Through Day 2 and we're still alive! Day 2 wasn't as bad as Day 1, but still challenging. 1 day of hunger our brain can handle but moving into day 2 our brain realizes we're starting to 'trend' and it's freaking out! We have probably watched 5 movies over the last two days just to escape our present reality. I'm hoping that in the next 2 days we can 'function' as normal in our daily lives without needing severe escape. We're getting used to the schedule and we both definitely had more energy. The ache of hunger still persists but it wasn't so bad. The headaches are starting to subside, but they still come and go for both of us. We haven't taken any tylenol or anything like that because it would shoot strait to our liver under such a cleansing regimen and we don't want to damage any vital organs. ;)
Here's to getting through Day 2! Thanks for the love. We couldn't do it without your prayers and support!

Detox Day 1
For those of you who weren't aware, we just started the detox yesterday instead of on the 1st because I had a conference in Austin and I didn't want to leave Andis to his own devices so early in the game! ;)
So, we've successfully made it through Day 1! Naturally, we woke up absolutely RAVENOUS yesterday morning which I think fits into Murphy's Law for sure, BUT we did it! We were a little cranky during the first part of the day and suffered from MAJOR headaches and low energy the 2nd part of the day, but managed to take a walk last night and slept like babies.
We get to consume something every 2 hrs. and though a lot of it looks like baby poop and tastes like grass, it's high in nutrients and pretty physiologically satisfying.
Lots of prep though! I spent all day Thursday cutting, washing and packaging up veggies, making big pots of tea and pulling out all of those ugly appliances; blender, food processor, etc.
So, I feel great this morning and we're off to a work day at our church! Thanks for your support and love!
