You may be wondering why Cliff and I started the detox on different days… We originally agreed we would both start this past Monday and that would be our “Day 1”. Well…You see…I got on the scale last Friday night and got a reality check!  I know everyone weighs more at night but the scale was reading higher than I hoped.  At first I was totally convinced that the scale was off and that it was not zeroed before I got on it to weigh myself.  I demanded that Cliff “fix it” right away! After removing the batteries over and over again and restarting this scale, I came to the realization that it wasn’t the scale that needed fixing.  After some sulking, I am now no longer in denial about my weight gain. I can no longer blame my tight fitting pants on water retention.  I knew I had to start detoxing pronto and decided to start the next morning. The good news is I have lost 3 pounds so far and I am really excited for the process and seeing where I am at the end of January. Unfortunately I haven’t been sleeping that well the past few nights.  I have been waking up several times during the night and therefore do not wake up feeling refreshed. I took melatonin last night and listened to a meditation tape before bed.. but I still woke up in the middle of the night. I am rather foggy throughout the day and feel like I am on the verge of getting sick.  Is this my body detoxing?  Since I have been feeling under the weather, I decided to not increase my exercise at the moment and just concentrate on eating clean and not snacking at night.  Well.. that’s all for now. My brain is a bit foggy and it’s time for me to get to bed!  Night !
