Wow....Detox is no fun.

Hi Stephen,

Well, today is day one of my new diet....first I have to go through 3 days of "detox," and lemme tell ya, today royally sucked.  All I can "eat" are protein shakes, drink lots of water, and take some supplement pills that apparently clean out my system.  BLEAH.  I'm HUNGRY.  But, I only have to get through tomorrow and Tuesday, then I can eat real food again.

The thing that sucked most was trying to make lunch for my mom and Florence.  I finally had to ask my mom to cook for the two of them for the next couple of days, I just couldn't do it without wanting to eat it.

My sugar level went down rather low, too, and I had NO energy at ALL....I was like a zombie at one point, it was down to under 70....that's not very good for me at all, actually.  All I could do was lay around and feel like I was in a fog.  I finally told Pete I wasn't going to do this anymore, and he let me eat some banana, and an apple, and some canned spinach.  I also had to have 2 of my Glucose tablets.  Sheesh.

So anyway, this diet will either help me, or kill me, one or the other.

I do have to admit though, that the Atkins vanilla and chocolate protein shakes are pretty good.  We can mix them with strawberries or blueberries, too, in a blender with some ice if we want to.  We had that for lunch, and it was pretty tasty.  So, I'm tryin' to hang in there, but diets really just totally suck.

The sauna comes in handy, though.  It's one of those infrared sauna's, recommended by Dr. Oz, and it gets rid of more toxins in the body.  Now, I typically do a colon cleanse at least twice a year, but this apparently works even better than that, so you can burn 600 or more calories just by sitting there for a half hour, sweating.  I have to admit, I did feel MUCH better after I used the sauna, and showered.

Well, I'll keep you posted (as if you really give a shit), but hopefully I will be able to say "I AM THIN!" at some point in the near future.  If this diet works, I'm supposed to lose 30 pounds in less than 30 days.

Wish me luck.

Love you lots.  Hope you had a nice weekend.  Bye for now.

Love, Rebecca
