So, here I am on day 2 of the USD plan.  Made it through the first day but I've been told the second day is the most difficult.  Forewarned is forearmed so I'm mentally prepared.  Knowing me, however, I'll hit my first wall on maybe day 5 or 6.  Let's hope that I notice enough improvements to keep me motivated.

One thing I realized is that I've been taking perfectly good and wholesome food and preparing it in such as way as to make my system toxic.  Interesting insight, that.

This morning when I woke up I noticed a distinct lack of sinus conjestion.  The weather has changed, becoming more muggy and winds are from the East....that usually brings sinus pain and puffiness below my eyebrows.  No pain this morning and reduced puffiness!  I'm going to reserve judgement, however, until I see if I feel the same or better tomorrow morning.  I felt more tired yesterday, so that's an improvement.

I slept very well (had to get up once around 3:30 to use bathroom), but then I've had to use sleeping pills (which also help my restless leg syndrome).  I'm going to wait for a few more days and then try sleeping without the pill to see if I can stay asleep.  When I can sleep 5 or more straight hours without a sleeping pill then I'll know that this plan will work for me for life.

Been posting on the boards and forgot to add to my blog. After 7 days on USD I lost 7 pounds. Better than that is the way that I feel. I feel so good, so happy, so calm, no headaches, no stuffiness. More energy than I've had in a long time and more stamina. Also, more mental clarity.

I'm looking forward to continuing another 2 weeks on detox by transitioning to the UltraMetabolisim Prescription. I've decided that no food is worth eating if it makes me feel like I used to feel. This is a lifestyle change I can make easily and accept long-term.
