the body is cleansing...

a.k.a. i'm in detox mode...but aren't we always! really, the body is constantly trying to rid itself of toxins and sometimes when we give it the right environment (fresh, raw food/rest, etc.) our bodies can go to work detoxifying even faster...hence "detox".

i woke up on saturday with a scratching throat, but still felt pretty good. by saturday afternoon i was feeling tired....sunday was rough...throat was hurting, ears were hurting and feeling clogged, mental fog, headache...exhausted. i slept most of the day....i might have been up for 5 hours total. yesterday was better, but i still had a lot of mental fog and needed to take a 2 hour nap.

today i'm doing better...the mental fog has lifted. my throat is feeling perfect and my ears are feeling better. i'm just so glad i'm on vacation and am able to kick back and relax. i really think my body waited for this time for "sickness"...i wouldn't have been able to handle it very well if i had to go to class.

i never got frustrated while feeling down as i knew that once i got over this "hump" i would come out the other side feeling even better. i trust in the process and i know that i am doing the right thing fueling my body with raw foods. i'm excited to come out of this detoxification phase refreshed and renewed.

i felt great before, i can't imagine how i'll feel now....
