Random thoughts from the first day of my cleanse

Day 1 


5:30AM - I'm tired.  Did not feel like getting up this morning.  Too much partying last night, then clean up.  Got to bed too late.  


6:00AM - Oh darn, I might as well get moving.  I want to walk the dogs and start Tai Cheng.


7:30AM - done, feeling good.  Meals packed, supplements for the day packed.  Up 2 pounds on the scale from the schennanegans last night.  Oh well.  


9AM Excited, nervous.  Scared I'm not going to be able to eat so little food.  Wondering if I'm going to be rushing to the restroom.  Wondering if I'm going to be able to keep this up in real life.  Wondering how Ved will react (I want to be down 10 pounds by the time he gets home so I wow him - but that's a tall order for 1 week).  Nervous that I will get so antsy for hard core workouts, that I'll cave and throw everything off balance. Tai Cheng was fun.  Different than my expectations.  It looks lower end when you first do it.  But I think I'll like it.  


11:12AM - Tired from last night.  Really would like a nap or a cup of coffee.  Had breakfast.  My stomach is expecting more food right now, but I had a good sized breakfast, so I'm not listening.  I'm not really hungry.  Must pee for about the 5th time since I've been here.  Not sure if it's just excess water weight from yesterday, too much water today or both.  Probably both.




12:28 - not that hungry.  Wondering if the idea of a salad and only a salad with no meat is making me not really ready to jump into lunch.  Might not be a bad thing. I keep looking at my bracelet.  I need to stay focused.  


1:23 - surviving okay.   Took the stuff at 1:00.  Will eat at 1:30.  Then it's 4:00 for the next round and 4:30 for my snack.  Need to go to the store for salmon and baby potatoes for dinner tonight.


1:50 - Hmm, salad better than I thought it would be.  I think I need lots of crunchy things.  No sprouts.  Did not dig the sprouts.  It's going to take me forever to eat it, though as I have a call.  Hmm.  Maybe I should eat half, then eat the other half as my snack.  Oh pumpkin seeds down my shirt are not fun!   Okay - salad will be put away and pulled out for my snack. Trying to fit relaxed eating will be a challenge.  Might want to plan for that.  


2:48 - I think I'm totally over analyzing everything.  Why can I never just relax and enjoy the journey?  


2:54 - I'm scribbling thoughts, why am I so worried about the font?  Jeesh! 


4:08PM - just drank the alkalinize.  Yeah, not a fan.  Not at all.  But, I'll hold my nose and drink it. Not sure I'm going to eat my salad.  I'm really not hungry.  I think I'm insane. 


6:41PM - I have a head ache.  I'm thinking it's the green tea (yes, I'm drinking green tea - I don't want to deal with the caffeine headache - obviously it's not working...).  Kind of grouchy tonight.  Wanted my dinner early, so I started it (I'm the only one home), but then I realized that I did not take my paraphernalia, so I took it, then finished cooking my dinner.  It's sitting there waiting for the 30 minutes to pass.  


7:30 - Dinner was delicious.  So now I'm happy and full.  Headache has gone down (not away, but down).  Early to bed tonight as I'm exhausted.
