I slid off of the detox today. Last night was awful. Sebastian is teething again - getting back molars so I was up a pretty good bit last night. The one thing about the detox is that you need plenty of rest and limited stress - between that and a fire at work today I went off the deep end. OJ most of the day, organic vegetable soup tonight - and hopefully I can maintain a reasonable dieting strategy (whatever that is) moving forward.

Lessons Learned:

• Make sure you drink as much “tea” as you can force down during the detox. This is something that I wasn’t aggressive with this time.
• Know that you are going to have time that is relatively stress free in which you can relax.
• Have OJ in the house in case you decide to come off the detox suddenly. You don’t want to just eat because you can put your stomach in a twist. Since I was in the middle of something the better part of the day I couldn’t get to any OJ and my body was feeling it. Once I did get it, it was some time before I felt stable again.
• Amy’s Vegetable Soup is really, really good (and really, really expensive).
