Day 2 (The Mack Truck Arrived)

Hello!

I finally am settled in for the night to come here and report about my day. Woke up feeling really good! Took my vitamins and ate breakfast, started to do housework, then.....BOOM. My head started to hurt and I felt super dizzy. I could not stay away from the bathroom and I know it is due to the cleanse I am doing, along with eating differently. I literally felt like I had been hit by a Mack truck, just like I thought I would. I had high hopes yesterday, though. I was feeling so good that I was sure these first few days were going to be a breeze. Oh well. You gotta start somewhere, and when you are cleaning your body of waste and toxins, that Mack truck will be there everytime! I am so glad I decided to take the week off from exercise.

As the day progressed, I grew very tired and cranky. It was time for a mid-afternoon snack, and I sure needed it. I went for a cup of boiled shrimp. Shrimp is soooo good, full of protein and a great snack. But let me tell ya....a cup of coffee sounded wonderful. But no, no, no. Not giving in. These cravings are going to take a while to get out of my system. I stayed busy around the house to keep my mind off of food......glorious food. Ugh. Had my water in hand and some almonds for cravings.

Day 3 will be interesting. Tomorrow night is our monthly Bunco night, and it is always centered around......you guessed it.....FOOD. Aye aye aye. I will survive. I always enjoy Bunco because it is a fun and crazy dice game played with 12 people. Us ladies get wild and loud and laugh a lot and that is what matters. Well time for bed, but let me share my menu with you that I had today. Good night peeps!
