Today was a little tougher. Definitely tougher than any other day. Today was the first day I think I was hungry. I’ve been splitting my daily lemonade into two nalgene bottles (no reason other than convenience) and by 11 am I’d had my entire first bottle. AND my stomach was growling during meetings all day. And after work I thought about food a lot. I live in a city, so I pass by take outs on every corner. Burger, pizza, Mediterranean, Italian, more pizza, pizza, pizza. Today was the first day I actually contemplated just eating. What’s the big deal? I thought. I kind of had to talk myself down. Not great.
So then I got home and tried to just stay busy. And that worked. I talked to a friend for awhile, cleaned a little, went online, etc. But then I got bored of even that. So I decided to work out. I walked fast on the treadmill with some 3lb weights in each hand. I did that for 30 mins. I felt great! Working out totally erased all the negative feelings I’ve had all day. And I didn’t feel weak at all. Granted, I probably wasn’t really exerting myself, but from other accounts I’ve read, they say you shouldn’t work out at all. Well, I was fine. I wasn’t dizzy or light-headed. I felt normal. So I probably burned about 30 calories walking fast, but whatever. At least I got my heart pumping for a bit.
Tomorrow is going to be my really tough day. My friend’s birthday party. I’m definitely going to be drinking alcohol. I kind of don’t want to right now bc I’m so strong and healthy but social protocol insists. All I’m aiming for is to not gorge and undo the past 6 days of cleansing.
So since today was kind of a bad day, I think I’m sticking with the 10 days. BUT…if the next few days go well who knows! Oh, and btw I weighed myself today and I’m at 164.4. Yay! That’s almost 8 lbs. But that’s really all water weight. I’m going to have to be really careful after the cleanse so I don’t balloon up again.
