Mood: Somewhat Positive
The main complaint is our energy level right now, which is something that isn't really talked about, but is apparently a detox symptom. The lack of caffeine and carbs has us feeling somewhat exhausted. This has led me to realize that I'm completely addicted to pasta. We are also realizing that we don't miss certain things that we thought we "needed" every day. Like wine, for instance. I'd like to think that we can live without caffeine, but I just don't think that's our reality. The nature of what we both do has many mental ups and downs throughout the day, and this is very hard to manage without a caffeine or sugar spike. I can live without the sugar, but I think caffeine is very necessary.
That being said, today is a little better than yesterday. We still do not feel hungry. Night time has been the hardest so far, since that is the time we snack. For us, part of the goal of the cleanse was to eliminate this need to snack. I think by the end, we will have it beat.
Our tongues have turned white and fuzzy! Apparently, when they've turned pink and clear, we will know we have successfully detoxed.
The salt water flush, while I'm still psyching myself out right before, was easier to get through today. So while ten days seems long, we are taking it a day at a time and making progress.
