Today just didn’t work well for a play-by-play because I was away from my computer so much.  I was out at the chiropractor and cleaning the house and making dinner and playing cards with our friend.

But here’s a run-down of how the day went.  I was really tired a lot of the day.  And it didn’t take much to wear me out.  I had to trek up and down the stairs about four times in a row, bringing up ironing and sewing things, and it was a lot more exhausting than it had any right to be.  I was a little loopy at the chiropractor appointment, but I hadn’t eaten much at all at that point and hadn’t had any water, so I downed almost 20 oz between the chiropractor’s and home (yea for remembering my water bottle in the car) and that helped.  So did the entire cantaloupe that I ate while doing the ironing.   For dinner, I made cauliflower soup, that I added too much water to, and it was really yummy, and a completely no-sugar, nothing but apples applesauce that was also really delicious.  This mixing fruits and veggies thing is awesome.  I’m going to miss that on days 5 and 6.

My energy level right now is low again, but it’s getting late in the evening, we just said adieu to our friend (who also wasn’t feeling well), and it’s just been that kind of day for almost everyone we’ve spoken to today.  Anyway, not that thrilling of a day overall.  And hopefully tomorrow will go better.

Cheers!

Today I eat nothing but fruits and vegetables.  Today I’m am a vegi-fruitarian.  Or a fruity vegetarian.  One or the other.   I can eat all the fruits and veggies I want as long as it isn’t bananas or starchy.  No potato for me tonight.

Here’s what the all the days on this diet look like, since I guess I forgot to go over that earlier.

Day 1: as many fruits as I can handle, but not bananas.

Day 2: as many veggies as I can handle, but nothing starchy, so no peas, corn, potatoes, etc.  But I do get a baked potato with butter for dinner.

Day 3: a combination of days 1 & 2, but no potato for dinner.

Day 4:  fruits and veggies, plus a couple bananas.

Day 5:  veggies again, but also fresh tomatoes (up to 6) and meat (10-20 oz)

Day 6:  veggies and meat again, but no tomatoes

Day 7:  back to day 3 again — fruits and veggies, but no bananas and nothing starchy.

The whole time, nothing to drink but water and unsweetened decaffeinated tea/coffee.  I can use a tiny little bit of artificial sweetener, but should avoid it if I can.  I can use a tiny little bit of oil, but should also avoid that if possible.  Nothing bread.  Nothing dairy (except the butter on day 2).  The point is to cleanse my system of as many things as possible, but my primary goal is to detox from sugar, white flour, and caffeine.  After I’m done, I’ll be avoiding those things as much as possible, which is going to stink, but not nearly as much as this week does. 

So!  There you go!

Last night I slept for a solid 12 hours and I feel SO good.  I’m kind of hungry right now, but I’ve only eaten a grapefruit so far this morning and I should go get something more than that.  I’m thinking fondly of the other half of the acorn squash I didn’t finish yesterday, so I might go chomp on that.  Today I have to get a lot of stuff accomplished before our friend arrives this evening.  We have  a chiropractor appointment in a couple minutes and then I have to do the ironing that’s draped all over the couch and clear up all my sewing stuff that’s on the dining room table, along with a couple other projects.  It’s going to storm this afternoon, by the looks of the sky, so staying inside and cleaning up some projects should be a perfect way to spend the afternoon.

Time for me to get ready for my appointment!
