God Brings men into deep waters, not to drown them, but to cleanse them.
Phew, day 2 and I am being cleansed from the inside out! Another day of feeling like crap, unusually tired, fuzzy head, no energy, slightly sore throat, just plain under the weather! No headache today though. But, I am resting, reading the bible, and having fun sharing the couch with my dog for half the day! My food intake today was really good again. Healthy clean, fresh foods. I seem to feel like eating during the morning the most, every 2 hours or so. Then by 3pm today I had 2 slices of gluten free bread and vegemite and cheese and I haven't felt hungry since. I'm really listening to my body and respecting it's ability to let me know if I want food or not. Still drinking heaps of water. Cooked the boys a nice steak dinner tonight, but didn't feel hungry at all, so I just put some aside in the fridge for tomorrow! I actually went on a 40 minute walk this morning, even though my head was totally out of it! It was a blessing that it was only 12 degrees with a freezing wind to keep me awake!! It didn't make me feel any better, but I wanted to get some fresh air and start to move my body again. I know I'll start feeling better in a few more days. It just feels like I've got a virus or bad cold at the moment. I haven't been craving caffeine today, just more mourning the fact that I won't be visiting Gloria Jeans much anymore. I haven't been craving any foods in particular. I'm taking a Chromium supplement, which is meant to help me with any sugar cravings. It works by assisting the body to metabolize carbohydrates, lipids and protein, so basically stabilizing my blood glucose levels. I guess it's working! I'm also taking Olive Leaf Extract, and Swiss Ultra Green and Swiss multi vitamins. So hopefully I'll get another good nights sleep like last night and be able to ride out tomorrow OK! It's all good...
Cheers, Tam
Glad today was headache free and I hope you got another good night's sleep. You might actually HAVE a cold - those symptoms sound very familiar! Take care and thanks for sharing your days x
ReplyDeleteMum! Oh goodness, I SO know what you're going through...feeling like you've got a cold, but you actually dont.. do you know what was amazing today? I had to do a Uni assignment (1200 word essay...HELP!) and I was freaking out because I'd been so muddy-headed all day yesterday, and last night I only got about 5-and-a-half hours sleep, but God is so good! I was clear headed, awake and alert while I was writing it, and then literally about fifteen minutes after I'd finished, it was back to fuzzy-headedness and ready for a SLEEP. Amazing! He gives us enough strength for each day.
ReplyDeleteHope you've had a good one today :) xx
Hi beautiful! It's clear that you are being upheld and blessed with grace! We both need as much grace as possible this week as I think we may have the same cold on top of this detox process, so we've got double trouble to deal with! But we WILL succeed and come through feeling a whole heap better! I hope your sugar cravings have subsided a little. I'm being very careful not to eat bread or cereal or pasta or chips this week as they will continue to trigger my cravings, so maybe you better steer clear of carbs as much as possible too. You need to reset your whole body. But don't try to purposely limit calories! Just eat lots of protein and veges, a bit of dairy and some berries when ever you really need to. Don't do any strenuous exercise just yet either! Give your body a break and try to get heaps of rest!! Love you.
