Detox = Epic Fail
So my yoga teacher offered us a weekend detox agenda and fresh juice. Being the wonderfully unhealthy and stressed out person I am, I took it up like candy. I really didn't think I could make it through the two days without food - and all in all I didn't - but I stuck to the foods outlined in the plan- at least until about 7pm.
I was to have this dinner of vegetable juice, which seemed harmless enough. I bought it at a store even. I came down with a migraine I can only assume was because of either not eating or having no caffeine but I kept chugging forward. By the time I was 3/4s done with my veggie juice I felt awfully nauseous. Not being person who regularly eats tomatoes it didn't occur to me that the acidity of the juice might make me sick. The sickies were getting to be too much so I ate some white rice in an effort to absorb all the acid. No dice. By 8pm I had thrown up twice and detox was officially over.
I tried though - at least there is that. Mike and I have decided that we shall do our own version of detox after I get home from NOLA and his sounds a lot safer. Le sigh - I'd feel bad but I'm about to have Quiznos for lunch. Can't debate that glory!
