Phase 3

Okay, so I'm not following all the requirements for phase 3 to the letter, not that I have followed every instruction impeccably through out this whole fast. Let me say that the tea for this phase is borderline vile. I can really only talk myself in to taking one cup a day, instead of the prescribed 3. However, the milk thistle seed cap I am taking includes turmeric and dandelion, which are two of the ingredients from the tea. I feel like I am getting my "needs" met elsewhere. Also, I bought some liquid lecithin, because I couldn't find it in a vegetarian capsule. I have never seen lecithin before. The lecithin is thick and oily, it doesn't mix well in liquid, which is the only way I would be able to stomach it. In doing more research, it appears that this can be used to create a non-stick coating for your pans. Anyway, I took the lecithin the first day in my morning psyllium, pectin, green supplement drink. It was difficult to gag down. I haven't tried it again since and I haven't had time to go to Henry's to find a replacement. Oh, well.



In better news, I got some new running shoes. I actually tried them last night on my run. What a difference. I actually felt supported. I love these shoes, New Balance 1223. They are on the endangered list. New Balance is replacing them with the 1224, which reviews say are not as good. I may try to order another pair of 1223s to have on hand when these new ones wear out. My feet are fickle and it is hard to find shoes that work for me.
