Cleanse, Day 3

Yesterday I saw a picture of chocolates on my screen and salivated. I walked out of my house and down toward Powderhouse park and smelled fried chicken. Out on the bike path, the scent of donuts frying.

Ohhhhh.

Cleanse, Day 4

Woke up with a solid eight hours sleep; rather achy, but think that's from insufficient stretching at the gym Tuesday.

Had lovely steel-cut oats for brekkies, with a smidge of cultured butter, sale, maple syrup and berries. No green tea today: peppermint. Gonna see how I do with no caffeine.

Around 11 am I take my midmorning herbs and I have a slight headache. Hmmm. I'm guessing also that that hunger ert and I are both feeling, in spite of eating a normal amount of food, has to do with caffeine withdrawal - it is quite the appetite suppressant.

I go for the snacky-bars I made yesterday and found they haven't solidified; in fact, they seem to be a sort of pudding. I decide to bake it. The resulting consistency is rather like bread pudding. Pleasant.

Lunch is a big salad, greens and tomatoes and carrots, tuna and raw cheddar, and veggie soup with miso and tofu.

After the gym, was starving anyway, and had a little bowl of the millet "pudding" I seem to have made. Tasty!

Got to the Diesel around 6 and was still headaching, so finally succumbed to the green tea. Then had Thai food, which sadly had egg in it, which I wasn't supposed to have. But edamame, rice noodles, veggies and chicken with spicy basil sauce did me good.

For the first time, wasn't exhausted at 10:30 pm.
