DAY 2 (Another day, another challenge)

So... Today was I substituted the sea salt, ocean water, drink in the morning for the herbal laxative tea, which the book says you can do, it just doesn't have the same effect. With the salt water I felt it coursing through my body and then coming out. Aside from that change in the regimen I backslide a little. I forgot when I started this cleanse that we were having the walk-thru for our event today, meaning we had food to taste. I had five noodles, a tiny bite of chicken and half of a scallop. I am finding that the problem with doing a cleansing fast is, real life. If I was sitting in a cabin somewhere in the mountains not eating, meditating then I could see it working, there are so many temptations and smells it is so hard to remain mentally focused on the cleanse.

I told you before I am a fatty. Not meaning that I am fat, but that I love and enjoy good food. I never gave to much thought to my health, one because I had always been an athlete in pretty good shape and two because I wanted whatever tasted good. I guess that is how I have always lived my life, even outside of food. I have always wanted what I wanted, when I wanted it with little to no regard to the big picture. The lemonade is not as bad today I just have to keep using the restroom. All day long up and down. I am surprised I have gotten any work done at all today.

I am kind of fatigued. Not as bored as I was yesterday but I can taste food. I know it sounds weird but my cravings are bad. This is apparently because i had bites of food so my body is breaking that down and wants more. I want to give it more, but if I can't even go 3 days without food then I really have no self control.

This is my science experiment for myself , not just to see if a hollywood fad really works. I want to know if I can do it. Can I go 10 now 8, i am not starting over due to forced feeding, more days on this diet and what kind of effect will it have on my body and my health. apparently tomorrow, the 4th, 5th and 6th days are supposed to be much easier. Hopefully that is true. I am going to measure myself again tomorrow to see if there have been any changes.

BTW the book made me think that I was going to be chained to the bathroom but to day was pretty easy. I have been at work since 9ish and used the bathroom like 4 times and it is 430pm. That is not bad considering yesterday was like every 5 minutes.

It is said that on day 8 you achieve mental clarity. I hope that is true because i could use some of that right now.

Well I should go for now. Gotta find some self control before I head to my other job working at a bomb thai food restaurant. I know what am I going to do.???
