We have reached the halfway point in our clean journey. We decided last night to wait until dinner to have our solid meal. No big deal, right? It sounds very nice to have a regular meal at night. UNTIL, I watch and smell my coworkers eat a Wendy's Chicken Sandwich, Taco Bell, and the piece de resistance... a personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut. Anyway, I went ahead and slurped up my pineapple and mango smoothie. After I busted through the cravings and aromas of the other foods, it was great. I continue to feel awesome and the last pounds are dropping off me pretty quickly (you know, the ones that don't go away with diet and exercise). I have determined that I am actually detoxing and the garbage that was slowing down my progress is working its way out of my system. They say that a majority of the toxins go out through your lungs. This must be the case, because it is not in the john.
One side effect that Iowa Girl is feeling tonight is the dreaded detox headache. It is promised in the book within the first week, so I was sure I had breezed by that issue. Not the case. It crept on about 3 this afternoon and is continuing to hang on. Being diligent to the Clean, I am not going to take an Advil - although let's be honest, we all know that would pretty much be the sweetest thing right now. As for not having our meal until this evening, Boat Guy said it right. It was a well conceived idea, just like last Saturday night. An evening together, drinking water from our wine glasses and enjoying a rather gourmet meal. UNTIL, I spent a lovely afternoon on the boat with Confessed Coupon Addict, her hubby and many friends. It was as if the Doritos
Fairy had dropped in to each of the boats. Cool Ranch, Nacho Cheese and all just inches from my now salivating palate. As I've stated before, OH THE HUMANITY!!! I, somewhat miserably, went to my cooler and pulled out my mango & pineapple smoothie. After some good natured ribbing about the amount of water and not cocktails I drank this afternoon, I was truly ready for a yummy, and yes it was yummy, meal with Boat Guy.
Until Next Time - Happy Cleaning!
