Days 11, 12 & 13 of Raw..um..Hell

 So day 11 passed in a blur...I can't remember it to be honest.

Day 12 I drank 48 ounces of green smoothie...stretched out over the day.  Had a few bites of this and that, but was crazy busy at work all day plus holding my little shoulder monkey Aashi.  Just does not leave a lot of time to think of food.
About 3pm I started feeling really groggy, like my head was in a fog, and super tired.  About a hour later, I took everyone home and once there I started having chills, and body aches.
I guessed that I was starting to detox.  I managed to get dinner on the table for the kids, set them down in front of it and told Eddie that I had to lay down with the baby.
Before long I was curled up on the bed rocking back and forth, with full blown flu like hard core chills, body aches, headache...and then BAM.  My tummy started burning, like when I am having a gallbladder flare up.

I managed to hang like that for over an hour before I at lasted called mom for backup.

By this point Tamra was crying because she was worried about me, and Eddie has made me my Peppermint Water, and brought me a bowl in case I needed to puke.

Mom arrived about an hour later, and helped everyone brush teeth and get into bed. 

All night long I was shivering and shaky, dizzy if I tried to get up.  Aashi needed Grandma to rock him but then settled down for a good night of cuddling mommy and nursing nursing nursing!!

This morning I am still achy and have a headache, but the other symptoms have decreased.

So today, day 13, I have researched detoxing while on raw food and have come to find out that what I am going through is very normal.  Yay me. 

Just holding on the fact that this is a good thing for me to be doing.  That my body will feel clean and "run" so much better once I make it through the ick.

Having my first food of the day-green smoothie, at 11am.

Wish me luck.
