The Master Cleanse Day 11!

No food for 11 days. Including ThanksGiving. I'm not crapping ya. (I have been crapping but I'd rather not go into it thanks anyway. Very ahem, fluid situation.)

I wrote about this last week and it's been quite a journey for Randee and I. Today it's over.
We don't go rushing back to food though. There's a couple of days of coming down in the form of orange juice, then vegetable soup broth, then the soup including the veggies then by day 3-4 your back on normal food.

How do I feel?
Lighter. Different. Sleeping better-deeper. Not as groggy, logy or worn out.
I know it sounds crazy but we haven't eaten solid food in 11 days and it's been pretty easy.
Sure it's been weird. We were at a huge ThanksGiving dinner at my in-laws and I made the
gravy, carved the turkey then sat down at the table and had a cup of tea. No I wasn't going nuts.
Yes, it was very odd.
Odd that the food didn't affect me or Randee. It wasn't an issue.

Over the past week and a half it seems very puzzling to people that a person can go without food but the #1 question surrounds coffee!
"I could never give up coffee," is something I must have heard a hundred times.
I hear ya, but really it was simple. I had a slight headache day 2 and then no problem.

I will be trying not to go back to coffee right away and I'm going to start watching what I eat a bit more. Maybe I won't have 2 giant glasses of red wine with supper every night and oh I don't know, maybe I'll stop ordering Poutine at the movies for a while. (Dang the French, why did they invent this palate pleaser and why does it have to be so freaking good?)

I would recommend this for anyone who is looking for a system re-boot. That's how I feel. It's like
I've cleaned out a few files and organized my desktop. (Believe me some of those file weren't pretty!)
In case your interested I lost nearly 12 pounds.
In case your curious go here.
