Day 2
Headache and nausea. Bad day. Shaking off the diet pepsi addiction isn't easy. Had egg white scrambled eggs for breakfast. Salad for lunch and broccoli and chicken for dinner. Took a nap to try to ease the pain but it didn't help much. I hope tomorrow is better.....especially since it's payroll processing day.

Day 1
Oh my stars! It's been a year since my last post. Where has the time gone?
I thought I would use this space to journal my 5-week cleanse. Monday the 19th I agreed to try it. Tuesday and Wednesday I ate everything in sight. This includes 6 doughnuts on Wednesday. Six! And I didn't even get sick. Jee, you'd think my brain has it out for me, huh? Thursday I got under control and Friday I didn 't eat chocolate or sugar all day until I ate a small bowl of ice cream after dinner....and got sick. I had such a bad tummy ache.
This morning I got up and dressed and went to the Sunflower Market. I spent $130 on organic meats, eggs and produce. I ate the chocolate shake before I left and about 60 minutes later I was running for the bathroom. This shake is part of the plan so don't think I stopped at Wendy's or Maggie Moos.
When I got home I grilled the chicken on my George Foreman grill...that I love so much! I fixed a salad with a cup of baby spinach, a cup of arugula, one avocado, one tomato, one grated carrot and 1TBLS of Annie's garlic vinagarette. Mmm, what a great meal. For my afternoon snack I had another chocolate shake. This one I put in some ice and whipped it with my Braun. Mmmmm For dinner I ate about an ounce of chicken, 2 carrots and a tomato.
The next 6 days I can eat most veggies and organic chicken and fish and eggs. No sugar, no fruit, no grains, no dairy, no soda (no alcohol either but that's not a problem). Starting on the 23rd day I can eat one fruit, then add one each day. After the 5-week cleanse I can slowly add in other foods, but sparingly. I think this diet is close to the Word of Wisdom. ....lots of veggies and whole foods. If I cheat I have to start over. The purpose of this cleanse is to kill the yeast (Candida) in my body. Yeast feeds on sugars, that's why I can't eat any. Pray for me that I can do this cleanse. Days 8-12 I think will be the hardest. But I'll get into that later.
Day one almost over. Do you know how sweet carrots taste?
