  1. Day 9

    Still up and running at 5:30 am which has really been great. I am finding that although I am more tired in the evening, I am actually waking up around 4am. I try to be in bed by 10pm to read or sleep. I am waking up alot during the night too, and I am not sure what is causing that. I am finally feeling AWAKE though when I do get up in the am, which is quite a change from what I used to feel!

    I ended up getting rid of all the left over 'temptations' from Easter, with the exception ...

  2. I am disappointed

    So, I went home for Easter this weekend, as I always do, and of course their was all this cooked food around. Well, I ate a bunch of popcorn and some rolls and steamed asparagus. I feel so yucky now. I am so congested and stuffed up. Today I am starting over, and completely dedicated to stick with it for the rest of April.

  4. Getting Started

    Wow, this last few days have been such a learning experience, and so exciting! Today I am on day 4, and I feel very sick. My husband is also sick, so I don't know if I have a cold or if I'm detoxing, or both. It's hard not taking medicine, but I know there's a purpose.
    Last night I woke up in the middle of the night and just HAD to have some citric acid. I felt sooo sick. I didn't have any oranges (which I was craving), so I sucked the juice right out of a lemon. It was so amazing! I instantly ...

  5. Day 8 - Easter Sunday

    Today I have really noticed a heightened sense of smell - it seems to get stronger every day. That is really the only thing I've noticed - although the few times I've eaten non-vegan cooked food (had a bite of egg salad last night and a latte w/ cow's milk on Friday) I notice that I get a sense of almost nauseating fullness instantly. I have never experienced this before - or maybe I just didn't notice it??? Anyway, it makes my desire for these foods lessen b/c it's so uncomfortable.
