Quantum Cleanse Day 5 and 6

I think I am over the hump of my lifelong sugar addiction. I have had lower back and leg pain since we started this cleanse but it went away last night while at work. It was a bad ache that kept me up at night. I figure it is kind of like a junkie kicking smack.

I worked my first rotation on the cleanse also. I brought in my food with a list my wife made planning out my meals for 48 hours. Since I was on the medic, it is often difficult to sit down to a meal. The wife made a great vegetable soup and we got some vegan, gluten free packaged meals for lunches and a breakfast. I packed some snacks to get me through the day. It was different because I am used to grabbing handfuls of red licorice or granola bars throughout the day and especially in the middle of the night. Oh sweet Red Vines, so damn good. You too granola bars.

My new partner on the medic is not who I would like to work with. He is not confident in his fire or EMS skills, drives like crap, and is just not a good fit with me. Our personalities don't mesh and I don't think he should be in the fire service.

I did wake up with a lot of energy today but I quickly hit a wall around 10:00am or so. I had a call at about 03:00 this morning so I was a little tired as the day wore on. I do think the cleanse has something to do with my energy level in the morning minus coffee. I am also just feeling better in general.
