Day three
Boo. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Detoxing ain't for wusses. The inner complainer has been out all day, whining about all kinds of things. My head hurts. My muscles ache. I can't sit comfortably. Boo. Wah.
This past night I was woken up at around 1am by the sound of a car alarm. Perks of living in the city. It wouldn't have been so bad if it had just been shut off a few minutes later. But no. The owner was either sound asleep and slept through the whole thing or too lazy to get up and deal with it. I even checked if it was mine, and my car doesn't have a car alarm. I was upset, but let go of the anger and slept in soundly until my own alarm went off.
But now, 5:21 pm, I admit I'm feeling discouraged. The headache is still there and I'm being stubborn about taking advil for it.. But I think I will. No sense fighting with it. Mind you they say taking meds like that will prevent the body from correcting itself, but I ain't about to sit through another few hours with this headache. And the legs. My legs are worse today.
It's a pain that is familiar to me; it used to be very present, on a daily basis even, before I began this holistic journey. The stress I wasn't managing took up residence in my leg muscles and kicked and screamed and burned almost 24/7. So today I know the difference, and I know this pain will work itself out. It's because I've cut out wheat and sugar from my diet, abruptly. My body is in shock. Now she's rebelling, like a kid throwing a temper tantrum in order to get something she wants. But that's a fight worth sticking out for.
Food for the day - more of the same, I'm approaching the need to do groceries so it'll get switched up soon enough; I had the same breakfast, and leftover veggies for lunch. Very satisfying. Tonight I'm going all out and making a mini-Mexican fiesta. Homemade refried beans, guacamole and salsa chips. Why not right? I have to jet over to the theatre soon after, so forgive me if I smell the place up.
Peace and love,
Katie
