I can't believe I'm doing this, lol. I decided to kick start the diet with a cleanse. I was having a hard time for a week: too many days off, too much free time so I ate too much! I do better with a structured day and prescribed mealtimes. So I am drinking this brown, herbal sludge for a week. The longest 5 days in history. I've made it to day three. I broke down and had some oatmeal last evening, but other than that, it's sludge in apple juice and lots of water on the side.
The first day wasn't too bad because one should be able to do anything for one day. It was no worse than a surgery prep. Day two was okay. I was back to work in my structured environment. Today remains to be seen. I'm looking forward to a nice breakfast Saturday morning.
A real benefit of this is the amount of water I'm drinking. It's 2 glasses after each glass of sludge, 5 times a day. With the sludge, I'm getting 15 glasses of fluid each day. It will be a challenge to keep that up when I am done with this. A glass an hour. All day. At least I have only been up twice each night and I'm happy the bathroom is close.
Oh, oh, oh, and I am off my blood pressure medicine!! I'll go back to my doctor at the end of March and see how it's going. Wish me luck. I want to stay off the meds if I can.
