Easing off

Today was Day 1 to ease of of the cleanse. I was supposed to drink OJ all day but I ended up getting a VERY small salad of greens, a couple slices of cukes, carrot shavings and balsamic. I ate it slow and chewed it thoroughly. Tonight after work we went to Ever'Mans food store and bought all kinds of stuff to try: Better 'n Peanut Butter, locally made strawberry preserves, organic wheat penne, marinara, two tiny (and quite expensive) peaches, and a big container of greens, plus beef broth, shakable flaxseed, organic sesame ginger dressing (YUM, I already had some), kettle unsalted chips (I hope these are good) and some veggie low sodium ramen noodles. Rich grabbed some stuff and we bought some honey for people -- our total was $80! Ouch. I think I am going to hit Palafox Market Saturday morning for some fresh veggies and fruits. For "dessert" tonight, I'm slowly eating a minipack of raisins. They're sweet and perfect.

Day 10

I made it!  Down 10.4 and feeling wonderful.  Looking forward to food.

Day 9

I am so excited to get off this cleanse. I really miss fruit.  Down 9.2 this morning...hoping for a 10 lb. loss by Thursday morning.

Day 8

Down 8.8 Hanging in there....hungry today. Thinking about taking a shot of syrup. ;D

Day 7

Down 8 lbs!! Slept a lot today. Craving bread and watermelon especially.

Day 5 & 6

Forgot to post yesterday -- was down 6 lbs. Friday morning and 6.8 this morning. Today was a challenge with the cleanse. I think it was because of the weekend and I got three pieces of bad news today that was upsetting and normally I would eat, eat, and eat. I think the call to my mom helped -- she gives me strength. I know I can make it to Wednesday.

Day 4

Doing well! Down 5 lbs. Reading about eating clean. Smelled some hash browns. That is all.
