So I woke up today earlyish but didn't get out of bed til 8am because I broke my no-laptop-in-bed rule and was reading emails and blogs and whatnot this morning. In any case, I got out of bed and sort of felt a little lightheaded when I actually stood up, I didn't really drink all that much of the lemonade yesterday, maybe 5 glasses or so in all (I'm basing this on an 8-oz glass, in case you were wondering), so maybe that had something to do with it.
Speaking of the number 5, it's day 5, and that marks the halfway mark, a milestone of sorts. Not much has changed, I'm not hungry, I feel good, my senses are heightened, my hands are cold (a detox symptom), and... well not much else has changed. The novelty of cleansing is starting to wane and I think I felt sort of annoyed with the whole process this morning. Come to think of it, I was reading some rather depressing things online this morning and although I knew that probably wasn't the best or most positive way to start my day (not to sound like a west coast new age weenie or anything), so maybe that had something to do with it, but in any case, I wasn't really eager to start flushing.
It's times like these that it really helps to have a cleanse buddy. It's not an absolute necessity, mind you. Let's face it, not eating for 10+ days is kind of a pain in the ass, to say the least and it helps to have someone to commiserate with. I mean, it's not like I don't have friends that are empathetic or anything, but... anyway.
Ok, so onto the practical details of today. I didn't have any psyllium or bentonite yesterday, somewhat because I got a bit lazy (probably why I didn't drink much yesterday either), but even when I realized that I hadn't, I didn't do much to try to get some in. I wanted to see whether or not the clumpy bits of stuff that I was expelling was in fact the psyllium and the clay or not. Well... it must have been, because all that came out this morning was liquid. Well, all I could see was liquid, and it was dark. I think I felt some semi-solid bits come out, but I couldn't see them because the liquid was really really dark, darker than any of the other stuff that came out previously. Further obfuscating the issue is the fact that I have blue 2000 flushes toilet bowl cleaner in my toilet tank, and my toilet water is blue, so I can never really judge properly what color it is unless it's a floaty.
Oh, I have been taking something called Parafree, which is supposed to rid your guts of parasites. I started taking that sunday night, I think. Not sure if it's doing anything.
Anyway, feeling alright. Just a normal day, not the sort of euphoric "I'm on a cleanse and all is awesome with the world" day that I'd been hoping for. 5 more days, I've come this far, no turning back now.
