I’m a coffee whore and I’m not embarrassed to admit it. I love coffee. I take it black; there’s no need to add anything to something that is already so perfect. If I find a coffee shop that makes a wicked Americano, I feel like I’ve discovered a hidden treasure and I get giddy with the thought of the booty that is now available to me.
Each night, as I fall asleep, I think of my morning coffee and I smile. Some days, if it weren’t for the promise of a hot cup of Joe, I would have stayed in bed.
This past Monday, I wasn’t able to enjoy in my normal cup of coffee. Instead, I embarked on my first day of a 21 day detox. The detox is pretty simple; no coffee, no alcohol, no fruit, no wheat, no red meat, no processed foods, no sugar and basically no FUN.
Today is day 7 of the detox and, overall, I’m finding the absence of coffee in my day-to-day one of the hardest parts. I want coffee. I wanted it on Monday, a little more on Tuesday and today, I would sell my soul for an Americano. Each day I’ve had headaches and, much to my dismay, they’re lasting longer and becoming more intense with each passing day. Another challenge has been a lack of energy. This week I had hoped to double-down and do two workouts a day. Ya, that didn’t happen, I’ve struggled through my daily workout and wouldn’t have been able to add another.
You may be wondering, “Why are you doing this?!” On day 7, I asking myself the same thing…I clean liver is great in all, but so is being headache-free and having energy! Other than cleansing, I was hoping to drop weight in my continued struggle to make it to the Welter weight division. Ya, 7 days in and I weigh the same as I did on day 1.
Right now, I’m thinking that my 21 day detox is going to be reduced to a 7 days and tomorrow morning I’ll be reunited with my friend Joe.
The Gruesome Twosome

Don’t give up. feeling like shit from detox is a sign of how badly you needed it and that your body is unloading a lot of crap. Can take up to ten days. Also my little coffee addict you are suffering from withdrawal make sure you are hydrating. If you can find some clean wheatgrass that is a great addition to your detox and very energizing. Google wheatgrass frozen family business near stouferville I think.
In a somewhat related segue my top guy from mms st. Pierre is a dedicated vegetarian and more of those guys are switching everyday. They find they have more energy and better endurance.
Try the scary green shit it is yummy and you will feel great and it cleans all the sludge in your body everyday and has 106 vitamins and minerals. If you aren’t eating much you can also take potassium and vitamin to keep you feeling good. K, that is all I got for now don’t give up yet at some point you should start feeling good maybe even great.
Keep up the great work:)))))
you inspire me.
Sarah, your words inspired me to carry on and I’ve made it through another day! Tomorrow I will hunt down the scary green shit 😉
