Day Two Detox Missing Words Brain Tired

I feel so relaxed! I was a little worried this morning (the no coffee thing), and I considered staying in bed (I really didn't see any point in getting up), but then I realized that I could have green tea (decaf) and I can put a little half and half in it to give me the "illusion" of coffee. It was a nice warm beverage. I kept waiting for the little "kick" I usually get, but of course it never happened. I had three loan applications to submit this morning and I worried I would be too "groggy" to function, but nope. Turns out I'm quite chipper in the morning even without coffee!

I was sure that 11am would find me curled up in a ball, crying. But that didn't happen. And I didn't even get a headache. Maybe that will come tomorrow. I was up to 4 cups a day, I was expecting more drama.

I had to run to the health food store at lunch and nearly had a meltdown. Lee's Sandwiches on one side and Bob's Giant Burgers on the other. "It's for the greater good", I told myself, which really doesn't make much sense, but it's all my dull brain could come up with on the fly. I went back to work and my brussel sprouts.

At exactly 2:27 pm, I took a deep breath, exhaled, and felt amazingly and totally relaxed. I felt like how I must feel when I'm pretty close to my absolute natural state without being hopped up on caffeine or going up or coming down from a carb/sugar high. It felt pretty blissful. Like after a really good yoga or meditation session. I recreated the feeling a few more times throughout the afternoon, but by the time I got home and and into my yoga clothes I was hungry, crabby, and tired. So much for that! I did a little yoga, made some mustard greens and kale over quinoa topped with chili lemon shrimp, and now I'm blogging and eyeballing the blanket on the couch.

Nighty Night!
