DAY 13-15: Emotional Rollercoaster

Today is the beginning of Week 3 protocol. Nothing will change the first 3-4 days. However, the last 3 or 4 days of the week is a juice fast. There is a choice of fasting for 3 or 4 days. I haven't decided which I am going to do yet. I guess it depends on how I feel.

It has been quite emotional for me lately. In Week 2, the protocol requires you to drink oxykare, which is Karyn's food-grade form of hydrogen peroxide. NOT THE KIND YOU USE TO CLEAN SORES. By drinking this, it oxygenates your body. Karyn warns that this will cause a release of emotions and that we should let them flow and not stop them. Ha! Well, I don't feel like I've been letting it flow. I just can't bring myself to act crazy when I'm feeling crazy (and oh boi, do I feel crazy. lol). I always have to think things over. However, I have had a plethora of emotions. Happiness, sadness, loneliness, anger, blah (whatever that means), etc. Needless to say, I am not too thrilled about drinking this because I am already an emotional person and this makes me even more emotional.

On an interesting note, I have had a triple increase in libido. My libido was quite high before but NOW!! OMG! I'm feeling very animalistic these days! HAHA! Karyn did mention that cleansing would raise the libido and it definitely has in my case. I need to be in a cold shower 24/7.

I've been out a few times at restaurants where I've only had the choice of a salad. Boring!!! But it helps when I have to eat with "normal" eating people. Helps me socialize and not desire the "normal" food. Unfortunately, food and drinks are big part of socializing. A way to bond with others. When I am ordering at a restaurant,  I feel like I've become somewhat of a hippie. (I like hippies by the way. Cool people.) My ordering goes a bit like this..."I would like to have your "blah blah" salad minus the meat and cheese. Add avocado and red onions. Are those walnuts roasted or raw? (Server says, "I have to check." Of course, she wouldn't know. Who asks that type of question? I DO!) Well, if they are roasted, I don't want them but if they are raw I want them. LOL. What a pain!? This reminds me of one of my best friends, Katie. She always requested that her vegetarian sandwich not be cooked in the same skillet with the meat products. We have become kindred spirits, Katie.

Right now, I'm craving sugar. I thought the cravings of sweets would go away but they are still there. I just don't crave them as often and I am quickly satisfied when I do have something sweet. Below is a picture of what I wish I could have right now. It's a vegan raspberry cheesecake I had on the first week of the cleanse. I don't think I can have it now because the crust maybe cooked. Pero, yo no se.
