Ate a hershey chocolate almond bar on Day 4...but other than that I've been doing pretty good..nibbled on a few whole wheat saltines this morning to settle my stomach so I could go shop with mom, but that's about it. Finishing out Day 6 with my tea, looking forward to solid and delicious fatty food, but finding strength in that I've made it this far...Climbed on Friday (Day 4), biked 3 miles and ran 1.5 in the gym tonight...wish I'd been doing cardio all along, because it felt great. Hoping to swim some this week.
Missing food and still tempted by it, but not like before. Also, not hungry like before. Weighed in at 156.9 on Day 4.
Tomorrow, Day 7. :)

Day 3 Master Cleanse
Much harder day physically--felt very fatigued, sore all day (worked out on Monday, did legs pretty hard, inner thighs very very sore!), and struggled the first half of the day to just be mobile.
Got motivated to go to Toasty Yoga at the gym by 8, was feeling much better, got up and moving, by the time I got to the gym felt much less fatigued. Cravings not NEARLY as bad as yesterday. Feel like I can do this. Yesterday was definitely more mentally/emotionally challenging.
Also noticed today that I have leaned up a bit. Could see it visually, but weighed myself at the gym and came in at 158 (was 162 on Monday), which is a little over a pound a day lost, much of which came out of the intestinal tract I imagine, but maybe 2 pounds fat lost from the looks of my body. Also felt rewarding to see that my body was changing.
Tomorrow: day 4. :)

Day 2 Master Cleanse
Cravings pretty rough today--seriously considered breaking the cleanse several times from mid afternoon to evening, but managed to power through and make myself another lemonade and rent a movie to distract myself. Drank my tea about an hour ago, feeling strangely good right now. More alert and energetic than I've felt all day. Today was a pretty lethargic day. Very difficult to focus, a little cranky, physically weak. Surprisingly mentally weak. Only day two and the urge to eat something fatty and salty was nearly enough to override my resolve.
Scary to think how the body really has so much more control over us than we think. Not used to dealing with nearly- to uncontrollable urges. A bit unsettling to reflect upon.
Still feels like it will be eternity before I eat anything delicious again, but not feeling so bleak right now (the same could not be said for 3 hours ago... :)
