Day 2

Ready to do this again!

7:00-- Probiotic.  Only one ounce of water this time with a little lemon juice.  Slightly better but still fighting a gag reflex.  Oh well.  At least I was ready with water and my tea to wash it down.

7:30-- Shake with LOTS of crushed ice.  Helped with the texture a lot!  I took it downstairs to drink while I played with the baby and preschooler.  It's nice to not have to figure out what to do with them while I eat.  I was hoping that the shakes would make meals simpler, since trying to feed everybody is really stressful.

9:30-- Just now hungry.  Fit chew and almonds.  Satisfied

12:00:  Started drinking a little early because I was hungry and I've been drinking the shakes with ice more slowly.  Made a shake to go to park with friends.  I love how easy it is.   Added pumpkin, spices, lemon juice and crushed ice.  Best yet.  Satisfied!

2:30-- Hungry.  Fit chew and almonds.  Great!

I have so much energy!  The sluggishness is gone and I didn't need to nap yesterday or today.  Looking back, I realize that, despite my hunger, my energy was WAY up yesterday from normal!  I didn't feel irritable, and I haven't lost my temper with my kids in two days. Yay!!!!!

5:00- Ate early because I have religious ed. tonight.  Turkey meatballs, spaghetti squash and spinach with homemade pesto.  So good!  Feeling full.

8:30-- Detox tea and a little more spaghetti squash.  Wanted to eat now rather than at 10:30.

Not hungry at all.  I cannot believe I am doing this.  I feel like I have entered the twilight zone, and it's unsettling.  I don't like when things change, but I know my brain just needs to adjust.  I'm also getting antsy about the physical changes.  I'm still feeling bloated, and I want this fat to go away.  I know it's only been two days, but I am a VERY impatient person.  I have to keep reminding myself about the change in energy.  That has had a huge impact on my mood and my overall happiness throughout the day.
