This is the second day of my detox and surprisingly I am doing very well. I am not starving. I was very worried about how last night would go because I tend to be a night snacker. Night is the time when I want to consume sugary snacks. But I had my final meal at 6:30 and that was it for the evening. I made a butternut squash-apple soup, which sounds a little bland, but it was yummy. I didn't make the broth thin enough so it was like eating baby food, but at least it tasted good. Today I had a grapefruit, avocado salad for lunch, which was super yummy. It is late afternoon as I am writing this and I still feel semi-full. At 4:00 I will have a cranberry drink and then dinner will be meat and veggies. As far as physical or emotional changes are concerned I am not experiencing anything drastic. I feel like I have a lot of energy, drink lots of water, am nice and regular (if you know what I mean) and am not craving sugars today. I have an organic peppermint tea that I drink in the afternoon to help curve the cravings. It just plain feels good emotionally and physically to be eating clean. I have such a peace of mind because I am concentrating on myself and really taking care of my body this week. Tomorrow I will start with my workout schedule so I am curious to see how I maintain the cravings when I am burning more calories.
I do not struggle with any major health concerns. Overall, I feel great every day. But I do have a right foot that has dry, cracked skin and I have never been able to overcome it. No matter how many foot treatments I do or what lotion I use, it just never gets better. One of the things that drove me to try the detox was the hope that my foot might clear up. I will keep you posted on any changes there.
