Days 3 and 4

Hmmmmm... Is it going to be this painless for the next 17 days? I can only hope!

First, of all, I've had no cravings. Scratch that, there was one time that I almost broke down. It was after work and I was starving. You know how they say, don't go grocery shopping when you're hungry? Take that advice and times it by a million kajillion when you are on a cleanse. I walked into Trader Joes for some frozen berries and spinach and came dangerously close to grabbing a baguette and some of their licorice and shoveling them both into my cake hole at the same time in the middle of the produce aisle. It was both the thought of failing at my cleanse and the thought of the manager being forced to decide between calling the cops to remove this crazy lady from his/her store or calling the ambulance because this crazy lady is turning blue from a deadly combination of licorice and baguette being lodged in her throat. He/She would have to stop and marvel at the fact that, despite her air passage being completely blocked, she is still trying to force more delicious Australian licorice in her mouth, that crazy lady is. You know what, kids? That crazy lady in the story could have been me. But it wasn't!!

One of Dan's co-workers is staying with us for a couple of days and they had my favorite combo of all time: bread, cheese and wine. You know something? I wasn't even tempted. Felt pretty smug about that. I think the pride (or smug) factor is going to really help me in this cleanse. Saying no to the wine and cheese made me feel the best i've felt since starting this thing.

I've only been able to muster up one hot/cold shower. The good thing about them is that the cold minutes make me really appreciate the hot minutes. The other good thing is that you appreciate the modern conveniences, like hot showers, more. The bad thing about them is the cold minutes really REALLY suck.

Goal from now on: smaller shakes at dinner. I am still digesting my shake that I finished 2 hours ago. Notskis funskis. For realskis.

No headache today. Not as tired. But, it's 10:00, which means I'll be calling it a night!

Stayed tuned... I'm still waiting for the excessive pooping to start. You don't want to miss my blog when that finally happens, do you???
