Day #2...It was ROUGH!

Not going to sugar coat it folks...today was rough! I can't speak entirely to the science of it, so I will put it in simple terms for ya: I am pretty sure that my body is in SHOCK! I am not sure if it is the absence of Diet Coke, sugar (in all of its varieties) or refined white flour? But does it really matter...it is all crap (in the volumes that I was consuming)! If I am going to be totally honest as I document this journey, I had to dig deep to get through this morning. I woke up, got the kids up and started to make breakfast. It was a "normal" snapshot in time. As I started cooking breakfast I felt extremely sick. I shook it off and tried to keep plugging along, but the nausea got the best of me and I was down for the count. Thank goodness for Wes! He too is feeling "off," as he detoxes from the "DC", sugar and flour; but he got up, got kids ready and took them to school (as I suffered). I finally just decided that the best thing to do was to "sleep it off." I went back to bed and did not wake up until 11:30. When I woke up I felt a tad bit better, but was not interested in food. I had a 1/2 of a banana to curb the relentless churning of my stomach and dragged myself to the couch. An hour or so later I had a 1/2 of an avocado with a drizzle of EVOO and a handful of almonds. A half hour or so after that, I started to feel a little better, so I finished the other half of my banana. I sat around all day (and felt guilty about it). I started to question how legit this "plan" of mine really is? Then the kiddos came home from school and were "unscathed" and I told myself to "buck up." If my 12 year old, 10 year old, 5 year old and 4 year old are able to plow through, then I can certainly rise to the occasion. I had thrown a pork roast in the crockpot for dinner earlier in the day and the wonderful aroma motivated me to get with the program and make dinner! So pork roast, roasted sweet potatoes, whipped cauliflower and garden salad was dinner for the Davie's tonight...and it was delicious! Here's to a better day tomorrow! ~Jen
