I Don’t Have Much Time….
I’m in a HUGE hurry! My family just left for swimming lessons, and I have exactly one and a half hours until they return.
I’m hoping to get the kitchen cleaned up from dinner, and to get a double batch of chocolate chip banana muffins made. If I managed to accomplish that, then I have no idea what to do, but seeing as I’m already burning up the minutes on here – I’m sure that’s going to be the least of my worries.
Here I am DAY 2 of the STUPID cleanse. I’m sure that if I had more appropriate food in my house that it wouldn’t suck quite so bad, but seeing as my food consumption today has consisted of 2 salads made up entirely of lettuce (oh, I did put cucumber on my lunch salad, and some left-over chicken), 3 eggs, some sole (for dinner), a small handful of almonds that I made the “kid fund” buy me, and a carrot! OH! And WATER – LOTS OF WATER! I threw the carrot in there last, because I wanted to mention it.
Ummmmmmmmm…………..Apparently, if you don’t have a ton of veggies in the house, and you eat 5 whole carrots while doing a cleanse (like yesterday) – ummmm………..things come out orange. Like seriously!!!!! Like really, freaky orange – like if I didn’t know that those orange puff cheesies make your kids pooh green, then I would have thought that I secretly ate like 50 bags of that stuff. It was kinda weird! Make me wonder if tomorrow will have a little green surprise for me considering all the lettuce I ate! Alrighty then…movin’on…….
So, I ate crap healthy food while everybody else had home made lasagna, and it smelled so good! I;m surprised at how delicious it smelled! Normally I wouldn’t even notice it, but apparently my sense of smell is in full hyper deprivation mode!
I have to say that I do feel a little better today than I did yesterday! I’ve managed to keep the “worse case scenario demons” at bay today! We’ve moved down a few levels from “I’m dying!” to “It shouldn’t be that serious, after all I don’t feel like I’m dying – do I????
I do have to wait until next Wednesday to find out the result, but I think I can hang in until then.
Going back to how I’m feeling better than I did yesterday. By last night, I wanted to remove my head from my body, and crush it under one of those large garbage bins! I had the worst headache! Seriously (or not), it was at migraine level, and I went to bed at 9:30pm, and rolled around thrashing and screaming (the migraine thing was for real – this was the “or” not part of it – just in case you couldn’t figure that out) until 10pm when I went to sleep.
I woke up this morning, and actually felt better than I have in a while. Not sure how much if that has to do with locking up the “worse case scenario demons” or with the cleanse, but whichever, I’m thrilled!
I felt a lot more energized today than I have in a while. Again, see above paragraph as to my reasoning.
I’ve had no headache today and for that I am truly grateful! Well, I have no more time to devote to you dear Internet friends and family, but I’ll try to find some more time tomorrow! My love to you all! Slobbery kisses and huge hugs
