I got up this morning and kicked off my day two of my Arbonne Seasource Detox.  I decided to do a detox to end my lent with a “bang”!  Technically, since February 17^th – Ash Wednesday, I’ve been on a detox.  I cut out sodas, alcohol, chocolate, and mostly all red meat (I’ve had red meat 4 times in the last 5 plus weeks) – to include all meat on Fridays.  In the process, I ended up cutting out sweets, candy, chips (the brown rice chips I love) and added a lot more fruits and vegetables to my diet.

Yesterday, on my first day of the detox – you could say that “it” hit me pretty hard towards late afternoon.   I found myself running to the bathroom and feeling like parts of my insides were not very happy with me.  Frankly, I was shocked it got to me the way it did but Aaron pointed out “You have a pretty sensitive stomach to start out with”.  He made a good point. I do have a sensitive stomach.

Today, I got up and drank my second bottle.  The way it works – the Detox kit is a seven day detox system of seven potent 1oz bottles – one bottle a day mixed with one quart (32 ounce) of liquid.  In my case, I’m mixing it with light apple juice and water.  No way I could swallow it down with water only.  Not exactly the best tasting or smelling stuff…

I drank my entire “potion” before I left the house to go to the gym…I drank most of it while I was meditating, on an empty stomach.  I had to visit the bathroom while I was at the gym but it wasn’t too bad.  After lunch, Aaron and I went to get massages…I was doing just fine.

We left the massage place and headed to the grocery store on the other side of town.  Halfway there my stomach started acting up.  I’ll spare you the intricate details but we’ll just say that I barely made it and it was definitely not something I wanted to do in a public bathroom.

That was around 2:45pm…it’s past 8pm now – stomach is feeling fine.  Staying hydrated and maintaining electrolytes, I’m noticing to be extra important while on this detox.

I don’t know what’s in store for me tomorrow but for tomorrow and the rest of the week – I plan on looking closely at my schedule.  I don’t want to be caught somewhere out of reach of a bathroom.

What are my expectations on Day 7? No clue.  Will I feel “cleansed”?  Will I have more energy?  Will all the cravings be gone?  I’ll tell you on Sunday!
