Getting and Staying Healthy After Fifty

Today is another bad day. Not only did I have brain fog, and wasn’t able to write like I wanted to, but the detox symptoms are getting worse.

I still have the coating on my tongue, and my mouth tastes bad all the time.  I’m tired of the whole lemonade thing, and I have to force myself to do my 6 cups a day.  

My joints hurt, and I have a terrible, burning sensation in my gut.  Plus, I woke up last night with leg cramps, so I know my potassium level is getting low. I’m going to have to take a multi vitamin whether it’s allowed or not. Those cramps hurt!

Right now, my stomach is growling, and I don’t have the energy to go fix another lemonade.  I guess I’ll force myself, but to tell the truth, I’ll be totally happy when this fourteen days is over. 

I still haven’t lost but 5 lbs.,  and I know that I’ll gain that right back as soon as I stop the fasting, so it’s all been for naught as far as I’m concerned. Still, I’ll stick with it for the next few days just to say I did.
