Walk around the block.
When I'm sleeping, don't knock on my door all morning. If I want you to wake me up early, I'll tell you. Otherwise, my door is shut (and now locked) for a reason. Is that too much to ask?
Today is Day 9. I remember reading in someone's blog that as the days grew, the less they found themselves drinking. I fell asleep before I finished the rest of my spicy lemon water last night.
I only have a lime left, so I'm going to split it in half for tomorrow, because I can't shop until Monday. Tomorrow is typically the last day of the cleanse, but I honestly want to keep going. I'm being encouraged to stop at midnight so I can be drunk for Halloween. Honestly, now that I've come this far, I don't want to break it just yet. And why the hell would I come off of a detox only to binge drink? Totally negates everything I've worked for. I know that the next time I drink alcohol, I'm going to town, and I'm not gonna waste that on keg beer, when I could just lengthen the cleanse. I'll enjoy some fine wine when I feel like I deserve it.
This cleanse has definitely taken a toll on my body and mind."So if you feel like this, why don't you just quit?". Because, of course I'm going to be exhausted sometimes, I just have to stick it out. Because overall, I will feel a lot better. Because most of the time, I feel good. And accomplishing this much is motivation to accomplish more. I've proven to myself that I am powerful and in control, when before I felt little and helpless. See, this is all about me. I have challenged my body, I have exercised my mind in setting goals and will power, and spiritually, I feel like a better person because I want to be clean, and I am actively working at it. My body is something I should have paid more attention to, because it houses my mind and my heart. All three should be polished well to work in harmony.
This is why other people not understanding is forever irritating me.
I'm on edge today. I need to go take a walk.
