Days 2 & 3

Day 2 was not too bad. I've found that all the water is surprisingly helping me feel full. The water is also sending me to the ladies room quite often. I found myself having to frantically run into a gas station on my way to work on Wednesday, as well as having to excuse myself from a meeting to relieve my bladder.

The water is not the only thing sending me to the ladies room. I think the herbal cleanse is doing it's job. I think my GI issues on a normal day are well known. I had to get off the treadmill twice last night while doing my 45 minute run. To make matters worse, it was one of those small anytime gyms with a one person bathroom. Sorry to my fellow club members.

A definite win for day 2 was that I was able to eat steamed broccoli and carrots without making faces!

Day 3 has been fine so far. I was a little hungrier than I have been the past 2 days. However, I did make good choices for my food (thanks for the continued motivational emails Denise!). I ate broccoli and carrots again tonight, except I did make a few faces this time. I really want Mellow Mushroom pretzels with marinara and pesto. Oh, well. I think I want my flat abs back a little more...maybe.

I had a meeting over lunch today so they ordered lunch in. I panicked a little because I wasn't sure what that would mean I would eat. I found turkey chili on the menu which I didn't think could be that bad. I didn't even eat my saltines that came with the chili. I gave them to Kara. They ordered cookies for us, so I had to look at them during the meeting. After the meeting, I actually smelled the empty cookie bag and it smelled so good! Just smells, no tastes.

I'm going to the gym to do my 1:30 run tonight which I'm not to excited about; however, I'm going during Grey's Anatomy so I'll have something to watch at least. I'm also excited about be able to have a Lara bar since I'm doing more than an hour workout!!! The simple things!

If you read this before 9:00, please say a prayer that the herbal cleanse will hold its magic until after I get off the treadmill :)
