Day 2

It is day 2 at 7:00AM and I am wide awake. By the end of yesterday I was feeling severely hungry and a bit weak but this morning I feel completely better and energized. I NEVER get up this early unless I have to but I just feel really good. I stepped on the scale this morning and have already lost five pounds! That is A TON of weight to lose in one day! Last night my wife was informing me of how much skinnier I was looking already. I thought I looked skinnier too but we played it off as our imagination since we both knew I was going to be losing weight over the next 10 days. But, I guess it wasn't our mind playing tricks on us! Five pounds! How exciting to have lost five pounds and feel great (not weak or tired from not eating). So today is day two and I am thrilled at how this is going. Last night was really bad though. I had severe cravings. To make it worse a girl at work had an extra order of fries from Rays (best local fries hands down) so she tried to give them to me. I resisted though and did the cleanse 100% right. I had 3 lemonades, 4 bottles of water and 1 cup of herbal tea (no sugar or sweetener added of course). The hard work of yesterday paid off and I am on my way! I decided my last day of detox will be the 20th. That will give me a full 10 days on the detox cleanse. We also leave for Hawaii the next day and will be on a cruise for the next week so I want to be able to enjoy the food on vacation of course. The day we fly out will be my first day back on real food so I'll have to take it easy. Maybe some juice for breakfast, a few crackers for lunch then soup for dinner. After that day of taking it slow by the first day of our cruise I should be pretty much back to solid foods. I also forgot to mention that my wife is doing the detox with me. She's not as committed as I am but I'm really hoping she does the full 10 days. She said if she doesn't lose weight after today she will quit. Let's hope she loses weight. It makes it a lot easier for me having her do it with me. Ok, off to day 2!
