Detox-a-go-go, Days 2 & 3

I realised that it's a bit hard to daily blog this detoxing business because I'm often not done with the whole bye-bye-nasty-bugs until quite late at night - so I'm rescinding my promise and instead promising to blog more often about it all.

5 recent detoxifying observations:

1. It's damn hard to eat that much protein. I'm supposed to have 1-2 'palm size' servings of protein at two meals. Dinner is fine but lunch is just....hard. Cans of tuna anyone?!

2. The not being "allowed" to eat some things isn't bothering me as much as I thought it might. The bread thing IS an issue, though (yes, I AM a big baby about it) so DH was sent off to acquire some gluten free bread. You know, that stuff isn't bad at all. Okay, so it's not GREAT and I wouldn't eat a whole loaf in one sitting, but it's really quite edible. I'm also finding I'm not wanting bread as much, anyway. (I didn't write that last sentence. I think the aliens overtook my body temporarily. Not wanting bread?!)

3. The supplements taste like shit, but you can get over this if you stir them like crazy into your morning juice and then chug the whole thing. I tried to eat a teaspoon of it raw - because that stuff does NOT actually dissolve in liquid - and ended up with a mouthful of sticky gelatine-esque sand which I then had to pick out of my teeth (are you loving this imagery or what?). Yeah. Not pretty.

4. I stupidly read the label of said supplement and discovered it's made out of bovine colostrum. Isn't colostrum early breast milk? I am drinking (and attempting to eat) COW BREAST MILK twice a day?! Gag. Puke. Hurl and shudder. What have I gotten myself into?

5. In the last 3 days I've eaten way more fruit and veg than normal, feel much fuller a lot of the time, and I'm sure it's my imagination but my skin looks better. Hmmm...

11 days to go - by the end of it I'm thinking I'll change Michelle to just "Elle" because, you know, it apparently is a name that works well for supermodels. (Which I am going to be.)
