Detox Day 7- The abrupt end (blame Salome)

'Tminx, Tminx!' Someone was pushing me awake. 'Get up!'. It was Salome, she looked very disgruntled. 'Look I have been taking this rubbish detox for too long! I am hungry,' she said, anger flashing in her eyes. I rolled over. Damn her, I was really enjoying the dream I was having. I was swimming in a pool full of Fajitas and Orange juice. Pancakes were flying in the air and the birds were smoothies and butterflies where peeing maple syrup. If I didn't know better I would have thought I was in heaven.

I forced myself up from the bed like I had been pre-programmed to do for the past six days and started to prepare my Salt water for the flush.

'Don't let me slap you oh!' It was Salome again. Pour that thing away. I ignored her as I chugged the water down. Maybe she was right. The morning before, I was feeling great, like I could do the detox forever but later that day, my spirits came crashing down. I lost all the energy I had and had no desire to drink anymore lemonande. I gagged a little on the salt water but finished it off and went back to bed.

'Look, you are only to stay on the detox as long as your body feels good. I'm telling you, it doesn't feel good right about now. Besides your tongue is pink and do you still feel the pain in your side this morning?'

I shook my head in response realising it felt suprisingly free of pain but who knows. I have been free of pain once or twice before and it came back.

'The recommended minimum is ten days.' I said as the Salt water took effect. 'Sharrap my friend!', 'You won't have any energy today talk of Sunday. Ten days my foot.'

So people of blogworld. I am drinking orange juice today as recommended by the book when breaking the detox fast and have taken Probiotics to reestablish my gut flora. I was quite weak last night. I don't know if its because I reduced the sugar in my lemonade or not but the energy I had in the morning came cascading down. Luckily I had gone shopping with my colleague the night before and bought stuff to break the detox on sunday and a juicer too!

Orange juice feels so good! Who knew.
