DAY 2!!!

DAY 2

 

 

It's 7pm and I can almost....mostly...say I made it through Day 2!

Yay me!

 

I had a hard time falling asleep last night...woke up earlier than usual with my pup and then couldn't really fall back asleep. So I was tired today but I got through the day without even taking a nap!

 

So I'm not going to lie...I woke up this morning not all that excited about my day of "only fluids" but I just kept thinking..tomorrow I can have a meal! Tomorrow I can wake up and have a yummy chocolate shake for breakfast!  I also sooooo wanted a cup of coffee!  Which by the way after talking with D about my coffee w cream addiction, when I can start enjoying the yummy caffeine in the a.m's again I will be making the switch to coffee with almond milk cream. Hmmm...we shall see how yummy that is ;)

 

Speaking of  D, we had a great session today and let me just say...it was TOUGH!

Always a good tough of course, but D had to push me a bit more today than usual I think. 

By the end of the workout I felt a bit dizzy and light headed, but I made it home for cleanse drink round 2.

 

I thought I was going to come home and crash, but I did quite the opposite. I had my weekly therapy session, had a great phone call with Aunt January and worked on my kitchen cabinets. 

I actually felt pretty good this afternoon! I felt in control of things and even turned up the music and danced a bit while painting!  As hard as the last 2 days have been, doing this cleanse is giving me control of my health in a way I never really had. It's mind over matter and I'm choosing to fight the temptations and take back the control of the urges to eat, or more splurge.

 

As I sat down this evening while Dan cooked dinner and what will be my delish 4-600 calorie lunch tomorrow I started  thinking about the next now 7 days and how much work it will be..how much thought it will take and energy it will be to fight the temptations.  BUT, I'm pushing those thoughts aside, I just have to or I won't make it! Like anything else...it's one day at a time.

It's strength of mind, body, and soul, and I'm going to find it in me to finish this cleanse!

I'm going to finally follow through with a commitment and succeed!

 

I'm much more hungry tonight than I was last night and I've had a bit of headache for a few hours now. I'm feeling good energy wise, but like last night I'll be heading to bed early!

Staying busy is key I think as well as planning ahead.  I'm focusing on tomorrow now and looking forward to breakfast!  Yay!

 

Today I had the thought, man with all of the other emotional struggles I have going on, why or how am I going to get through this. I don't have an answer except I just am. Simple as that and that feels good! That gives me strength and the power to just keep moving forward!

That and the encouragment from D and my wonderful friends and family!

 

Again I say sweet dreams to you and wish you a restful nights sleep free from the stress and worry that may be consuming you!

 

'night!
