I have been trying out a cleanse this week. Supposed to clean out one's liver. We shall see if it reduces any of my symptoms that seem to be liver related - low energy, eczema, etc. Basically it is 9 days of mostly fruits and vegetables without any fat. The nice thing about it is that you don't need to feel hungry, but it has made me feel sick. Super tired, a bit brain-foggy and grumpy, but only losing a small amount of weight. That is supposedly normal and some people say it is the liver releasing the toxins that have been causing trouble, while others say it is just symptoms of an unbalanced diet. We shall see how I feel in the weeks to come.
The girls have been kind annoyed with the food situation. We have made normal meals for them, but it means three preps - Naomi has to make her own food for her crazy diet, I have to make mine, and the girls get stuff we are both jealous of. Naomi has about 10 days left, and she is counting them down! After that she can start re-introducing foods to see what works for her and what doesn't.
The fall weather has definitely started. Strangely enough, the tomatoes have recovered in the past month and even have some little ones. Now it is cooling off and rainy though, and we had to start with fires and the heating system this week. Good timing to stay on the couch today and drink nothing but smoothies!
