WEDNESDAY week 2 :day 3 DAY 10

still struggling along with severe fatigue and last night i was able to get natalia rose's book 'the raw food detox diet'. it has different levels for individuals in order for them to gage where to begin.

i just read something in her book notes in the back about the raw foods and their powerful enzymes. my fatigue may be an indication that my body is still adjusting and that i am going too fast.

possible causes of my fatigue/irritability/depression:

LOW IRON Detoxing too quickly. last week was my period (atop of having the flu with extreme diet change) and perhaps my iron is too low.

============================================================

i had about 3 wraps and i felt 'full'. i was sustained until about 9:30 when i felt peckish and decided to have a glass of water and the hot cocoa

i also drank some smooth move tea before bed due to not 'going' today.
