Overcoming.

      Yesterday was rough...No, let me rephrase that. Yesterday DAY was awesome. My skin is glowing, I had tons of energy, and I'm really seeing a decrease in my bulgy belly. I felt so good that I was even considering extending my cleanse Skip to that evening, I was not happy, I wanted food and I wanted it right then. Oddly, I'm not craving sweets and fats and crap, but I really want a big salad with grilled salmon, or some killer spaghetti squash with mushrooms and feta, oh! or maybe baked chicken marinated in pineapple juice with a side of califlower rice with coconut!

   What the what!? I guess I'm glad that these are my cravings instead of the cheeseburger, fries, ice cream, omelet cravings I was having a few days ago. It does seem silly to be withholding healthy, nutritious food that my body needs, but I am dedicated to this, and only have a day and a half left :) I can do it! Some of the research I did said that if you have to chew something, have some celery or some avocado and salt. Others said that you should have a little lean protein in the evenings. When I started, I decided that I would not be eating anything but the fresh fruit and veggie juice that I was making myself. I've stuck to that for 3.5 days now and I'm finally in the home stretch!

  I'm planning on having a really awesome meal when I'm all done with this. Nothing too crazy, I'm sure my stomach is shrunken. I weighed myself on Saturday morning at 177.8. A lot of that was water weight from my vacation drinking and my 36 hour binge, but I weighed in this morning at 172 :) I'm sure that once I eat, some of that will come right back, but it's still a nice number to see.
