OK, today is NOT a good day. I am hungry. Really hungry. I have a headache and for some reason I just can not fathom another glass of lemonade! I have not had a BM in 2 days now and well I am freaking out now! I have to go to IHOP tomorrow and meet my office team to do a presentation. IHOP people! IHOP! Oh God. I want so badly to go into my cabinet and dig out my flax seeds and oatmeal and eat a huge hot bowl full! OH God, please help me! I am attempting to ward this off with some peppermint tea and hell it ain’t working! I think I am caving…I am going to drink this damn tea and take my ass to bed! I can’t take this any more…maybe I will wake up with a better attitude. If not…well I guess I’ll be having waffles at IHOP tomorrow! DAMN!
Ok no…I am NOT having waffles at Ihop tomorrow and I am going to drink my senna tea tonight and I am going to read a book and go to bed. I am too close to even think like this, but I really do feel like caving..this day sucks!
I am going to take a few of my pepermint tea bags and my syrup with me. Along with a couple of bottles of lemonade, present and then go back to the office. I am not going to stay, I am not going to hang around and I am not going to go there hungry. I am going to drink lemonade til I almost puke before I leave this house in the morning!
There! Take that Gluttony!

Ok, so it is only 2:30 in the afternoon here in TX. SO I am still at work. and I am bored, which is bad because I want to eat. I have a burst of business this AM and now have a lull of nothing but paperwork!
But I digress…
I am noticing that I am now sleeping wayyy better than ever before, but I have a harder time waking in the morning. I am usually up by 5 am and out by 6:15. Now I push snooze til about 6:30 and get to work right about 8am. Very uncharacteristic of me. I am only having morning BM’s and maybe 1 or 2 small during the day. At this point it is a… well, um seems to be just heavy mucus that I am purging. Really weird.
So far I have only had 2.5 bottles of 16.9 oz bottles of lemonade. But ya know I am not “craving” anything.
Another weird thing: I got a horrible cramp today in and around my belly button…kind of freaky. It kind of felt like the area around my belly button and just below it was tight and ahrd like contractions or something. Then it just went away. What the hell was that!?
Well, Day 5 so far so good, looking forward to day 6 cause well it is another day through!

So day 4 is winding down for me. I had another great day. Busy, I had a Health, Wealth and Wellness fair that I sponsored for the employees at my building so I was running all day long. I had tons of energy and I even set up the food, popped popcorn and gave out candy! I only had like 3 16 oz bottles of lemonade today and I am no drinking my tea. Funny i am craving lemonade right now, so I will make a cup before bed as well.
So here is what I have discovered so far:

Get Regular is a much better Senna tea than smooth mooves because it is not as harsh on the stomach and Get regular has other “soothers” that help on the cleanse like peppermint and ginger in the tea.

Switching between lemons and limes is awesom too! Limes have this really, I don’t know almost buttery sweet flavor and it adds great depth to the whole lemonade drink thing too.

Bottled water, toothbrush and toothpaste are necessary carry items during the day. I brush my teeth twice as much because my tongue feels so fuzzy now, and I can’t chew gum.

If you just stop and pray for strength the moment you begin wanting to woof down food, the desire fades very quickly.

Lastly, research on meat, dairy, and sugar will make you disgusted enough to not want to eat anything! Geesh!

Ok…looking forward to Day 5! I am so proud of myself! I did not think I was going to make it this time around, but I know my history and it syas one I get past day 5 it is a cake walk for me…so stay with me… keep me going and I will do the same!
Til tomorrow….
