Today was a slightly craptastic day. I had trouble (again) sleeping last night and woke 4 hours after I'd finally gone to bed.
The cravings on day 7 were pretty intense. At about midnight, I started having an intense desire for a triple cheeseburger with BACON, which is odd considering I am a vegetarian and don't usually eat that stuff.
I was actually pretty darn positive and happy for most of the morning and afternoon- so much so that I decided to go outside and do some gardening in the beautiful weather we're currently experiencing. That hour of movement took all the wind out of my sails and I ended up back in bed for an hour nap. I've been having lots of pains in my lower back, which is odd considering all the liquids I am drinking. I am just exhausted, period.
This MC has (without a doubt) been the most intensely exhausting one to date-- and I've done MANY master cleanses over the last decade. I honestly think that the 3 yrs. I've spent away from regular detoxing is mostly to blame. Prior to this MC, I was on an Ayurvedic mung and rice cleanse (which I LOVE and will actually go back on after completing this MC) for 40 days. My eating has been really clean for about 3 months. However, I'd been really, really awful with my diet before that and now I am paying the piper.
