Detox

I will begin a Detox Diet tomorrow.

I am following a plan given to me by my pal Rachel, and slightly modified by some of my own research.

I will try very hard to document the effects of the detox.

To start, why am I doing this? Why am I so drawn to this cleanse right now?

I feel sluggish, and heavy in the middle. I don't feel like my body has been getting what it needs from the food I eat and the movement I do. I feel more tired and lethargic than I am used to feeling. I think that, after 31 years and two months of build up, it's time to flush some toxins from my system. It's been hard to motivate myself to do much of anything outside of television and work. I don't have my old drive to get frisky. I've been spending too much time sitting on the couch just enjoying sweet treats and salty snacks. I've been smoking too much. I've been drinking too much. It feels like the past ten years of having too much fun are catching up with me.

Let's do it.
