Where do I begin!!??? This has been such an amazing experience! I have also been unbelievably busy, so I wasn't able to keep up with the journaling like I wanted to. I apologize for that. Now let's catch up on things!
I began week 2 by fasting for 24 hours. I consumed water, green juice, and herbal tea all day. The next day I was sure to take my organic, vegetarian supplement with pre and pro biotics and a tablespoon of bee pollen. My body and mind felt wonderful after that! I expected to feel hungry and cranky, but that wasn't the case at all.
In week 2 I also added a digestive enzyme (all vegetarian) with every meal, even with juices. This decreased any tummy discomfort I was having. I also had to really delve into my meditation. Week 2 was very emotional for me. The detoxing process was taking place in my body and it had a lot of gunk to get rid of. I realized that I also had a lot of emotional and mental gunk to get rid of as well. Also, sugar and processed foods are definitely addictive. Coming off of them was very similar to coming off of a drug. Sometimes I could smell french fries and sweets from far away, and I began to go through withdrawal (haha). At times, it made me a little mean too. My poor son!
By the end of the week, I was feeling better again and the symptoms had starting to take a new form. My baths and reflections really helped and set me back in the right state of mind. I constantly had to remind myself of the benefits and hang in there. Quitting was not an option for me.
