Day 2

Today was a little tougher. This morning I was thinking "this is going to be a breeze." I had a mild headache in the morning, but it was nothing to get in the way of anything. But then after lunch I just curled up on the couch. I was a bit nauseous, had a splitting headache and had restless legs. While Jamie was preparing dinner, I almost caved but finally didn't. The smell of lasagna (dinner tonight for everyone else) actually made me feel better.

That reminds me. I have not felt hungry the whole time. Its a amazing. Yesterday I had four servings of the lemonade, and today only three. And no real hunger. I crave the flavor and texture of food, but I'm not hungry at all.

After my lemonade dinner and MonaVie™ dessert, I felt much better. I can still tell I have a headache, but it hardly bothers me at all.

I think this is increasing my sense of smell. Smells seem to be more rich and vibrant than they were before. I've started making a list of the foods I'm going to eat when I'm done. I started first by choosing a selection of soups, ending with tomato. Then after the liquids, I'm having another FreeBird burrito and a hamburger (although not necessarily at the same time).

The salt water went well this morning. I was all done within an hour and a half. Not quite what I was hoping for, since I usually take the boys to school about 45 minutes after I wake up. Either the time needs to go down, or I need to get up earlier.
