In the home stretch

Today is day 9 of 12 on the Wild Rose Detox.  This go 'round has been more challenging for me than previous cleanses.  I have been having headaches off and on this whole time.  I am usually headachy for the first couple of days, but then it clears up and I feel great.  I have also had  more cravings this time.  I must have been really toxic!
Last night was a friend's birthday, and I allowed myself a tiny piece of cake - it gave me a headache and I spent most of today feeling hungover.  Yuk!
I'm definitely less puffy thru the middle, but I have no starting weight to compare to.  No matter what, I'm cleaner on the inside than when I started.

back on the horse

After an extended period of extreme laziness, I am getting back on track.  I have started the Wild Rose detox program with my husband and mother-in-law - we are on day three.  If you've never tried it, it's a combination of cleansing and detoxifying herbs along with a fairly restrictive diet.  No sugar, dairy, flour of any kind, or anything fermented.  Lots of fish, brown rice, almonds, veggies and water, water, water.  I still have a bit of a headache (common), but am doing really well otherwise.  I need to break out of my funk and get my energy back.
I recently met with a friend trained in traditional Chinese medicine and will be picking up some herbs to help with my low energy and lousy sleep.  I'll wait until after the cleanse to start.
Tomorrow I'm going to have a detox foot bath with my mother-in-law - we'll see how that goes!
