So, Day 2 & 3 had their challenges but they weren't the challenges I was expecting. I had expected to crave and long for coffee and tea, but so far, that has not happened. I have been hungry, which needn't really happen on this detox because I can eat as much as I want, of certain foods that is, it just so happens there is only so much of those certain foods that I actually want to eat. I do need to get more creative, but I also think it has something to do with the fact that I am eating the same size portions that I normally eat, just cleaner food, which it seems does not fill me up for quite as long...and I cannot snack on sweet stuff. I don't eat a lot of sweet stuff...but I do definitely eat sweet stuff. A little square of chocolate here and there goes a long way I find to satisfy a need. This week and next however...no chocolate for me. That is what I am missing most so far. I guess that is not exactly a huge revelation though!
Energy has been low and challenged also. I found myself dancing level 1 in Nia class on Tuesday evening....I think I actually checked the clock during class...that never happens! And yesterday, was the worst day so far. I crashed in the afternoon. I actually fell asleep in a yoga pose. A Backbend of all poses...I was trying to restore some energy in a yin practice but I was simply too tired, so my next pose was restorative...and the next pose after that was sleep-asana, in the middle of the afternoon. Most unusual for me. I wondered if I was sickening for something...but today I awoke feeling OK. Not exactly bouncing out of bed yet but it was an improvement and today has been easier. I've been able to focus on writing and working on some things I have simply not felt up to since I started this thing. I am looking forward to tomorrow...hopefully Day 5 will bring a little more energy into my life....
