Day 2

The caffeine headache has persisted into Day 2. It's really the only side effect I'm having. I'm not hungry. I don't crave anything. I just have this nagging headache and I'm fighting off the urge to make it go away with some Excedrin - which is loaded with caffeine and would do the trick nicely.

Chuck and I had planned on spending a quality day together in honor of his birthday, which is actually Saturday. I was irritable and in - I'll say discomfort - because it's not quite pain. We planned on hiking up to Bake Oven Knob in PA - where he and my dad had just hiked a few weeks ago. I didn't know how I would feel out there with this headache, but amazingly - as we stepped out into the fresh air, my headache just kind of subsided. The hike wasn't too intense and the view from the top was amazing. We lounged around on the rocks in the cool breeze and I was glad to be there - not thinking about my headache.

So this is the end of Day 2. I'm just hoping that tomorrow I'll be over my caffeine detox. Oh - the tempeh "tuna" salad which I saw on the Ellen show while they were talking about the Cleanse was just as good as it looked - and not that hard to make.
