straddling existential dread and sheer ecstasy
7 Jun
Yeah, I didn’t last past Day 4. Weee. Well, there was a run-off election on Saturday and I found myself walking and talking in the heat of the (all) day. Was worth it even if Michelle didn’t win (which is unfortunate because Kyle needs high quality people like her leading on council). So anyhow, I was done but I’m still keeping a lid on my eating habits this time around. I’m maintaining stability and haven’t gained any of the 11lbs I lost during that time. I might try to go into it again in a week or two (perhaps after father’s day). I have to say that I notice each time I go through the detox I feel more “chilled out.” Not sure what kind of side effect that is but between that and the not getting sick (thanks to God) since I’ve started this strategy, I’m fairly happy with it all.
I forgot to mention that Magda went on the Detox with me this time (the day after I started). She made it 5 days and did great throughout that time. Looks like we’ll be trying to do this more often in the future but together. It is definitely helpful to have a support system in place when you do this otherwise its very difficult to achieve the stated goal of 10 days.
