I woke this morning after 10 hours sleep, feeling much better than when I went to sleep the night before. I had a slight headache, which was quickly resolved after a few glasses of water and some senna tea. I noticed a slight muscle ache in my calves, but I put that down to the amount of walking I did yesterday at the Show. Prepared the day’s mixture, and set about trying to distract myself with whatever I could.

I was quite surprised that the hunger pangs didn’t start until mid-afternoon. But they got progressively worse, so I ventured to a reliable supermarket and bought some fresh juice (orange/carrot/ginger) to try and alleviate the feeling.

Some friends had organised a games night, which I was really looking forward to, but my energy levels had dropped considerably throughout the day. Nevertheless, I managed to get myself there and was OK for a while. They had put out some food, which wasn’t a huge temptation to see, but once I got a whiff of the rice crackers (one of my favourite snacks!), I started to feel really uncomfortable. I tried to distract myself by playing games, but the few who were playing had to limit our excitement because the others were recording a podcast. All in all, it wasn’t that successful. My insides felt like they wanted to be outsides, and I needed to rest.

I’d definitely been expending more energy than I had reserves for, so when the opportunity arose, I brought myself home feeling somewhat despondent. By this stage, I was on the verge of breaking the detox and having something to eat. I knew had some veg in the fridge I could steam if I felt the urge, but by the time I got home, a cup of organic peppermint tea seemed to placate me enough.

I reasoned with myself that, if I felt the need, I would have something to eat for either lunch or dinner the next day. So with this on my mind, I went to bed.
