I forgot to mention that I decided to end my fast today.  Or break it, I should say.  One commenter, who I suspect doesn’t like the idea that I’m doing the cleanse in the first place, suggested that seven days was plenty and I agreed.  So the cleanse is over.  This morning I went to the Y and got in my little workout, which was fantastic as yesterday’s and the day before’s.

After the workout, I went to Whole Foods to wander around and see how I wanted to reacclimate myself to eating.   The literature says you should ease into it, eat just like, vegetable broth or something for another couple days.  Obviously, I think that’s stupid.  I elected to eat granola, cause it has both fiber and fat, things I love and had been missing, with some super pro-biotic yogurt to replace the culture I probably flooded out.  And a banana, cause they’re good for you.

Results?  I still feel fantastic.  I am, as I have been much of this week, unable to sleep.  I mean, that sounds like I’m complaining.  I’m sure I could go to bed and be asleep within a half hour, but I feel pretty good.  So I’ll stay awake.

I also went to the other familial outpost tonight to watch the Office.  It was a rerun.  That was a bummer.  Also a bummer?  The huge amounts of chocolate and cookies always available over there.   Tough for someone only recently eating again.  I ate a cookie and some popcorn and several pieces of chocolate.  And I’m fine.  Easing back into things is absolutely silly.
