living My Element With Sylwia - Day 42

I know it's a bit too early to write about my whole day's eating intake and how my cleansing is going, however, I have a feeling the remainder of the day will be like it has been.

I have overloaded my body with fiber.  For the past 4 or 5 days, I have eaten above the required intake of fiber.  It's been great to eliminate a bunch of toxins or stagnant crap that sometimes gets stuck inside of us, but I'm not sure that a fiber overload has been the best thing for my body.  I feel a little lethargic.  All I want to do is sleep.

Today was supposed to be day 5 (Read the first blog about the cabbage soup diet and it describes what day 5 should be like.)  I took my own route and fed myself what my body was asking for.  In the morning, I had a big glass of water, about 1 hour later, I had 1/2 of a multi-grain bagel.  For lunch, I had lettuce, tomatoes, some avocado and a can of tuna.  I also had a carrot/orange juice/smoothie.  No soup as of yet.  And, I'm not very sure if there will be any soup intake today.

So, I did not finish the cleansing as it was written, but I accomplished what I set out to accomplish.  I spent almost a week eating nothing but natural ingredients.  No soda, no refined sugar, no red meat.  Lots of water, greens, #1 and #2 (lol).   I feel cleansed.  Now it's a matter of keeping up the equilibrium and not dive into the sugary fest or soda fountain whenever a little craving comes along.

Still working on fitting exercise into my schedule.. ;p
