Detox, Retox

I mentioned last time that I would be talking about my detoxification process...that caffeine devil. Well, I stopped drinking coffee for, oh, 3 days or so. I was surprised that I didn't get a headache or really even want it too desperately. HOWEVER, since I wasn't feeling any real effect, I decided in my flawed-logic-validating-my-actions way that it meant that I could have coffee. Well, I have cut down drastically, and drink so much water it's ridiculous. I feel much better. I urinate like I'm 9 months pregnant, but (pardon the graphic) it's very thrilling to challenge myself to make it colorless. I guess that's the point, right? Color free? So, I shoot for that every day and it's quite amusing. C'mon...you have to do something to make going to the bathroom that frequently a little interesting.

As far as the rest, I did a little bit of the master cleanse, just for a few days, and not a complete fast. I just thought it would be a good idea to kick start my system, flush, etc. And it was nice, though it didn't produce any real effects either, other than a little heartburn from the cayenne...and I NEVER get heartburn. So, overall, I think the best thing has been the increase in water. I just feel cleaner. I am glad my body told me what it needed, and that I was able to respond. I feel sorry for being mean to it. I am sure it forgives me.
