Well, today's not over quite yet but I figure now is as good a time as any to do my daily update. This sucks. I feel like crap. My head is killing me, my sinuses are killing me, I feel like I'm starving and stuffed at the same time every time I eat, I have absolutely no energy and I have horrible mental clarity/reading comprehension. Whose idea was this, anyway? I was hoping today would be better but it is significantly worse. I really do not like vegetables. I like fruit but I am trying to stick to the guidelines of the diet and eat twice as many veggies as fruit and I don't like it.
This was a salad I had for lunch today. I know it doesn't look like a salad but there was a whole lot of spinach under that fruit. It looks pretty good, right? I had to force-feed myself the whole way. I don't know what my deal is, I usually love blueberries and strawberries. Tonight for dinner Laura made a vegetable primavera over spaghetti squash and it was really good (oh, and I had a sweet potato to make up for last night's snafu!) except for way too much parsley. This was the first time I've ever had spaghetti squash - it was pretty flavorless but worked wonderfully as a pasta substitute.
I've been pretty grumpy today, or just feel like I have a short fuse. I'm really edgy and easily annoyed (it's like I'm on my period or something...) and just have no energy at all. I came home early from class and took a nap because I just couldn't stay up any longer. I have a major exam in the morning and am really second guessing how appropriate my timing was with this cleanse.
Ok, enough complaining. I am going to really try and stay more positive in my future posts because I dont' want to turn anybody off to this. Everybody warned me the first couple days are the hardest and they are surely not letting me down. I am really going to try and stay positive and think about the reason I'm doing this and the hopeful benefits. I'm grateful I get to try this cleanse out and am really hoping it will help me to get my butt in gear and in better shape.
Here's to hoping...
