Day 2

This morning I had to get up early cuz I was too tired the night before to make my 'meals' for the day. Had my hot cup of lemon water (I think that's my FAVORITE part of this whole deal so far). Before leaving for the day, I had to bake two large carrots and two sweet potatoes cut into small wedges with olive oil, cumin powder, sea salt and black pepper. Baked at 425 for half an hour.... Ooooooh were they delicious!!! I've been snacking on them all throughout the day. You'd be surprised at how much those four items can make!

I had leftover juice from yesterday so dumped that back into the vitamix. Cleaned the bottles out with water and dumped that in. Added a bunch of kale, a cucumber, celery and sprinkled in cinnamon and pumpkin spices. MUCH better than yesterday. Did I follow the menu / recipe verbatim?  No. That's what I get for not being prepared! And actually I was kind of cursing my friend (in a friendly way, of course!) under my breath, 'What have I gotten myself into?!'  But, I WAS proud I had made myself two small tossed salads (with no cheeses, meats or any of that GOOD, FATTENING, Make you SICK kind of Stuff in them!), the taters n carrots and three bottles of green drinks to go. I was set for the day!

Drank one of the juices on the way out. Snacked on the carrots and taters when the urge to eat hit me. Started the second juice sipping here and there. Ate the salad with minimal dressing (but it was good, so... I'll give it kudos for flavor (love avacados!!)) for a late lunch and here this evening I've been working on my third drink while snacking on more of the carrots n taters.

While I'm proud for actually doing this two whole days in a row (OMG, that's sooooooo long, right?!), I've been constantly fighting the urge to sneak into the cabinets to find some REAL food - like yummy, delicious comfort foods such as cheetos or peanuts or chocolate or....  LOL, nah, I can't risk having my friend one-up me so I'm going to let HER cheat first (I think!)!!

Side-effects so far: I'm tired. I have a headache. I'm hungry. Most of this I knew going into the program tho. It did explain as we detoxify, there may be some unpleasant side-effects which I can see. When being used to eating certain foods, etc., where the body has learned to crave them (we don't even realize it half the time - we simply dive in and mindlessly eat!). So, I'm probably like a food junkie addict and going thru my withdrawals big time. But, it's all good. I'm NOT about to throw away $105 bucks in good food, so, I guess I'll be blogging for at least another day as i used this stuff up and see what happens.
