Day 3

I was up very late last night, so I woke up at 7am, chugged down 1 cup of salt water, hopped in the shower, got dressed and ran out the door. I need to be out of my house by 7:25am in order to make it into work at exactly 8am. Let's just say I wish I had woken up earlier, despite my lack of sleep. My stomach was in knots by the time I got to work. It finally went away but I was uncomfortable as the salt water will do to you for a little bit. Today was fine otherwise, again I had much more energy that I usually would when getting less than 5 hours of sleep. I drank 4 12 oz drinks from 8:30am - 5:00pm, in addition to 2 bottles of water. I added 2 oz of spring water to every cup of 10 oz because of the lemon juice issue again. I am going to chug down one last cup of 12 oz before I go to sleep so I have 60 oz in me for the day.

On the way home from work, I started to freak out. I really wanted to eat, I wasn't hungry, I just really wanted food. I think I was just tired because I took a nap once I got home and I am not as cranky anymore. I was feeling a bit obsessive like all I think about is food. I did talk about food a lot today with co-workers. The girl who introduced me to the diet was eating miso soup and I really wanted some. This other guy was talking about eating gelato in Italy and I really wanted anything Italian. This one girl makes popcorn everyday and once I smelled it, it really set me off. Again, I feel MUCH better now that I napped. The drink keeps you full, you will not be hungry if you decide to do this cleanse, I was just probably in need of sleep and got mad I couldn't stuff my face. On the plus side I totally feel less puffy and/or bloated around my middle. Even though it is only Day 3, my jeans feel a bit looser around my legs as well.

Tomorrow is around the time where you might feel a bit sick, cold or flu-like. This is when the toxins begin to remove from your system. I was definitely tired today and when I got up from my nap, I felt like I could really sleep all through the night. I also have had bad allergies, my nose has been very itchy. I also have not been taking my allergy meds which I usually take everyday. I don't want to take them and have the flushed out of my system. Maybe that phase has begun. It doesn't last long, but I am not looking forward to it if it gets any worse. I am going to go watch yesterday's Big Love that I missed last night, so I'll write in again tomorrow.

P.S. - I hate Tantopia... aka the reason I got hives and oral surgery in my mouth on a salivary gland. Don't ever go there, they have terrible customer service.
