Day Two

I knew this was going to be difficult, but oh man! I was about 3 seconds away from just giving up yesterday... I did great all the way through work (was barely even hungry) but then I got home and there is just so much delicious food around the house and SO many good looking foods on TV!  I banished myself to a long epsom salt bath where food couldn't taunt me, then about 9:00 the headache started.  It was relentless!  Probably mostly a caffeine withdraw headache combined with the releasing of the toxins but oh my!  I gave myself a tiny tiny bowl of cottage cheese and it seemed to help a bit, then I went to bed.  Still woke up with a headache but thank God I didn't have to work until the afternoon so I had plenty of time to sleep it off... only way to describe it is like the worst hangover ever.  But then I realized, hey, I'm not hungry and it's lunchtime... maybe this thing is working after all!

With a new lease on cleansing I set out for the health food store and bought some more organic maple syrup (my awesome Canadian souvenir bottle was only enough for one day!) and some tea to give myself a bit of variety tonight.  I've decided to try and do 4 days so I can still have Sunday lunch with my mom and BOTH grandmas on Mother's Day.... I can only imagine the lecture I would get for not eating Mother's Day lunch at Franke's! I can do this.  I can do this!!
