Cleanse -- Day 2

Day 2 hasn't been too challenging from a food perspective.  If anything, I had to force myself to eat as I didn't have much of an appetite at all.  I still missed my dear coffee...the smell, the feel of the warm cup in my hands, sob!  But Spark does a good job at keeping the headaches away and really does work.  I told my sponser I'm going to go straight to snorting it!  I'm thinking after the cleanse, I may try black coffee with Stevia if it's ok in the mornings.  We'll see.  Not missing my wine at all tonight which is great!  Late night carb cravings are gone as well, but that could be linked to the wine being removed from the equation!  Energy is a different story.  I felt quite a surge last night, had a hard time sleeping, but today I got wore out pretty quickly and took a few sit down breaks.  Tried to prime some walls in my house and that plus chasing a 15 month old around did me in.  I'm sure the decreased calories are playing into that as well.  Anyway, still feeling mentally clear and I'd like to think I'm not as moody as usual...I feel a little more balanced in that aspect.  I'm not as snippy with the kids and a little calmer.  Here's a recap of Day 2. 

Wake up:  Spark + 3 catalyst tabs
1 hour later:  Fiber drink and lots of water
Mid-morning snack:  Just an apple, nothing sounded good
Lunch:  Salad with baby kale greens, grilled chicken and cukes.  Hard boiled egg.
Mid-afternoon:  Spark and 3 catalyst tabs
Snack:  Handful of raw almonds
Dinner:  Small hunk of sirloin roast and roasted carrots.  Chicken or fish should be first choices but beef is ok.  3 Omegaplex tabs
Snack:  1/4 c Roasted soynuts, herbal cleanse pack
Water, water, and more water.
Exercise:  Didn't get any in today from being both tired and busy with family activities in the evening.  Will be going to Body Pump tomorrow though.

I'm feeling a lot less bloated and gained a belt notch today from the water weight going away.  Staying off the scale for at least a week so I can measure real loss rather than fluctuations.  I'm excited for day 3, this isn't nearly as bad as I anticipated and I have some fun food choices coming up!  The weekend will be a tough one, but I'm only trying to think one day at a time right now.  I'm keeping motivated by finding blogs online with success stories from others, there are some really inspiring ones out there.
