Today started off well, but I have to admit, I am a bit tired of smoothies. So, I decided to go out to lunch. By the time I got to lunch, I decided to give myself a day off. Just experimenting here.
So, I ate normal food today, had some nutritious things (like the salad for lunch, although the dressing had tomatoes and dairy in it I am sure, and corn too), and some not so nutritious things (Three Musketeers candy bar in the afternoon and a pretzel for dinner), plus a soda too.
The verdict…I am exhausted.
Gone is all the energy I have had for the past week, and I feel just downright sluggish.
The good news is that so far my digestive system has not revolted.
But, I’ll be back on track tomorrow. If nothing else, I need the energy back! Plus, I just felt better.
It was all I could do to finish a book I was reading today, and write this post.
Off to bed I go…
Could be just because I have been up late lately. Or, could be the food. I don’t know? Sluggish digestion = sluggish feeling, right?
Right now I am craving a big glass of green juice. Hmmmm….craving nutritious food?
And, another thing I have noticed is that when I do the dishes, the foods that are more natural, raw, and nutritious come right off the dish, even if the dish has sat for some time, unlike the SAD (standard American diet) foods I was eating, that really stick to the dish and are hard to get off? Coincidence? Easier to get off the dishes = easier to get through your digestive system?
Enough babbling….night night…

Interesting idea about foods being sticky. I wonder if that actually translates into the body. Even more interesting is the immediate drop of energy you noticed.
I know…very interesting. I noticed the more raw and natural foods came right off the plates with no scrubbing required, time and time again. It just got me thinking (as I was scrubbing a dish from a casserole that my husband had eaten which was VERY stuck to the plate). It’s as though the food just dissolved in a way.
I was very struck by the lack of energy as well, especially after having so much energy for the past 10 days.
