea but I'm guessing it is working hand in hand with the saltwater flush. It was one million times easier to drink the saltwater this morning. I made sure it was lukewarm today and I drank the whole quart. The taste wasn't so bad but putting that much liquid in my system so fast made my stomach hurt. Business was not as usual. But I wasn't quite in McKenzie's holler and run perdicament from yesterday. Let's just says it appears as though the solids in my system are at a low end.
The grade B maple syrup is much darker than what we used yesterday and is very sweet. My sense of smell is heightening, my tongue is not white yet and I think I'm less lethargic than usual at work today. I'm not sure if I'm fully feeling the energy effects today. I hope that those will come. I haven't noticed any weight loss at this point, but I definitely feel less toxic.
I think I need to be drinking more plain spring water. At this point I'm just drinking the lemonade during the day and I think drinking more water will help to flush out my system. Nothing else really to report today except for salt and vinegar potato chip cravings. Also someone in my office building had microwaved popcorn and it smelled just heavenly, normally I don't like that smell.
