If I may make an entirely unsolicited recommendation, I think you'd be better off just cutting back on sugar and whatever else you may feel you eat to excess, and upping the vegetables and other produce. You ought to be able to eat fairly normally and hopefully it won't affect your energy levels so drastically. I am a firm believe in eating a wide variety of good foods, and not too much of any one thing.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-44800900169743117542015-05-04T14:02:32.202-07:002015-05-04T14:02:32.202-07:00You live in L.A.

I have a bachelor's degree in geography and it's my husband's favorite thing to tease me about when I get us lost, sometimes even with a map in my hand. I lose my car in parking lots all the time though. It's little and hides behind all the giant cars. I imagine this will only get worse.<br /><br />Half my friends are on the Clean 30 cleanse diet, and I looked at it and just can't get past the no coffee or wine. Plus I love bread and dairy.... Excuses, I know. I need to try something though, just so I can say I tried... I'm seeing old relatives in the mirror, and I'm not ready to be them yet. <br /><br />Good luck with the diet and with not getting lost :) Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10114884092474969555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-9471822658278891052015-05-04T12:57:29.602-07:002015-05-04T12:57:29.602-07:00Lost.

Good for you, Elizabeth. Ride out the weepiness and irritation. It won't last. I'm off of sugar--again--and that also means no processed flour. I go around being a sulky 16-year-old for a day or two and then I feel better, my arthritis doesn't bother me as much, and I sleep better. It's the simple things.

I gave to UNICEF and Red Cross to help address my sense of helplessness (yes, Virginia, it IS all about me) and I cringe at the police crimes in Baltimore but then remember all the good people I know who are police officers. The good ones. <br /><br />So...am I lost or exploring? Both, always recognizing and transforming the confusion of being lost into the adventure of exploring. How else can I cope?Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052375488090209961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-24530150425991518642015-05-04T05:13:50.949-07:002015-05-04T05:13:50.949-07:00I am right there with you.

I ask sincerely). I started this morning and I'm so there with you on all fronts. I do have a good sense of direction and used to work as a map maker but when it comes to my body I too am lost. I really like your explorer analogy. Thank you for that. It beats berating, which never helped anyway.

I made a donation to the Red Cross from the comfort of my home and tried not to think about babies trapped in rubble but I was not successful. I have a very good imagination which I appreciate but which also makes life very difficult at times. <br /><br />As for cutting out diary, gluten and sugar, my god woman! What's left:) I've gained thirty pounds in the past few years and it's difficult to adapt to my new body, although on the upside, I have breasts now.

You are brave to try to clear the toxins from your body. After feeling like shit, you will likely feel much better. I haven't gotten there yet. It's not fair that we can't eat all the shit we want and feel great and not gain an ounce. Life is hard enough as it is. And I suck at directions and get lost all the time too. My GPS saves me.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08015888228309968515noreply@blogger.com
