Drink by Numbers

So it just dawned on me that most of you have no idea what I'm talking about....

Starting tomorrow, I will be doing a body "cleanse" (aka DETOX) to "ride my body of impurities, regain an alkaline balance and normalize digestion and metabolism."

The site is pretty detailed. Here's the condensed version:

Each day I get 1 bag of "food."

Food = 6 drinks which are numbered and need to be drunken in order. It is recommended that each drink be spaced 1 hour apart with the last "meal" to be had at least 2 hours before bedtime.

I can have unlimited water and herbal tea. Unlimited. Yay.

Repeat for 3 days.


I foresee many, many trips to the bathroom and I'm a little worried about some major meetings I have this week. I don't even drink the daily recommended 6-8 glasses of water. Most days its 1 glass of water spaced out over 12 hours + 1 or 2 cups of coffee.


When I first decided to commit to this I was pretty confident. 3 days? psssht. I've been fasting alcohol for almost 5 weeks now. bring it! Now its the eve of the beginning of detox and I'm sitting here debating if I should squeeze in one last ramen before midnight.....


I've also supposed to have been easing into this fast (see first post).
That hasn't been faring so well. A sampling of some fried goodness from the past weekend:

I threw in the pomegranate pinkberry as a buffer between the wings to make me feel better.

If I seem a little cranky or off tomorrow it's probably because I am. Please understand.
