Herbal cleanse

So, as with the mohawk, it's time to move a potentially odd idea from thought into action. It's "detox" time! So, I decided to get a herbal cleanse thing. I guess there are some plans that are just diet changes, but I decided to test this. As with the mohawk, I'm planning on 7 days. This is because I don't think I have the willpower to do a longer one, and I think many other people are like this too. Depending on how much of a pain in the butt this is, and how it feels after, maybe I'll do another sometime. This one's supposedly pretty gentle, meaning less deep-cleaning, meaning less feeling-crappy during it, though less benefit overall. Still supposed to feel kindof lethargic and stuff, and maybe needing the bathroom a bunch, for the first few days, and then after that you start feeling much better than before. It'll be hard to tell, cause I already feel the lethargy (esp weekdays... and the 'feeling better' is going to coincide with the weekend... I should have started on a monday maybe, oh well, don't want to postpone it any longer, since I want to exercise again and probably won't feel much like exercise while doing this). I think my mental/emotional state may not be in the best condition for a cleanse, but whatever. I'm somewhat of a skeptic anyways, it's all just an experiment. Albeit an experiment with my health. Though I don't think anything too negative should happen. I highly doubt the conclusion will be anything other than 'inconclusive'.

So, day 0. Overall feeling, a bit nervous. Kindof don't want to start. Am I actually going to gain anything from it? (duh that's the whole point of trying) I'm probably going to feel hungry for the next several days. And hopefully noone invites me for chinese buffet cause I'd have to turn it down. Will have to avoid a lot of other stuff that I really like, will I even be able to do it? Yeah I should. And really, it shouldn't be too bad, this is only for a week. Though lately, a week can feel like a really long time.
