Hey Folks,
I wanted to let you all know that I haven't fallen off the bandwagon yet! Let me tell you something - day 2 was horrible. I wanted to die. I wanted Jesus to take me home so we could feast....ok so maybe it wasn't that bad, but all I wanted was some cheese. I saw a Wendy's commercial and begged Aaron for some chicken nuggets, but after he calmed be down I was ok. In all seriousness though - Day 2 was rough: Fruit for breakfast, cucumbers for lunch and green beans for dinner. I wasn't feeling great and basically had no appetite! I had no energy to work out...shoot! But better days will come and they did.
Day 3 was yesterday. Work was busy so I couldn't dwell on food too much! I had fruit and green tea for breakfast, then a salad for lunch. I snacked on fruit again, but discovered something amazing for dinner - lentils. My husband was an angel and cooked them for me. He added tons of spices and rotel tomatoes and they were the best thing I've ever eaten - in the last three days that is. I had tons of energy yesterday and slept great - let's hope this is a new trend!
Day 4 is today - so far I've started out with strawberries and green tea and I'm going strong. I think my downfall in all of this is that I want quick and easy recipes and you have to be super creative to make this cleanse work and to not get bored. But for now, I'll stick with rice/lentil leftovers and hope that Day 10 comes soon! All I want is a piece of chicken...that's all I've ever wanted!
The only thing keeping me from quitting is that I don't want to be a quitter and I want to be faithful in what I say I'm going to do! Also, I know it's good for me, it's just not tons of fun right now. But no pain, no gain, right? Your prayers are coveted!
hmmmmm.... are you sure you're going to be strong enough to go four our run on sunday?? just let me know - i don't want to make you pass out in exhaustion!!!!! :)
