21 Day Cleanse... no meat, dairy, sugar, gluten... NO CAFFEINE? no life... day 1

Hi,
My name is Rae and this is a joint Blog between Best Friends.  We are always coming up with ideas we want to try, but wont do alone... The other is usually taken along kicking and screaming...  We started this Blog so we had a place to vent our feelings and make fun of each other while we jump on each others crazy trains.
Um.... well....  To be honest, as I sit here trying to decide what to write about who I am am what we are doing, all I can do is think about food and coffee!  Why?  Well apparently I am a food/caffeine addict, who knew?  Well, I did, but that is so besides the point...  Instead of writing my "Hi this is who I am and why we started this joint blog", I am going to have to just get into it... because my brain is mush and I can't concentrate and I am hungry damnit!  I doubt I can write a coherent sentence let alone spell worth a damn... but this isn't about that....
It all started when my very crazy best friend watched this equally crazy woman on Oprah who helped her staff go on this cleanse for 7 days.  They cannot have any meat, sugar, dairy, caffeine or gluten for the cleanse.  She watches as these people have chefs making their meals in a Harpo studios, and they get these great gift bags from Kashi for home use and off they go... 7 days, no big deal...  right?  Now flash forward to "my reality"...  She wants us to DO IT TOGETHER... but not for the 7 days, but the full 21 days as the book describes.  I do NOT have a chef... I am the chef... and I do not know what kashi foods were in those bags, but everything my local store has by kashi, has either sugar, dairy, or wheat in it!  Seriously... I am past the lunch mark, and I am hungry, and finally my coffee withdrawal headache has arrived.   I had oatmeal for breakfast with blueberries, and for lunch rice crackers with Adams natural peanut butter & an avocado.  I have other fruit and some raw nuts, but honestly I am afraid if I keep eating the fruit I will be in the bathroom all night!  And nuts do the same...  These people who decide to live their whole lives like this must have stock in the TP industry... for real!
I am hoping over the next few days I can get some better food choices, but for now I am stuck with what I have.  I live in a podunk town with limited choices.  If I don't get to a whole foods this weekend for some food on the list not to mention a loaf of damn bread that qualifies under this restricted list, I may just eat my hand.  As for exercising, I will go with HELL NO... until this headache is done with me, I will be lucky to just get my daily work done and mother my kiddos... I don't know if meds are OK or not, but at this point, Advil here I come...

I feel as if I should be reciting the Lord's Prayer or some shit... I need strength for sure, because my house is full of everything I cannot have and this sucks.

Until next time,
Rae
