Becoming Me ~ Day 2

I made it. I made it through the posting of my stats and my first day of detox.
As I said in my first post yesterday was my first day. Admission. I received so many encouraging words and outpouring of support. Thank you to each and everyone of you. I assure you I can not do this with out all of you.
So my first day. It wasn't hell..but it was tough. It started with a full glass of warm water with a half of a lemon squeezed in. YUCK! That was probably the worst part of the day. I will get used to it. The lemon water is supposed to effective way to help eliminate toxins, clean internal waste, and promote energy. I am just going to have to believe it works and do it again tomorrow.
My biggest challenge was to eat first thing in the morning. I did have some fruit. It is going to be a difficult habit to break and get going with a good breakfast.
But, I do have to say this, by late morning, I was on my way home school and it hit me, I was starving. I was so hungry I said to one of my good friends, if I don't eat now, I will eat my arm! LOL! So I ate. During this week, its primarily fruits and veggies.
Oh the water! I drank and drank and drank today. Another challenge of mine, I never drank enough water ever. But, I did it. And I will continue to do it.
Through out the day I grazed on veggies all different ways and for dinner, my most favorite of the day Eggplant cut very thing and baked I then poured a bit of no salt tomato sauce and it was SOOO good!
Did I have any cravings? YES! I craved..bagels, bread and chocolate. Did I give in NOPE!! :o)
Trust me that wasn't easy! Tonight when things are most difficult, sitting relaxing watching TV when I want to grab that not so good snack, or something sweet, I am going to not give into that temptation. I am going to keep busy, read or maybe just go to bed. What ever it takes I will do.

Everyday there is going to be a challenge. Something I will struggle with. But I have faith that I will prevail and succeed. I am exhausted tonight and plan on getting to bed early. I hope tomorrow goes as good as today went! Tomorrow I'm making cauliflower rice! MMMMM!

Much love,

Michele
