Wanna be a zombie? Do a detox!

I've done no writing this week whatsoever and, although I feel guilty about that, there is valid reason why not. I had a pretty rough week after suddenly deciding to go on a raw food detox diet. I'm not sure exactly why I decided to do it there and then but I did and holy cow, did I have no idea what I'd let myself in for.
Having never been through detox before, I had no clue that it could cause such pain! Day one was okay, apart from a mild headache, but then day two (and the rest of the week) I had the most awful pains in my legs and lower back. The pain was so severe in fact, that it prevented me from sleeping. I just couldn't lie down for more than 20 minutes at a time. So most of my nights last week were spent walking around the living room. And because of my lack of sleep, I couldn't concentrate either. I was like a zombie... I kid you not.
Most people would take painkillers but I was on detox... the whole point of which is to rid the body of toxins so I wasn't about to put even more back in! So I suffered and endured the pain. Thankfully, I started feeling better on Sunday and I'm almost back to normal now. Sleeping feels like such a luxury!
