Day 2-Monday, March 23, 2009

reading a cookbook [before bed] for pleasure probably isn't a wise idea during this cleanse, but i did it anyway. "mmm, i'm gonna make that when i can eat again!" i'm just sayin'.

okay, i kind of got a late start this morning. i was in bed by 9:30 and probably asleep by 10:00. i set my timer and called it a night. i had a slight headache but figured a good night sleep would cure that. at 6:00 my alarm went off and of course i snoozed because another alarm would go off at 6:15. or so i thought. i still had that one set for "weekend" so i ended up waking up at 7:00. too scared to drink my tea, i decided that i would just drink it once i got to the office. so, i pack up my things, including my "cleanse safety kit" (wipes, lysol, and matches...*don't judge*) and head for the door. or, so i thought. my stomach and other organs were on a different mission. i made a quick dash for the bathroom and the rest is below. enjoy...

7:15 am: i weighed myself when i got out the shower and the scale read 204, woo-hoo! now, i don't think i eliminated three pounds yesterday but who knows.

7:50 am: elimination #1
smooth move wasted no time this morning. at all. this one was quick and painless.

9:00 am: more smooth move tea (i'm going to do the swf every other day)

9:15 am: drank the equivalent to two glasses of lemonade sans the cayenne. i'm going to use that at night. (making all kinds of changes, huh?)

10:35 am: i think i feel #2 coming on-FALSE ALARM!

11:30 am: me and tina walked to publix. i went for more lemons and water to keep here at the office and she got some meals. i'm so hatin' right now. *sigh* i was walking do each aisle looking and craving stuff i don't even eat.

12:09 pm: just talked to meredith; we're both starving. she wants a salad and i would kill for some saltines!

2:45 pm: elimination #2
with emergency kit in hand, i made a mad dash to the bano! woo-hoo! (how am i still going if i haven't eaten anything? things that make you go hmmm)

3:10 pm: me and tina walked again. getting out of the office is nice.

6:30ish: i just got in from class. talk about a text. first beth walks in with dove chocolate and gummy bears for everyone, then terrell walks in with not one but two boxes of krispy kreme doughnuts. *singing* how could they be so heartless? anyway, i didn't partake in any of the goodies. so proud! however, now i'm starving. lemonade it is. i guess i'll get my clothes ready for work and try and do some school work that i've been slacking on! ugh. 45 days 'til graduation!

6:51 pm: elimination #3
let's just say that i'm thankful to have been home. lord, help me! hmm, my stomach is making some noises i've never heard before.

OMG, i want to chew something. all i want is a saltine. is that too much to ask? ugh.

i used the last of the lemons i had here to make about sixty-four ounces of lemonade. that should last me through the night and breakfast. i also made my tea. i'm drinking that now. aside from the headache i have, all is well. the book said that headaches would occur. it completely has to be cleanse-related because i usually have headaches on the right side but my left side is piercing! so yeah, i'm just going to drink this tea and go to bed. hopefully the headache will be gone with the next elimination. we'll see.

to be continued...
