Day 3

So yesterday I was not feeling well at all, which you could probably guess from my post. I was exhausted, couldn't think straight and couldn't figure out why the crap I would do that to myself. Today couldn't have been more different. I woke up this morning like I usually do in the morning - very slowly. But as I got going I noticed that I really didn't feel bad at all, especially compared to yesterday. I had a test this morning in my Pathology class and was done in 8 minutes... I couldn't believe it, 8 minutes. One of my friends was on question 12 (out of 42) when I turned in my exam. I have seriously felt great today! I haven't been overly tired, I haven't really even noticed hunger pains, I have been able to focus in class and I just feel good. One odd thing is that I feel like I have energy but that I'm weak... I don't know how else to describe it other than that. Anyway, I really needed today to go well with my exam and other classes going on and I couldn't have asked for a better day.

On the food front I still don't really care for vegetables. They take forever to eat and prepare and they don't taste that great. I probably ate too much fruit today but I still definitely ate more veggies than fruit, just probably not the 2:1 that I am supposed to. For dinner tonight Laura made an avocado chutney that we found the recipe for on somebody else's blog who did the SP cleanse (lots of recipes over there, as well as the SP site, definitely worth checking out!) and it was fantastic! I ate it over brown rice and it was really really good. She grilled chicken for her and the kids and I think if I would have added some chicken to it then it would be something I would enjoy eating on a regular basis.

So day 3 down successfully - only 4 more to go before I can have protein! I am very excited for that. I really like chicken, shrimp, fish... All the proteins I'm allowed to eat are some of my favorites. It's sad I can't grill them but I'll survive. One of our friends is coming to visit and we will be feeding the Missionaries twice while I'm on this diet so hopefully they don't get offended that I most likely won't be doing my grilled meals for guests. Oh well, they'll get over it I'm sure!

To recap, I can't explain enough the difference between yesterday and today. Heck, it's probably extremely apparent just in my attitude in this post. I really needed a good day and wasn't let down.
