not much to say, actually. it's weird, because overall this doesn't seem to be very intense, except for the not-eating-willpower thingy. which is definitely tricky for me. oh, yeah. that, and the stomach tension. the daily saunas at Sacred Space have been doing wonders for the tension aspect of the cleanse. there's lots of lovely popping and gurging once i'm able to to totally release that abdominal musculature -- something it seems i'm not particularly used to releasing :) gotta say though ... i want chinese food. really. particularly the garlic fried rice that they make at the take-out place a couple blocks away. or maybe a vindaloo sauce with rice. or a fresh egg ramen soup with pork broth. i'll stop torturing myself now, yeah, i think i'll do that. Mick told me today to listen to my body -- true wisdom -- but my body seems to be saying a lot of different things all at once, so. Vajra suggested an herbal colonic, and i may very well do that, along with some Lactobacillus Acidophilus to keep all my precious inner bacteria in harmony. so many people with good suggestions!
