whew

I am finished with the cleansing regime but not feeling peachy yet.
I watched the clock until it had been 2 hours since the last dose of epsom salts.
I have had a headache, back ache and severe lethargy.
I have heard of coffee something or other with  cleansing, but what I was craving was tea.
So I had a cup of tea. It was fabulous.
Prior to the tea, I had been quite disappointed in the number of so-called gallstones I was not seeing in the toilet bowl. After the tea, whoosh. I whole bunch came out. I said to myself, "Listen to your intuition!"
I'm having another cup of tea, black, but not Irish Breakfast. It's after 11 a.m., and I don't do well with caffeine too late in the day. However, being that I feel like somebody injected me with concrete, I also feel I need a boost of the juice...a charge of caffeine.
I'm waiting also for the effects of the epsom salts to be over in order to take a nice long soak in epsom salts. Then maybe a walk with the dog, who has been ever so patient with me. It's highly unusual that I am so larthargic.
I don't recall with past cleanses feeling so parched thirsty either. I tried to drink the tea slowly but will also treat myself to a glass of water too. I have one half hour before I'm really supposed to ingest anything. Oh well.
BTW, I dropped 5 pounds overnight, but we know that is all water and will be back straight away. It still feels good to see the scale at 140, even if it's temporary. (if I magically lost 2 more pounds, I would be over the top excited and energized!)
Keeping in mind that I'm doing this so as to get better bloodwork, I also have in mind to stay on a healthy diet regime for the next week and a half. ( have the whole thyroid issue also and want that bloodwork to look good). I'm definitely going to visit the green smoothie website my friend told me about. Thanks Elizabeth.
I'm also grateful for the great library book my neighbor recommended. I've been parked by the wood heater for a day and a half now with a real mover. Thanks Jim.
I am beginning to feel like I can get back into the swing of this whole pound chasing exercise.
