Wow, today has not been easy. I woke up feeling great and I felt fine throughout the day but the cravings for food were literally controlling my every thought. I tried to watch a movie but eventually there was a reference to food and my mind would wander to the land of San Francisco Sourdough and a yummy turkey sandwich. I tried to read but its like I couldn't even focus on the words, my mind just drifted. The boys ate pizza last night...I had to go to bed early. My boyfriend ordered Quiznos this afternoon and I about lost it. The juices are still really good but its nothing in comparison to the aroma in the kitchen. I had a bit of a headache today, a little bit light headed and not much energy to really do anything. I ended up making a vegetable broth which was my saving grace. I added some salt which I know wasn't a very good idea but it kept me from taking a bite of left over sandwich and afterwards I felt SO much better. If a little sodium keeps me on track then I will take it! The warmth of it was comforting too. I didn't take the time to consider the fact that there would be SO much delicious temptation all around me. That has been the worst part. Watching everybody enjoy the things I love so much!!!
I have noticed two swollen lymph nodes, well at least that's what I hope they are. One on each side of my jaw just below the ear...I'm figuring they are swelling due to my body cleansing...The one on the right side is a little painful but its right where my jaw is moving and I have a mild form of TMJ so that probably doesn't help it any. I'm going to keep an eye on it and I am already scheduled for a physical on the 28th so hopefully they will be gone by then.
I'm probably not going to consume anymore juice tonight, the broth was enough to carry me through **thank goodness!** So I will be on to day 4 and I'm crossing my fingers that it will be easier than today!!

Hi Tiffany,
you are doing great! Keep it up, Girl!
As for the swollen lymph glands, it seems most likely a clearing of 'old debris' in that area. Your body is cleansing itself and 'old aches and pains, or injuries or dis-eases' attend to re-surface to be released from your body (most of the time, once and for all). So, it MAY be a good thing.
Pay attention to your body, most definitely, yet don't get 'caught' up in the resurfacing of 'stuff' too much.
Keep on keeping on, Tiffany!
Peace,
Beth
