It's been a little rough. I don't know if I am starting detox or not but my energy level is peaks and valleys. In the morning I feel like I can run a marathon, literally but then come the afternoon, I crash...and crash hard. After I lay down for an hour or so I get up make dinner and I'm fine until about 8ish... then I crash again.
It could be my body just getting used to my new pattern I guess. My blood sugar is the lowest it has been in years (not too low) and the times where I peak in energy, I really feel good. Cari said that she read somewhere that people with chronic illnesses like asthma and diabetes usually detox harder because they have a buildup of toxins from their meds. Sounds plausible, but maybe it's crazy talk.
I will be happy when the dehydrator gets here. I will be able to make granola and meat jerky (after 2 weeks). I love vegetables and everything we have made so far has tasted pretty good, but I am having a slight texture issue. I want something crunchy. I hope that some raw granola will do the trick.
All in all, I am still feeling really good. Aside from the energy issues, i actually feel better. I am having a hard time to remember to drink my water. I really need to stay hydrated as much as possible.
I made soup for the first time last night. It was a cucumber dill soup and it tasted great! the issue was that soup is supposed to be hot. I felt stupid eating a cold drink with a spoon. Even though it tasted wonderful, it just can't compute in my brain.
Tonight I made a leek salad with an excellent lemon olive vinaigrette. It tastes AWESOME!.
