Good afternoon, guys!
Read Day 1 here for info on what the juices taste like: Cleanse Day 1
Day 2, the juices started tasting better to me than they did the first day. I definitely noted more hunger when I went longer between juices.
This may be a little TMI, but i feel it's important to mention. Last night, about half an hour or so after finishing my last juice, I was lying down reading before bed and began to feel a "cramp-like" pain in my lower abdomen. I figured it was just normal cramps, so I got up and did what I had to do, and rolled around in bed in excruciating pain for about another hour before I was finally able to sleep.
Now for more TMI. When I woke up this morning I felt normal, and hadn't bled at all. So was it really cramps, or was it some side effect of the detox? I'm not sure because the only other detox symptoms I've had have been the caffeine headache, which has finally left in its entirety (at least for now). This morning I had my water, first juice, another glass of water and then lost track of time so I'm having my second juice now, about 3 hours late. Whoops. I don't feel hungry, but the cramping feeling is back. I honestly can't tell if it's normal "that time of the month" pain or if it's the detox. Either way, it's not as bad as it was last night, and otherwise I'm doing well.
It's a blustery day here, wind and rain, gloomy clouds. I'm proud of myself that I've done this right so far. For the last almost week, all I've wanted is a hot Starbucks latte. I am definitely going to have to ease myself back into coffee, but I doubt I'll go back to meat. Maybe on special occasions, or for dinners out etc, but as it is I don't eat a lot of meat in those situations anyway. Usually chicken or fish. I want to decrease my dairy intake as well. I'll see how hard it is to reincorporate those things into my diet after this is done. Ironically I have to go out for dinner on Sunday, so I'll have to see what I can find that's not only gluten free, but also vegetarian, and easy to digest. I'm assuming a salad, but I don't trust restaurant dressings. I'll figure it out.
Anyway, I think that's enough blabbing for today. I'll let you know how I'm doing tomorrow!
Love you for reading! xx
