It was truly a harder day today. I woke up hungry and stayed hungry all... day... long. Even with nutritious juices and broths, I just couldn't seem to fill the hole in my belly. The hunger pains should pass in another day or two, but it was truly a rely-on-God type of day. And get through we did - through a group grilling for lunch, a birthday party this evening, and a full-blown catered Mexican dinner that arrived on our doorstep late this evening (I LOVE Mexican food). At that point, I had to cry out to Jonathan to deal with the food coming into the house - I just couldn't handle another cookie, cupcake, or burrito on the counter anymore!
As for detox symptoms? Pretty good today, and I upped my water intake as I felt like I didn't get enough yesterday. The headache is gone, but a new side effect to me was my calf muscles just aching by seven pm, enough so that I took two Motrin to help get through the evening. I think I'm going to take a bit of extra magnesium at bedtime tonight to see if that will help (I can't do bananas in my juices - they give me horrid sores in my month). I also have found my gums being extra sensitive today and am not sure why, so I've been rinsing with salt water a couple of times today.
Right now, my biggest struggle is sleep. I seriously can't sleep... and I'm freezing! I was in the bathtub at 1 AM this morning to warm up and try to relax enough to fall asleep. I'm exhausted, but shifting my body from tiredness to sleep isn't happening very well the past two nights. Usually taking magnesium at night puts me out, but it hasn't helped at all.
So overall, day four was a struggle - praying that day five will be a wonderful day of worship and focus!
