Cleanse - Jour Deux - Maple Syrup, bring it on!

Now try not to be jealous but I type this as have just finished my ninth lemon drink of the day.  Boy am I full.  It has been non-stop consuming today and I am just so full, wow, what a great feeling!

*Screeching brakes*  Yeah not so much!!  I have to be completely honest, again today, I only felt hungry right before I left for the gym!  Not exactly ideal timing really but it is amazing what a few gulps of water can do to quell that feeling until you get to eat....errr I mean drink your lemon drink (well me anyway).  You are smart and would just eat! :)

Today was actually easier than yesterday!  I didn't think of food much at all.  I know this sounds like "yeah as if" but it is true.  I would say, I really would.  I would love to nosh on some chips or even celery, don't get me wrong.  Eating right now sounds FANTASTIC actually, that is the honest truth.  However I don't NEED to eat. The drink really does the trick and I am actually very surprised.  Yup, it is day 2 so by day 7 I may be really desperate and things might go down hill but as of right now, I am doing okay!

I didn't get yucked out by the maple syrup today at all.  Maybe as I move further from my last solid bite of food, each thing I can actually consume will become very important and forcedly yummy!  But it did make today a lot easier to not be at all grossed out by the only thing I am consuming.

I also realized I am extremely sadistic.  I am keeping the lemons and cayenne caplets in the same cupboard as the hoards of Christmas chocolates that remain including my favorite, LINDOR!  Every freakin' time I open the door they dance around and mock me, yet because I am clearly insane, I have yet to move my stuff!  I really may have iron clad will power...thus far!

I went to the gym again!  I am rather proud.  I did 20 minutes of cardio and 2 sets of weights again and that also went well.

I have also begun, and I hope you can't blame me, to think past when this is over!  My god, 8 days to go.  But I feel I will of course, as a side effect, lose weight on this cleanse.  It will be a lot of water weight which I know will come back but it won't be all water weight.  I need to be sure that afterwards I am not just going to immediately gain it all back.  So I am going to go back to Weight Watchers.  Things are done a bit differently now so I will get caught up.  The thought of eating small portions and less is laughable at this point and I will smoke that Weight Watchers...my god, I will be a gold star pupil after this.  Some food?  Well, don't mind if I do, my friend!

Peter and I are making wine.  Tonight we moved it from the bucket to the carboy and it will now sit for 10 more days.  It is a bit of a stressful process because we do not want to screw it up but even half made wine seemed consumable in my state! ;)

Not much of an eventful day but thanks for stopping by the blog! :)

Foods/drinks I would like to eat most today:

Chocolate Milk
Starbucks
A spinach salad with chicken and feta
Raisin Bran (odd I know)

Until next time...xx
