Hadn't seen a change today which isn't surprising - the body doesn't know that it's not going to get the usual caffeine, sugar and chips.  

Then I hit a point where I couldn't hold my eyes open and had to cut my on-line synagogue Rosh Hashanah observances a little short.  I took a short nap (about 30 minutes) with Deacon curled up under the blankets with me.  The nap helped and Lyn (the author) said naps are great, to take it easy for the 3 days of detoxing the body.

Finished a late lunch.  I over steamed the broccoli - boo.  It was edible but not the best.  Neither Jackie nor I are impressed with the carrot ginger soup and need to find a way to doctor it up since this will be a stable in our diets for quite a few days.  Was very glad to have the half of pear.
