Okay, so I haven't exercised in... I can't remember. A long time. I'm going to say a couple months at least. And it was probably a couple months before that ( Read more... )

So, it would seem that I have sciatica. Which I was under the impression was an affliction of 60-year-old men. I tell you what, it's always going to be an interesting day when it starts by you googling "Why is my butt tingling?" My lower back, butt, and tops of the backs of my legs are all squidgy and tingly and not fun. It's like when you're ( Read more... )

Detox Journal: Day Twenty-TwoWell, kids, it's pretty much over. Had some sauteed broccoli last night, first cooked thing I've had in two weeks. The last week is just supposed to be maintenance, similar to the first week.

Had to drive all the way to Karyn's so I could quench my hunger, but I did get to choose random veggies to go into my juice this time [asparagus, anyone ( Read more... )

Detox Journal: Day FifteenThe juice fast has begun. Since the last food I had was last night around 9:00, right now it's more like I just had a very light breakfast. Not getting hungry yet. The people at the juice bar by my house are going to be getting to know me. They're about 1/4 the price of Karyn's, and much much closer to me, so I'll be ( Read more... )

Detox Journal: Day ElevenStill no major reactions. Got a little nauseous after drinking four ounces of wheatgrass at once the other night, but who wouldn't ( Read more... )
