Detox - Day 4
This has been the hardest day by far. I honestly can say I do not feel hungry. I honestly can tell that I have more energy and have definately been “eliminating”. However, I want solid food! I read in one person’s detox journal that on day 4 they wanted to eat their keyboard if they could for the simple pleasure of chewing and swallowing and now I can totally agree and understand what was meant by the comment.
My purpose of doing this detox was purely to cleanse my internal organs/system of all the over-the-counter energy boosters & drinks, cigarettes, alcohol, fast food, processed food, preservatives, etc that I have been carelessly putting in my body over the past year and a half. I am NOT doing this to lose weight. Yes, losing weight is a side effect of detoxing but I know that whatever I may lose I will gain most of back. I’m not cutting into my fat stores, just getting rid of water.
One thing that I had read in a few detox blogs was that several folks said they had a heightened sense of smell. I have that now too but I’m not sure if its from the detox itself or just smelling how wonderful food smells and wanting to eat something I can’t have!!
I will stick with this for at least a couple more days…don’t want to waste the lemons and expensive organic maple syrup. But seriously I’m ready to eat and ready to eat wisely!

Well hon, you know I always stay true and speak my mind.
I am not a fan of detox, but it seems like you know what you’re doing. For that matter, I support you!
Just don’t eat the keyboard….if you do just lie and say the mouse chewed on it. hehe
And I love you for that! I’m glad you tell it like it is! don’t ever stop!!
You’ll have to do a bootie bounce for me when I can eat a piece of chicken! I’m so looking forward to some roasted chicken breast with a salad!! LOL
Step AWAY from the keyboard…
Huggggggggggggggs,

Heh, I feel like eating my keyboard and I’m not detoxing
I have been hungry as a bear all day! Definitely doesn’t sound like something I would want to try, but if it is doing you some good, hope you can hang in there a few more days!
I love the chewing…that has got to be difficult. But I understand what your trying to do and for that…good for you! I hope you feel totally refreshed.
