Hey there Day 2-ers! Hope you are doing well!

Gardener, I've been feeling that achey, tired, flu-ish way also. Whenever I have started this in the past, I remember the first two days being really hard as far as tiredness and just feeling blech.....and also the patience is limited. I find I really have to work at not snapping at the littlest things. It's not the family's fault I'm detoxing!! :)

I'm thinking about food a lot too....trying some tricks to keep from doing it but it's pretty hard. The cardio room at my gym is near the cafe, and already my smeller is working overtime. Today they were baking cookies. Don't they have any compassion??!!

I've been looking ahead at the pitfalls in the upcoming week. The only one I can see is Sunday when we are supposed to do a big brunch with my husband's family, some coming up north just to see us. If it were at someone's house, it would be easy, but it's at a restaurant, which is a little awkward. The only one who is going to give me a bad time about how horrible this is for you is his aunt, who is extremely verbal and opinionated and doesn't let anything go without a huge hour discussion about it. Wish me luck on that! Other than that, just going to be the normal "are you crazy" from other people--no big deal.

Any pitfalls for any of you with the upcoming weekend? We can be strong together!!

Cheers--

Kerry

hi fellow day 2's

so far so good with me. i haven't had any headaches or other symptoms except for the tongue coating which is starting to appear. i did have a slight ringing in the ears earlier but it wasn't disturbing. i did some very light cardio at the gym & felt pretty good so i may keep that up.

the biggest thing for me is simply missing food! yikes. i never knew i loved food so much. i had to go into whole foods to buy more maple syrup & lemons yesterday & i though about bailing... but managed to stay on track.

i've also become a mild annoyance to my g.f. by insisting on sniffing her food and making her describe every nuance of taste when eating . . . we'll see what tomorrow holds.

cheers!

Hi gardener (from another Gardner),

This is day 1 for me and I am naseous as heck. Maybe this is a good thing because the thought of food makes me ill. I hope it gets better tomorrow.

Hang in there!
