Final day of the cleanse...

Yes, I admit...I am a quitter. Yesterday was day 1 of the cleanse. My goal was to go 14 days. It went well yesterday, and aside from being pretty hungry, we were doing well and going strong (in determination, not physically, lol.) Well, I woke up this morning and felt really really weak. I crawled out of bed and stumbled down the hall to the couch. I almost passed out on the walk out. I couldn't believe how light headed and faint I felt. I sat on the couch, and realizing I couldn't even sit up without nearly passing out, I lay down. I texted Jeff to see how he was doing and was thrilled for him, yet bummed for me, he was doing "great!!" He wasn't weak, wasn't faint and was only slightly hungry. My mom came downstairs a few minutes later and was a bit shocked by my appearance. Both her and Jeff kept asking if I was experiencing "normal" symptoms. I didn't remember seeing these symptoms in all the researching I've done, but looked it up again. It was not a symptom that anyone had experienced. My mom then muscle tested me to see if the cleanse was even beneficial for my body. She tested negative. Then she tested Jeff, who tested positive. After talking with my mom, Jeff and praying for a while. I ended up deciding that I was only doing my body harm (as not all cleanses are meant for everyone) I ate a banana, and decided I will still drink the lemon water and continue detoxing, but I'm going to have to eat something while on it. Originally I decided I'd eat raw foods and continue with the cleanse. But after talking with another lady who had just done the cleanse (and actually, she ended up in the hospital after finishing it) I decided to tailor it more. I'm going to continue eating small portions while drinking the lemon water. I will not eat sugar, white flour, no eating out and no processed foods. So, I am still going to be cleansing, only in a way that will help my body, not tear it down.

I feel so horrible for Jeff!! I spent a week researching it and we were both so gungho to start it, so I feel terrible to be quiting, while he is still excited to coninue with it. :'( Poor guy. But he's such a sweetie, he is totally encouraging me to not do the full on cleanse and isn't making me feel bad for quiting. LOL, I still feel like a horrible fiance though.

So anyways...keep Jeff in your prayers, for him to stay strong and keep on going. And also for me, to keep eating healthy and for the whole process to go quickly. :) thanks!
